Congrats. Sounds like a 3 wheel ATC with no muffler. LOL. I'm sure it will run and sound much better when you have it tuned.

NOPR 07-13-08 02:24 PM

Sounds like major exhaust leaks! but it's still badass!

Viking War Hammer 07-13-08 02:26 PM

Not really major exhaust leaks, but just an open 5 inch downpipe.

The car sounds off, because it's not firing the trailing right now. I still need to figure that problem out.

Did you notice all the fuel dripping out of the downpipe ? :lol: My trailing aren't firing right now, need to figure that out. I'll get it figured out, this has been a wiring nightmare. I was just excited that it finally started. :wallbash:

Looking good, i'm jealous of the parts. I thought my Holley Blue was loud, but DAMN that pump is loud. Congrats on getting it fired, gives me inspiration to get my new rear end in my car...

that shoe is flying

blackdeath647 07-14-08 01:01 PM

5in down pipe!!! wtf lol isn't that a bit too much? it still sounds cool a bit too loud, but cool non the less.

Viking War Hammer 07-14-08 01:04 PM

The car currently has a 3 inch exhaust, I need to buy a 5 to 3 reducer so I can hook up the exhaust.

Too big ? Never.

Black nylon lines are pure porno!!!!!

I tell what, Nylon/Kevlar hoses are a dream to work with. Easy to build, no fraying, no pricked fingers, no shorting on 12V, light weight and Safe.

Very happy with them.

I have seen couple of cars with these types of flex lines and man they are beautiful to look @ and functional as well another key point non abrasive on other components

Viking War Hammer 07-17-08 07:34 PM

Yep, non abrasive against my knuckles :)

Congrats on getting her running. I have been following your build, and I am impressed on the unique setup. Can't wait to see that thing on the dyno!

xorex22 07-17-08 08:54 PM

i wish i still had my 1st egn

buldozr 07-18-08 09:28 AM

... ford 8.8", moser axles with a four link setup.... are you sure this isnt a drag car???

Ultimately, would you let your own mother drive that car in metropolitan traffic... your definition for street car is skewed friend.

Awesome build and when you get the suspension dialed in, find a Z06 and rape it for the christening ceremony :)

DC13B 07-18-08 10:41 AM

amazing build man

DivinDriver 07-18-08 11:40 AM

Inspiring.

TII lack of power
 
I know I'm a little late on this post but I figured better late than never. I came across a TII engine rebuild in a magazine quite a while back, the builder was from Langely B.C., Can. He did a TII rebuild that produced a reliable 700hp. I'll search my mags and try to find the article then I'll post his info( address and Phone #).
