driveshaft complete, extended wheel studs on front wheels, next week i should be driving around

installed extended wheel studs on the front wheels, and raised the car a little on the coil overs, pressed the driveshaft together, insanely enough this driveshaft tube was donated from a youtube member! he made it for me to my measurements, and i just put my ends on and viola, tossed it in. its awesome how the community gives back!

trying to go over everything 3x and zip tie a bunch of stuff to make sure it doesnt fall out or burn on things, etc.

stuck a nice squeeze performance sticker there in the engine bay gotta represent my sponsors!

fairmont 5 update/surprise

joeys l33/80e 5 series bmw running!

accessories throttle cable, and gas tank putty!

fuel cell had leaky fittings and o rings, always wanted to try that quicksteel putty stuff and holy shit it works great

smash together, roll up in a log like play dough and cover the edges of the fittings, and viola, hard as cement in an hour and doesnt leak a drop


blazer alt, truck bracket, caravan throttle body

also my friend that gave me the fuel cell also gave me a quick disconect steering wheel attachment, and we figured, what the hell, why not make the tsock wheel a quick disconect one just for fun

so my neighbor is going to machine the hub down and flatten it and bolt it to the hub then we will weld it on the stock column

fairmont 5 update time again

started tearing into the fairmont

pulled the motor, trans, and much more, pulled out the dash, going through the wiring now cleaning it all up then i think ill do the K member swap first.

nearly done with the ventura

coolant system is closed up, and circulating, fan is working numerous other things setup and working great right now, car is getting paperwork and registration this week so we should have it out and making some noise, very curious to see how much power it makes and how it does.

truck is alive! then we pulled the trans...

fired it once i did the oil lines, everything worked good to feed and return the oil, very well, so then we hooked everything up and fired it, viola! running good everything seems great, so we shut it off and pulled the trans for my friend to build tomorrow, and then we will put in the trans, converter, and maybe even take it for a spin...

hung two turbos and two wastegates

hung the turbos and wastegates today off the stock manifolds!

rollin!

check out the video update!

heads, ls9 gaskets, studs, injectors, intake today!

installed the studs, heads, ls9 gaskets, the heads already had pac 1218 springs in them from a friend. then we dropped in the hardware store fuel rail spacer kit, and i even included what i use for those of you that have asked before. going to take a break form this thing tomorrow night to help a friend out with his supercharged f150 project, ill get some info and whatnot on that, then we will build a turbo kit saturday.

brake boosting the sunturd in the driveway

nearly ready to take out on the street, here is some video of brake boosting the car in the driveway haha

sounds awesome!

sunbird project running already!

installed the pumps, fuel lines, wired the relay, both pumps, connected the new lines on the sumped tank, to the feed and returns that were already in the car, got the knock down fittings in the front in the engine bay to the rails and the return fittings working great, no leaks, its a 255 and a 044 together...

also got the starter swapped out, put in a push button start though the shifter safety, also made the downpipe and wastegate pipe out the hood, just gotta throw in the O2 sensor bung and hook that up and then wire that to the megasquirt box and its really done.

we really hustled today and it paid off, car fired with the first starter hit no problems. only have to finish hooking up the fan, rad hoses and fill the block with coolant and very few other things like boost gauge and whatnot.
