The Project Pad

awesome!!!! so whats stopping you from some boost??

lots.

tires are cords, just roll arounds. and not aligned.

no boost control plumbed yet.

2 lugs per wheel.

no boost charge pipe on yet.

got some things yet to do, but in due time.

ah, well thats certainly not that much! Go get out there so we can have in-car vidz with boost this week

oh, you will. but only from the track.

I was hoping for a burnout or something...

COME ON AARON!
Show us what you got bro!

so a couple more quicky driving vids. i am trying desparately to get the VSS issue sorted out, but i think i have no luck with this at this time. so no boost by gear for me. can do manual launch control, though. doubt i will bother with it though....

and first impression of a twin disc? will take some getting used to. remember i have no alignment yet, and trying to take it easy. also do not have charge pipe on or boost control solenoid wired in. nor any of the WG plumbing done.

i am taking it easy right now, not trying to pound it..... but that clutch is a grippy bitch though.... and its feeling like it is gonna be a fokking blast to run it. hope it weighs ~2300 or less.... but whatever it is it is....

plus, i am sicker than a dog. feels like someone hit me full on in the face, with a damned shovel or something.

oh yes, i went and got the onboard video setup from the rabbit, along with helmet and jacket. and a shift light. so its getting there.

I like how you had to enter the car by moving the crap in the garage out of the way and then snaking yourself in the car Car looks really good in that GM color, reminds me of a color called Spice Red on the 06 GTO's

roll cages.... monkey bars. i did not take the time to do the driver swing out door kit yet, just wanted to get it together for this weekend.

Cars looking good.

Also your twin will get better the more you drive it. I know mine got way better the more I drove it. Also in the DSM world we are using a accumulator off a 2g eclipse gsx. Makes the twin go from being a on/off switch to a almost normal feeling clutch. I know tilton sells restrictors that help with the on/off feel.

Way to go, Aaron. It's always good to see them take their first baby steps.

I can't wait for the vids from this weekend
congrats on the start of enjoying the fruit of your labor....ohhh mannnn, it's going to be awesome

ok, its nighty night for the car. 7 items on the TO-DO list, 2 of which are wants and not needs.

when are the drag races again?

car is looking awesome man, great work! :bashtard:

car show is sunday aug 30

the import challenge is saturday aug 29

thanks all again for the props

and i tossed on the slicks to take a quick spin and see how they drive. did a lil walk around. car looks great. running smooth, and we will see what happens power-wise tomorrow.

but damn it looks tough. sounds mean. lets hope i can drive it to some good times

awesome work... can't wait to see this thing in full-dress doing some angry driving 8)

I sincerely wish I could spring the time and $$ to be there for the maiden voyage down the strip!

Hope as many MG'er as possible get there to enjoy the 1st runs...

im getting home (seattle) from brasil on saturday so i dont know if ill be able to make it.
ill try tho

so the weigh-in. heavier than i had hoped. forgot that AWIC water weighs a good portion. the truck scale goes in 50 lb increments i guess.



so it is between 2500-2550 without me, and a solid 2750 with me. i am ~230 so ~2500-ish lbs for the car, all fluids full.

i added a couple bars to the cage as well, but it still is much lighter than it started.

and man does it look ready to go.

:thanks: Now I can't leave my desk for the rest of the afternoon

Looks menacing. I love that rear 3/4 shot with the sun glare.

AARON!!!! :woowoo:
