Bullshit, we'll still have newbs saying "I searched but couldn't find anything" Then we'll link them 9k's thread, then they'll say "I read 9krpmxr8's thread but i got lost."

 

Between yesterday and today I finally caught up to the end of this thread. I really thought it would have been completed and then some when I first started reading.

Really hope everything goes smoothly for you this weekend! And I seriously hope you get some grace and patience for the 2k miles of break in you have waiting for you on the other side. If you get impatient you can drive up here to Charlotte and maybe kill off those miles.

 

Yeah after all this the break in is going to kill me.

 

9k, you firing up the beast this weekend?!

 

That's the plan. Hopefully all goes well.

 

Are you working on it tomorrow? If you are, I might stop by to lend a hand/watch if I'm free.

 

Dang ---you like it rough-huh?
You building a track car?

 

He's building a street car, that can keep up with modern cars LOL.

 

free post?

 

Yeah I work until 12 and then after that I'll be around the house.

I'll finally be able to keep up with those pesky turbo beetles.

 

And Focuses!

 

Just saw this on another forum... Figured it was somewhat relevant to this thread:

 

That's amazing.

Though I don't really see how it is relevant to the thread. No one here is making/using a custom billet aluminum compressor wheel.

 

Ngo, that is what has been taking me so long

Anyway ran into some snags, had to move some things around

Are we there yet? Or more blah, blah, blah? Lol, jk. Good Luck Man. Getting closer.

 

Super Secret Snail.

I see Zipties! A build this long should NOT have ANY zipties.

 

It involves turbos? lol

I didn't feel like starting another thread and figured enough people interested would see it here... plus it could distract people from the slow progress.

 

but nothing could distract from the slow progress...

Either boost tomorrow or BUST!

 

or boost tomorrow AND bust

 

Did someone say bust?

 

*Ahem* What was that about distractions?

 

Based on how things were looking when I left.... Dont get your hopes up.

 

Zip ties were just holding things up since I was working solo until 8 Maniac got there. All in all the plumbing is situated and damn those couplers fit tight. The original owner cut the pipe that attaches to the TB but Teamrx8 sent me the right pipe size to make up for it so I just have to get that cut to get it all buttoned up.

Man, one thing I know is that you can never have enough tools.

 

Aint that the truth, I just bought $80 worth of tools and still need to go to the machine shop!

 

Good to hear its moving along! Just keep picking away. It will be done.
