I want to ride in this thing one day. I don't even know you and this has been my favorite local car ever since I heard about it.

Haha, thanks guys. I really hope it can lay down some decent numbers. I'll be heading to the dyno in a week or two here. I've got a few small bugs to sort out. The biggest of them are my alignment, and a wastegate issue. I'm having trouble with boost creep I'm going to try a few things that hopefully correct this issue.

I expect no numbers. Its possible though to make anywhere from 4 to 6.

Brian, text me I think I'll be free from 2-4 ish I know that's not much time, but if your engine/trans is ready it doesn't take many minutes to drop it in and bolt it down.

My wonderful misaligned body panels... I'll tweak them more when I feel like it, for the moment it doesn't bother me much.

Do you have a side shot with those wheels? Car looks really clean (even with the goofed up nose). I think I'm waaaaaaaay too OCD to have it like that for 10min unless I really had to have the car together to drive it. :P

Tuner was out with me for 4 hours on Saturday doing road tuning. The car is really running great. I should be okay according to my wideband and him. I'm going Wednesday morning to have my tires aligned at sears in Niles.

Tom I'll go take one for you. About the panels they are an ABSOLUTE bitch to line up properly. The car was involved in a minor accident over 3 years ago, the body shop DID NOT straighten the chassis 100% proper. One side is off about 1/4-1/2" on the front, it needs to be redone, however that costs $$$$.

I bet, the grey skies KILL my paint :(

Those wheels are badass! Those off an R32 or something? The whole thing is just really clean.

Sucks that it was wrecked before though. Did you know about it before you had it painted? Although I'm guilty of spending far too much $$$$ on lackluster starting points, I would have made sure that thing was true as hell if I was going to invest in the RB swap and the latter. I guess it can still be sorted, it just seems like it'd be stunning example otherwise. :thumbsup:

Yeah R33 GTR wheels, they are 17x9's all around.

I plan to keep the car so one day I will have it properly straightened out, and get the bay re-painted nicely. I shall see.

Right now my worries are my boost creeping. I'm going to do some data logging tomorrow or Wednesday to see exactly what the wastegate is doing vs RPM. Its hard to watch any gauge besides a/f's and the street while WOT. It just screams up top.

thanks for the complements guys.

Looks sweet. I hope to run with you so you can tear my stock internal boosted pos apart. Do you have a wrx as well? I see one in the first pic.
