New Stuff

[zbrown]

got some pics of the cage, I guess i have never done any cage work ever, but i like the way this turned out

I can't believe what a cage will do to the chassis, I have always heard it stiffens them up but i can't believe how much

i can jack on one front corner now and three corners come up very easily, never was like that before

DOM material, SW kit that i worked over to my liking

Looks sweet!!!

[zbrown]

thanks man!

made a super special bracket for the BC, haha

did cause I can't get to it like before with the compressor clocked like this now

Hallman must have a ridiculous anodizing system..... i welded it on there and it didn't discolor anywhere, usually anodizing has always discolored in the near area of welding for me

couple pics i took while zac was welding his ic piping

nope i lazy, but look like a stud! haha

took it out the first time the other day since i have an appointment at the body shop to get some stuff done

all i can say is it is a totally different car, the new heads, turbo, converter, trans, and intercooler really did something

on base spring pressure of 4.5psi right now it would shit on what it was like last year on 8psi

LOVE the converter and powerglide too, great combo in the light car with boost

[zbrown]

ok have a few projects because it is supposed to snow again

hood dampers
add another muffler
sump the tank
add an electric cutout in the front fender

First i bought the cheap ebay set of dampers....... didn't like how they worked; they didn't open the hood nearly enough for my liking, and they made the hood bow at the rear because of where the gas spring pressure was being applied

So went to my hook up and John Deere and got a couple the length i wanted with the force i wanted

i changed where the little brackets mounted and TIG'd them to the hood arm so they didn't move all gay like

turned out great, can't believe i finally got it done........ i got rid of the stops on the hinges so that it opens WAY up now

next is a tank sump

I don't know who undercoated this car but it is ridiculous, stuff is so thick it makes a mess taking it off anywhere

shot some bedliner stuff on there when i was done, not done with redoing the pump mounting and plumbing

next is a muffler, adding another 14" magnaflow upstream of my current one, doing this to make it even more quiet

I just like going from sounding like nothing to pist off when the gates open

and last is a cutout right off the turbo to the front fender..... working on that

THIS!

(glad I wasn't the only one)

Hope you sealed the tank after welding on it. If not I am betting it already has rust in it.

This. We didn't do that to my integra tank after we sumped it and it ate two aeromotive pumps.

Thanks!

the thing on the trailer is a big dune buggy thing of my uncles that i am fixing, and yes it does look like fun!

haven't lined the tank yet, will when my stuff gets here

i steamed it out again after i was done welding and i looked into it today and there is no rust anywhere yet so i should be fine

[zbrown]

did some more today

here is the start to the cutout

I plan to go from that Vband the rest of the way down to the cutout and out the fender with aluminum

will 16 gauge be fine or will i need something like 11? anyone?

and then did the pump mount, you can see in the one pic where the second muffler went

haha, more like sit at the end of the track and BS while i hope the shit stain in my pants is not visible

great events though, can't wait to come back

[zbrown]

ok well my cutout still hasn't got here but called DMH and they said it will be here tuesday

so i decided to finish it anyway and then splice the cutout in when it gets here

i made a plugged V band so i can plug it for now and do some testing open vs closed

turned out nice, car sounds like it means business for sure! love how i have the idle now too

turned to lock

and a cool little vid

turbo lsx rx7 now with DMH cutout to the front fender
