A really crappy video clip I took when I got my tires mounted:

The ether wasn’t necessary, but I thought it was cool, haha!

First real test fit…

August 14th, 2010

So I got the tires mounted on my rear wheels today – big thanks to Cars Inc for doing it in such short notice and very quickly, not to mention for a great price!  I brought a wheel up to Sage/RE-Spec Garage to test fit it up there when Brian joking asked if it would [...]

All about fitment

August 3rd, 2010

Today, fresh back from LA as of last night (thank God I’m out of that horrible city!), I was able to work on a few fitment issues.  Firstly, I was able to test fit my new rear lips with the freshly machined faces that I had 5mms removed from the back to raise the offset [...]

So, I know its been a while, but a lot of free time was put into my friend Steve’s car.  He was diagnosed with a brain tumor so my car crew (including myself) put together his car for him while he underwent treatment.  Thankfully, the aggressive treatment has been successful and he is in full [...]

More motor work….finally

April 11th, 2010

Sorry for the lack of updates.  I went out to California to visit my sister and have been pretty slammed at work.  I went out last week and bought a die grinder, a cutting wheel conversion, 3″ cutting wheels, some quick releases, and some air hose so I could finally use the air compressor I [...]

Moar motorwerk…

March 5th, 2010

Replaced the cam bearings, installed the cam, cleaned the heads and block, installed valve springs/retainers, reinstalled the lifters, LS4 oil pump, and timing chain.  It took a few days after work to accomplish this, hopefully it’ll be all together after this weekend.
I took a few pictures to show the difference between the stock valve springs [...]

Finally….some motor work!

March 1st, 2010

I finally got all of my parts in the mail, got moved in, and stopped rolling people’s fenders on my time off.
A good friend of mine who is much more familiar with these motors is helping me out quite a bit with this – and I definitely couldn’t have done this with out him.
I loaded [...]

Weekend Update

December 14th, 2009

The car is so close to being ready to receive its new power plant.  Here’s what got done this weekend.  Raz helped me cut out the dash and door panels to fit the cage.  I did it all with an angle grinder and shot hot plastic/glue everywhere for a few hours.  It came out ridiculously [...]

My new Trust DD showed up today!  My friend’s in Japan bid on this for me on Yahoo auctions back in September, and I am happy to see that it showed up in near perfect condition today!
I can’t believe how much bigger the piping is from the NA Trust DD I currently have.  The LS1 [...]
