After years of being parked, she lives again. Blower is sold, Zex kit is sold. Basically back to stock, kinda sad actually. These things are so slow in stock form. Full exhaust, mounts, shifter, and other stuff is staying on the car. New tires and brakes on fri, and time for her to find a...
Parked for the last 3 yrs, she's gonna need some love. Check out the cardomain page below for pics etc. I'm taking the blower and nitrous off. Car has always been tuned safe, and well maintained, so should have lots of good years left in her. Any questions, shoot me a PM. Or call...
Original owner, 2002 sonic SVTF. JRSC, ZEX, etc etc etc. 31Kmiles, stored for the last 2+yrs. Needs tires badly. I have many new mod parts, pulleys etc. Should I install and get tuned for max hp, then sell? I just bought a 470hp turbo accord, and I might keep it. Just tossing around the...
Been eyeing this car on Ebay for a while, finally called the guy and it'll be here early next week. 1995 Accord Coupe, built h22, gt35r turbo, 469whp at 18psi(high boost) and 330ish at 12psi(low boost). Should be fun. I'll prob just sell it, I think I can make some $$. Hope these pics show...
So I'm assembling the parts needed to make her right, she's been sitting for 2+ years(since I opened the gym). I have the 2.95 upper pulley, the 5.7 crank pulley, Boost a pump, 60# injectors, Diablosport Mafia. Just waiting on the $ for a J&S Ulrasafeguard, and a tune from Tom. Looking for...
It's new in the box, still coated with anti-corrosion lube from the factory. I need money more than I need to build this thing. $1999 plus shipping($175ish, it weighs 110lbs). Get a fresh tranny under there, and get going! These things retail for $3495 from Ford. I'll accept cash, money...
I've got them on ebay too, but they'll go for $59. New would be close to $150. Tell your buddies with regular foci or could be half a set for a mustang. E-
I got a great deal on ebay($91 shipped) on the VF Pass side mount, and installed it this morning, not too bad on the install. Big difference in vibration at idle, and driving hard is tighter(tough to quantify, but it feels great). I love it! I already have the poly inserts in the lower mount...
I've now had the upper bracket unscrew itself from the blower and drop the alternator twice. So this time I used thread locker. It doesn't stop the car, it just lands the alternator on the oil filter, which could be bad. Just ranting, cause now I have 2 skinned knuckles. Thanks for...
This is off topic, but you guys are like extended family so I can ask here. I'm in the beginning stages of opeing a gym. It'll be small, 3000sq ft, so no tennis or pool. But tell me what you think it should have in it. I'm gonna do a dry heat sauna in the men's locker room, and a whirlpool...
Could I run coolant lines through the intake? If I drilled holes and ran some type of metal tubing through the intake(under the blower) a couple times, and attached those to a heat exchanger like the cobras and lightnings, should that work? Another question. Do those systems have a pump of...
I brought the SVTF to the local eighth mile last sat. Lots of fun. Ran consistent 9.3s with no launch to speak of and no nitrous. It's over pretty quick, I'm used to the 1/4. The integra ran 10.9, pretty good for a 15 year old, non-vtec, auto. The focus still needs some more tuning, I'm a...
I put the ORP back on yesterday, I was tired of a (too) quiet car. Now she sounds great. I think it sounds different than it did pre-tune. Possible? Anyway, she sounds great!! Made my whole week. E-
In Haywood Custom speed for 10 hours yesterday due to icy conditions, I got to see some good stuff. Procharged 04 Mach 1. Twin 46mm turbos on a 04 GT conv auto. Randy's 05' mustang body that will in 8-9 months be a 7 second car. A 10"lifted 97' F-150 getting a 02' Lightning powertrain swap...
Got back on the dyno with Predator in hand yesterday. In Aug we ran it and I was really lean, so I pretty much parked it. Now it's smooth and happy. We got the a/f ratio under control and picked up about 25-35 hp in the mid range. Up top we didn't get much more. But the numbers are as...
If I can't go 15, I want to go 16" since I already have the rims. But I've had a hard time finding a drag radial, or slick. I've tried Falken Azenis Sport(racing tire). Even heated up, it seemed to spin as bad or worse than the stockers. Ideas, opinions? E-
Is there anybody who has even heard of a 15" rim fitting on the front wheels? I heard some guy in Albany, NY had some special "JDM" Mazda wheels from a turbo 626 only avail in Japan. He then had the wheels machined to allow them to fit over the front brake caliper. I know that may have...
