Glad i was able to fix u up and for WAY cheaper than fastenal! Thats a pretty damn cool trophy for most miles! I must say i wasnt expecting to read about the damage your truck received on the trip back.......it made me sick to see the pics. I know you will fix it back up......just sucks to see after all the looooooong hours you have in the truck. If you need anything Chris just hit me up man.well, nobody has checked in in awhile, but i guess ill post up pics..
first off, heres the turbo mounted with the hardware that Travis(97civicman) hooked me up with!
...............
well, i hope i made u guys proud. i took home a couple of trophies! i got 2nd place in the under construction category, and also won by a landslide on furthest distance traveled!
ah, its just metal. anything metal can be fixed, and thats y i like working with it!
i still cant decide if i want to rebuild the engine myself or pay a pro. im really into doing things myself, but i want it done once and done right! i will have plenty of time to think about it while im saving moneyzzzz!
thanks Travis!
my wife was making fun of me after we got home from denver. i have been known to throw some pretty bad hissy fits, and needless to say, coming back from denver was one of these times!
i was so mad watching the bed smash the trailer and windows down on the mazda in the snow with bare metal just waiting for rust to set in!
its all fixable though, but i really hate doing things twice!
I hate doing things twice, & three times, lol!
get it rebuilt professionally... those motors dont leave much room for error.
ya, but everytime i do something two or three times on this truck, i learn from it and it ends up being better and better!
ya, i have been looking at Atkins Rotary and Banzai as well as Rotary Performance and Pineapple Racing to do the rebuild and a streetport for me!
I AM NOW TAKING DONATIONS FOR AN ENGINE REBUILD!(seriously, its tax deductable!)
Pineapple Racing has done some amazing work from what i hear! they have been doing some very innovative things in the spinning triangle world from what i hear... i say look into them.
Any updates Chris!?!? Btw how are you and your family doing?
x2. If you haven't messed with one of these things internally then you need to leave it for the rotary pros. These things aren't like anything else and they are extremely fickle.
already on it. been doing lots of research..
no updates. damn holidays lol.
trying to save money sucks. im such an impulse buyer, im not good at saving. i like to just buy something and figure out how to pay for it, but this is a different ballgame!
and the family is good! thanks for asking Travis! s**t is just so f**king hectic right now. it sucks.
started hitting the gym agaian trying to get my bodybuilding status back again, but its harder as u get older and eat like s**t and cant afford supplements cuz u have a truck habit! haha
thanks tony! long time no see on CC!
as ive heard! thanks for the warning
i could update a lot quicker if u guys would start sending me an engine rebuild fund....
times r tough...
just save save save man! get it built correctly the first time. it may cost a lot, but its worth it when they run correctly.
^this
Lol. Money has been tight. They cut our hours at work, so i went out and got a new job!
Currently in transition period, but money should be flowing by about double what i was making before.
So hopefully parts start rollin in and i can get busy in the garage again!
I have been talking with Greyson about getting some Votionspeed products for this truck.
Ive been lax on that, but i will get the ball rolling soon enough!
Basically, fuçk winter! I have no motivation...
