that sucks man, gl with your rebuild. I'm going under the knife as well in july for my rebuild.

Thanks for correcting me Brettus, as I didnt know that, I only got to the first page :rofl:

Nuke... any updates

word^^^

the motor came out of the car today. Patrick's going to take the motor apart tomorrow.

Hurry up and get that damned car fix man....and don't be like me last summer...hah hope everything comes together for ya...

Sucks dude, such a nice build.

Gauges and alarms are so important on FI cars. I once had my oil return line come off at speed and had no oil pressure gauge. By the time I realized my engine was toast.

you may want to install a w/m system while you are at it?

looks like a blown corner seal. no damage done. i'll try and get some pics.

Wow... that might be a first.

here's some pics.

my Esmeril Apex seals and Pineapple Racing HD water seals came in last week. Patrick took some stuff to RotaryResurrection to get powdercoated. should have it back together this coming week. i might be able to pick it up next weekend.

oh yeah, it also turned out that the blown side seal did some damage on the way out. i needed a new rotor housing.

wow that sucks bro. Whenever my time comes im thinking of using the same seals as you

Nuke, email or IM me before you drive it out of there bro!

Patrick found a broken Apex seal.

wow, awesome, housings look great!

Wow damn nice man......That is the high temp powdercoat right?

i'm finally back from going out to sea. i heard the other day that my car runs. going to be picking it up next week hopefully.

Hey Nuke, hoping for the best for you! Your car stands out in my memory bigtime from the jersey sushi meet :)

thanks Beth. :)

UPDATE:

i've had the car back for a while now. had some problems keeping it running. it idles perfectly but is running rich. it is still not driveable. i need to send my Cobb AP back to get fixed and then do some tuning. hopefully it will be fine after that.

i also have a couple other things i need to do:
repair melted gauge wiring
install boost gauge/controller
install washer fluid/2 stroke tanks

the problem is now i have moved away from my car and have no job to pay for any of this. i will keep everyone posted once any changes happen.

^ Sucks dude.

could be worse actually. found out my pulley does not wobble at all, which is something i was worried about.
