haha, this is very true. I am pretty sure my headgasket is blown. gonna be doing a compression test today when it warms up a little bit. its 20 degrees right now and with the windchill, it feels like 6.

 

So after many headaches, I got another one...

Tuesday Jan 5th, I had the car delivered to my driveway where its sitting right now.







I am working with limited tools right now cause my tool box is elsewhere and I dont have a car to go get the tools.

This is supposed to be the relay box. LMAO!!!



Pulled the fender, headlight, bumper (what was left of it) intercooler piping, intake, and BOV off.



Radiator is out. Turns out it is bent. Gonna see if some local guy can repair it.



Discovered that my water neck is broken. Gotta ask some local people for one. CAS cap is also broken. Thats gonna be a little harder to come by.



As she sits right now, till I get some more tools to work on her.

 

sorry to hear that man i think you need full coverage next time progressive will do the worht of the car as they did on my friend emily's 800whp supra . Im working on my discount stuff before i get my full coverage ,i.e. alarm and a 45 to keep in the glove box .lol

 

Wait, I'm lost . . .did you hit someone? Something big? Try to drive over a landmine? I'm so confused, what happened?

 

Well this should prob explain it.

WOW! That sucks hard. Sorry to hear about that at any rate . . .sucks when bad things happen to good people and great drivers.

I won't even insult you by asking if you were dicking around, I'm sure you weren't. Is it recoverable, or are you just going to transfer to a different chassis?

 

Im gonna repair her. I have to cut out core support and weld a new one in. I also have to rewire some of the stuff for the relays.

I am just going to move all the fuses, relays, and battery into the cockpit. Just gonna completely rewire the car and remove any wiring I dont need.

 

mmm sounds like a good write up! lol

 

Always a silver lining

 

I havent updated in awhile. Its been too cold to get any real work done on my car. I just started stripping the interior/exterior. All the metal/engine work is gonna be done in the spring.

Went out and took some pictures of her as she sits.

This is where she sleeps. I turned the motor over a few times by hand just to keep everything moving. I do this prob twice a week.







The ugly

 

Ouch man. Ouch.

 

sucks man. btw just unplug the CAS and crank it with the starter it works better then spinning it with your hand tools since the starter spins the motor at about 200rpm and u do like 3 rpm not really doing anything lol

 

damnit scott-sorry bout this one man. at least your fine(no homo)-and the beast is still fixable. you think you'll have it ready for the ohio meet you was talkin bout elsewhere?? funny thing is-mine isnt wrecked but its sittin in the garage lookin the same(no hood,bumper,fenders on it) later bro

 

I could get the car on the road by the time the meet comes around but it just wouldnt be logical. haha. I cant turn the car over with the starter unless I hook it up directly. The harnesses are all torn out.

 

Alright, little update.

Bought myself a little birthday present.
Ksport Hydraulic E-brake


And I went to Autorama saturday and picked up a water temp gauge. I know its not the best brand but it was only $15 and it matches my other gauges.


Saturday night was filled with laughs, beer drinking and motor pulling.





SR trans is on the left, KA is on the right.



This is my ****ty clutch that is destroyed. Time for an ACT stage 2.
