The Project Pad

I thought I had a thread here but I didn't see it in searches.

VEMS standalone, 7 bar map, dual wheel speeds, knock and egt
car is a stock block, stock compression, stock head.
only runs on e85 and I use the ID 2000cc injectors.

I have parts for a second motor with oversized valves and some porting but I want to see how far I can push this stock motor first.

This winter I plan to finish the cage. and rebuild the rear end suspension and mount components.



need to change exhaust still, my muffler is a tad low in the streets with the small tire setup on it.. was fine with the 17s

changed to a dual 044 surge tank as well.

Put the 16" wheels back on which I like how these look better then the balloon tires on my 17". I need other tires as uts too low on the 16" as well.




I am still looking for a v6 euro bumper, but I made some carbon blanks and put some brake ducts where the fogs sit for now in this short one.







also I've been practicing my launching and burnouts in the driveway..
I have one on youtube.

video isn't the best but this was when I was setting up the launch control and boost

I get my license back in 7 days and ill host more

just bought wildwood front calipers so hopefully I can get them on soon as well

looking to rebuild the rear end, first is rear tie rods, anyone know the length of these off hand I have the longer version ones factory

only had enough moly to make one today,



so I bought some radius rod for now but had to turn the down a touch

How long did they end up being? I want to do this on my 80q, but haven't had a chance to look into it.

Also, are you planning to drill the tierod holes straight through? If not, I may be persuaded to make you a pair of taper pins for the rod ends.

They fit good

I would love to have a taper pin. However I was going to drill them straight through as that is how my fronts are.

Understandable. What did the length on them end up being?

Chromoly heims too

There are long and short arms factory depending what year rear hubs u have.

That also dependant if your heims measure the same length as mine.

made a video to show someone the Bluetooth

anyone else using the LED headlight bulbs, they are amazing and I found ones with heat sinks and fans on them.. they also fit in the housing of b4 headlights.

much brighter over normal h4 bulbs which were good quality bulbs to begin with.

h4 on left - LED on right..

LED I'd assume is more durable than HID?

yes hid suck an blow bulbs and ballast.. these never blow being LED.. use less power and put out a bright light beam as well as a truer pure white and kelvin is better

info on bulbs?

Ebay. I found one of the highest lumens of output 9,000

But there are a ton of different ones on there. I have led bulbs in all 5 of our vehicles now.

Thansk guys. Means alot to me.

Well I got the car aligned Friday after the new tie rods. And the mechanic pointed out a leak between trans and engine. First thought was rear main or trans. But when I got home I noticed a drip in the driveway and it looked and smelled like brake fluid. Turns out my slave was leaking. So I put a new one in. Bleeding clutch by yourself sucks. Even with a vaccum pump.
