The Project Pad

Sounds burly man!

This car will join the 100mph club this year. Fun times

Also, if anyone has a set of new unused rear tierod ends, let me know as mibe are shot. Got cash ready to go. No chinese crap

Also discovered the control arm bushings are shot so going to be ordering some powerflex for myself finally

Damn! that sounds good!

Sounds awesome Jared! Is that with a big cam in there?

Yeah. I cant wait to get the new cam in there. No way cis will work with it though. Im going to start building a complete new head with the techtonic big valve 7mm setup. Im trying to get about 5-8* overlap built in to support the header/turbo combination ill be throwing on

Dammit.....does anyone know where I can get a windshield decal that says "Audi quattro"? It's the same one on Ben's oceananic

Hit up Kuma, he will make you one.

He cant do curves yet for windshields

Exhaust sounds insanely meaty, take it to some track events!

20v's do sound way better than 20v's

So I've started thinking that the boost issue may be related to a collapsing intake hose. I've read about different vehicles having this same problem and it seems the problem always relates to a hose. I'm starting to think it was the hoses Ben and I used to connect the new cis routing together. I'm going to try throwing some of my own on there and see if that doesnt solve the boost issue. I just dont see the CIS causing a total falloff on the boost.

So I think I found my boost issue. It's a possibility so I'm going to stick a piece of tubing in there to reinforce it.

Here we go again!!

Haha, you have pulled this head so many times... Jeepers. Git'r done! We definitely need MOAR boosting vids on the street of this thing with its burly exhaust.

My god that exhaust sound.

just wait till there are no exhaust leaks LOL

Bought some new toys to play with yesterday....giggity. Been needing them for quite a while now.

Pictures to follow...mwhahahahahah

Dude she sounds awesome.... I've yet to rev mine over 3500 and its just wastegate pressure but I cant keep her pointed straight on the gravel (Rwd mode) Keep me posted on that cam. actually gimme a call when you have a chance I need some help tracking down some parts.

Here is a picture of one of my new toys. $225 with full bottles, full tip kit, hoses, regs, cart, etc (basically everything)




I'll have a picture of the other one this weekend when I go back to pick it up.

:O No fucking way!!!!!

Yeah no more breaking my damn pickle forks trying to get stupid balljoints seperated

nicely done... I was able to score 2 huge tanks via craigslist for $100. Guy I picked it up from used to build NHRA Dragsters built around honda motors. Had some cool things in the garage. Tanks are both about 4' tall... bigger than I ever really need, but I also probably never "needed" an OA setup. This went along w/ the new Victor torch kit a buddy gave me for payment for cutting a cage out of a race car. $40 cart from HF later, and in busines!

Damn, thats a good deal right there too! I'm just excited to pick up the other piece I bought. I'm more excited about that vs fixing the boost issue on this damn car lol

You're doing it wrong if your breaking them! over my years I've found that pickle forks are mostly good for tearing the dust boot. a nice hammer and well placed hits will knock them loose most of the time. if I use a PF, its now a last resort, and figure on replacing the joint.

when you going to put the head back on? before or after my engine is back together and resting on some new poly mounts?

NEEDS MOAR VALVES!

I'm throwing the engine back together tomorrow and thursday

Great, you can drive to Carlisle on a fresh build!
