maybe its faster to me now since my motor was already in bad shape to begin with before the build so after building it and getting it fixed it runs in good shape even tho its a built NA for now

 

^^^ I still cant believe they wouldnt warranty the motor man. Im also looking for another car but not for me itll be for the wifey after that ill start saving up for my kit as well.

 

^yea i want my gf to get a xb..lol

 

Ok, so it has been about 4 months since your last post on this thread and at least that long since I saw you at our little Chipotle meet in the Kentlands. Does this thing have FI yet or what?

PS. Sorry for dropping off the planet man but had to get some things worked out with the wife and pretty much dropped out of everything for a while. All is good now though.

 

its not boosted yet but hopefully it will be soon......


PS: 1989menace is a ricer

 

Well, it costs money to do that crap so I can understand that. Hell, I have done nothing new to my car other than put gas in it!

 

That's the first time I've seen the internals of the 2AZ.

 

yeah your right man, this hobby is a money pit.

 

yep not boosted yet. plans are on hold til 2011 summer...boost/built head/roll cage....i need to get a daily reliable car before boosting just in case somthing goes wrong so i can still be able to pick up my son and go to work. im in no rush..... me and nino (pupusatuning) will have both are cars ready for 2011 summer hopefully...thats if we stop being fat and eating out all the time...lol

 

my car will be up and running in may, i think my brother saw your car at MIR a couple weeks ago. how far are you from ocean city?

 

yes i was at MIR. im about 3 hours away from OC bro

 

6 new pics! pg1

 

cars lookin good, i cant wait to get pics of my block once its done at the machine shop, we are using pretty much the same internals except ive already got my built head and cams...

 

can't go wrong with gold wheels on SW. amazing car.

built short block is sick! I'm jealous.

 

looking good.

 

built head? u lucky *****...lol what size turbo are you gonna use?

 

hey thanks bro....your car is still the best on SL....

brides and your sick nt03m's..IM JEALOUS..lol

 

are those falken 452s? they look so much thinner weird compared to my 235/45 kumhos..mines are so much chunkier. which i hate

 

hey pete there hankook rs3's 235/45/17. there nearly bald tho maybe thats why they look thinner

 

hows the rubbing? we have almost the same specs i think. im hating my 235 kumho.. the side wall is super soft and my car has lost some of this responsiveness. i think the flexing on the side wall has killed it. i coulda sworn yours were 225 when we talked a while back. i guess ill be going back to 225 452 falkens.

car is looking great though man!
