looks dam good. Very nice work

 

Geoff, and plans for a dyno session? Looks badass!

 

I like your headlights...and the turbo is pretty cool too..that will be my next project.

 

I contacted a local place, Synapse Motorsports, about doing a few power pulls once everything comes together. Knock on wood, it'll be the 12th (next week). I am not loading up on a dyno on friday the 13th.
I got the idea for them from you, and I gotta say it was a pretty brilliant idea.

 

What's the plan for tuning Geoff?

 

A lil off topic and you can pm me if you wanna but what kinda headlights are those. They gotta be leaps and bounds better than the stockers

 

They're headlights for a Chevy fullsize 88-98. There's a thread in the appearance section (thanks to Procharged94Lt1)

Once I get a few pulls in on a dyno with the tune it has now and drive it around town enough that I feel it's up to the drive, I'm taking it out to Buffalo for a better tune (late August). The guys I know out there will help me port the tune tables over to megasquirt when she gets that far, which will help immensely.

 

Who are you using in Buffalo area? I took my car to Kennedy's up in North Tonawanda..they took care of me pretty good with both cars I had there.

 

I've been up to Kennedy's before, but I know the guys at Innovative Tuning pretty well and they've been much more receptive to working with me than Kennedy's has been and their time/monetary demands have been *much* more reasonable.

 

You still dynoing today?

 

No, no ******* dyno at all.

The car has now decided it won't hold an alignment anymore (seriously, trying to roll up a pair of ramps with the front wheels throws the front drivers side wheel off by 10-15 degrees) because the A-arm on that side just won't torque down and stay in the K-member. I've dealt with this issue and BMR back and forth several times now and they keep sending me different shims and bushings and it's just not freaking working.

While it's at it, there's now something that smells like it's burning on the front driver's side of the engine (that wasnt there two days ago), but I can't find anything or see anything, and with the wheels way the heck out of whack (its bad, let me tell you) its getting hard just to get the stupid car back into the garage so I can get it up on stands (as ramps are out of the question).

Oh and on top of it, if I run the car for more than 2 minutes- when I stop and pop the hood, there is air/bubbles coming out from the top passenger side water pump bolt.

Oh and the poly locks are still getting loose, even though I torqued them to spec. I'm considering using locktite on them.

I'm going to set my car on fire. I just want to drive it under full boost ONCE this summer without something going wrong.

 

Stick with it Geoff!
