Other projects on the go?
« on: March 05, 2011, 07:26:07 AM »
I'm interested to see what Othe projects you guys have going.
I have an 84 vw rabbit I'm in the middle of turboing. I had built a 1.8 stroker for it but got bored of it, so it's onto boost should be running 8psi for now untill I'm done the other motor which I will run at 15psi. So enough about that what do you guys have going on?

I'm also building an expedition trailer right now.

Is that the great big king sized mattress of a car that was there last summer? One motor under the hood, and one in the trunk?

That thing was awesome! Ive never seen a car that could park your TJ in the trunk and still close all the way!

I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...

Haha - that was a 76 T-Bird.  I pulled the motor from the front and back and junked it.  The Merc is about a 1.5' shorter.

That's like saying that the Titanic is 3 feet shorter than the Exxon Valdez. Ain't nobody gonna notice that small a difference on that big of a boat.

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

No jeep and I just sold my Polaris RZR.

Now my time will be spent getting the garage finished and ready for the next toy.

I'm a bit of a honda freak as I think I've mentioned in other posts lol. Anyways, I've been building a 1989 Crx for the past year or more. Full wiring tuck, B16A, manual conversion, all "honda rot" cut out and replaced with fresh metal, wingswest polyuerethane body kit, jdm rear spoiler, etc. I'll try to get a picture up  :)
