Project AW11: Low n Slow

very nice man well now you can go race it and it will be amazing

 

yea and those fittings should give you like 20 hp. its gonna be amazing!

 

ha ha ha very funny i was just trying to say that with the new motor the car will be that much more fun. and those fittings are some of the last things that he needed so a little testing should be in store.

 

had some downtime today since im waiting on parts

so i washed her today

niiiice A-Dub

 

thanks guys

i realized that my passenger 1/4 panel is all warped from hammering... i'll take care of it next week sometime. i still need to clearance the drivers rear so i can lower the car more.

 

which tires ya using again?

 

front are rt615 rear are ze512

rear will be the same once i burn the rest of the ze's off.

 

oooh alright
im going for ze912s for the rear for now

 

like 5-7 coats of color (i stopped counting) and like 10 of clear. no wetsanding or anything [yet/if ever]

 

that looks realy good.

hey whats you lug offset and rear offset you are looking for to match the fronts.

 

im 4x100 and im looking for either 15x9 or 16x9 with a 0 to -10ish offset.

 

hell yeah, it's looking good:thumbup:

 

woo VC looks goood

 

alright. i now have power.

i wasnt sure if infact the exhaust cam was off 1 tooth or not. it was closer to half a tooth retarded. so i decided to change it anyway (woo non-interference motor!) and test it out. it threw a CEL (but no code) when i first started it up (no belts hooked up) but i figured id put the SC and ALT belt on and take it for a drive.

sure enough, CEL went off after the belts were put on. i took off and lost a piece of my exhaust that was ghetto rigged on there :roflmao: makes good power now, but i think the dizzy is off a tooth now (cranked all the way clockwise looking from the cabin side). it had to be all the way that way to get it to idle, but my timing mark on the crank doesnt line up when i use a light on it. that will be fixed tomorrow-ish.

tonight i can finally do an alignment and see how the car feels with the coils, wheels and tires, and TRD alignment specs

 

Kick ass, and I don't know what happened to my spring compressors. Just rent them from AutoZone I guess.

 

thats what we did, and will do again.

peter has to have them since neither of us do... oke:

 

everyone likes pics. it drives straight[ish] now. couldnt adjust the rear toe because the 21 year old tie rod rusted together.



sorry for the ultra shitty picture. they were quick, as the instructor decided to bitch at me after HE said that WE can bring our own cars in and work on what we want. then today he bitched that i didnt watch people work on converting a r12 AC system to r134 (yet he didnt tell me when i pulled my car in, or call anyone in the class over to do a demo). luckily we only have 2 weeks left.
