almost running!
 

I have been chipping away at this this for the last couple months and am very close to firing it up. I have been distracted by work, sema, and next weeks super lap battle but hopefully in the next couple weeks i can fire it up.
I still need to receive 1200cc injectors, and oil lines. Everything else is pretty much labor. This weekend I am going to finish up fabbing up the IC piping if anyone in south reno wants to give me a hand. I am looking to borrow/buy a laptop that either has a pcmcia or express card slot. (hydra refuses serial to usb adaption) I really do not want to buy a brand new computer and will prolong things. I only need it to put a break in map and a few hundred miles later a day in minden dyno tuning. here are a couple pictures and an updated mod list. cheers http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/i...STI/sti1-1.jpghttp://i264.photobucket.com/albums/i...STI/sti2-1.jpg

last to come will be a E85 tune from local Jeremy Kappus on Sierra Sierra Mustang Dyno

Looks awesome! Sierra sierra is doing tunes on their dyno?

The guys over there are awesome but they are pretty exclusive. From what the team director told me they are not and Do not plan to be open to the public but do help jeremy out as a favor by letting use the dyno. I can refer anyone to Jeremy but would not rather speak on behalf of Jeremy or SSE.

Yeah of courses I understand, my dad knows the owner and has toured the shop a few times. Seem like really cool guys.

That's awesome! I hope to see it at a meet one day..

If it stays together long enough to get to the meet it i would love to come out. I have went through two built motors due to lack of experience and patients. I took a year break from working on it because i was so discouraged with the misfortune i was having. In the last 4 months i made a vow that i would not turn on the car until everything i wanted/needed was on the car properly with a tuner/mechanic who checked over the car. I can only express to people who are entertaining the idea of building a motor to take there time and do things by the book.
