Baby steps. Might not get it fired up this weekend but we're making a lot of progress.

Yeah I'm incredibly grateful and excited to get to work this weekend with Clint. I'm heading to buy the celebratory booze, to be opened when we fire her up, right after I leave work today in about 20 minutes.

Been slacking off. I'll check that out, tomorrow. I did get the short throw shifter installed with the assistance of one of my buddies. Speaking of tomorrow. THIS WEEKEND THE ENGINE GOES IN. @phate has graciously offered his expertise to get the engine in and the speed back to being road...

Put in an order for some lights from Terlizzi Auto Concepts, so looking forward to that, as well. I doubt those are going to show up before the car gets running again, so luckily I have a spare pair of headlights (that maybe work?) from my parts car.

Engine picked up on my birthday (last Thursday). The guy that was helping me, ended up having to pull out of the weekend help for work. Forum member offered to help get this guy in the car and get the JB-Welded 6 back up and running. (I don't think I ever touched on this, but there is a bit of...

Painting is hard. It's not perfect by any means, but I'm happy with it. More work to do tomorrow.

Fun fact, for the exactly 0 people who will probably do this, if you need to block off your brake booster to sand off surface rust, a traditional 1-5/8th > 1-3/4" rubber bathtub stopper will absolutely fit perfectly.

Subframe and some other items freshly sandblasted.

In hindsight, I'd have done this. But I already grabbed a second TCase. If I ever have to do it again, I'll keep that in mind.

Christmas quickly turned into the naughty list when I opened up my transfer case

Early Christmas present to myself showed up in the mail todayyyyy

Pulled the subframe sanded and grinded the bay to remove all the rust. Put down a coat of rust remover/treatment and two coats of Eastwood epoxy primer. I've got an idea for what color I'm gonna paint and I'm gonna blatantly assume it'll annoy people but I don't care because it'll bring me joy...

Welcome!

DTP doesn't make custom pipes for the stock flange turbos. I'll probably just end up going to a shop in town to get something fabbed up if I don't like the sound of the dump tube going under the car. I have no desire to run a dump tube through my hood.

I have purchased the turbo, but I'm not opposed to selling it and buying a different one. Might make more sense to get a different turbo and work with DTP to get a custom downpipe. If I got a PTE turbo what all would I be looking at? (I'm asking that as I start to do my own research)

I kinda have a penchant for overkill. Honestly, I went BNRS5 because I didn't know any better. It's a Damond block. I've been going back and forth on it, tbh. Power goals sit between 550-650, and I wanted to do a build where I didn't have to worry about doing aux fueling. At least not at...

Is it better to upgrade to the Steeda or replace the Racing Beat with something else?

Rey custom made them from the M6 for a short period of time. I happened to see him post it when he made them. Since I'm not going to be putting a roll-cage in it, I don't believe I'll be able to autocross/track the car. That being said. If the racing beat FSB is so stiff that it is going to...

Bought the speed last August. I was so excited. Then randomly I started getting overboost issues nonstop, which is super great when you drive on the highway every day. It got to the point where I'd overboost just leaving my driveway and driving 17mph in my neighborhood. So... After digging into...

Better late than never to get into the Speed 6 game. I'm Chris. I'm 38, live in the Indy region of Indiana, work for Toyota and love this stupid money pit. Hoping to make some new speed friends, and maybe find some like-minded hopeless romantics for Speeds in my general region.
