Update on my car...

BIG NIPPER · 08-05-2003, 06:04 PM

Well the clutch is the last thing that needs to be finished up before the motor is put back in the car. I am hoping within the week it can be dropped off. It will be a dual clutch. The dash as you can see is not yet completed. There will be a main tach (pictured) and 4 other smaller gauges. The Autronics stand alone is sorted up and will be wired. Along with the Nitrous on the intercooler, hard pipes for the intercooler, and a new test pipe. You can click below my sig for pictures of the turbo and other tidbits. Can't wait to get the beast on the road!

Polished Valve cover.

JE Forged Pistons

SPA Tach with Speedo

Carbon Fiber Cluster

Knife Edged Crank

Either I cant remember what it means or I've never heard that term before.

if you look at the edge of my crank you can see where it comes to a point. It is also balanced in the process.

like the high rev's also, give you more power band to play with.

quattrofrog · 08-05-2003, 06:14 PM

even at idle. Looks very cool, hope it all comes together as its meant to.

darkman · 08-05-2003, 06:15 PM

and also....do you need to keep it lubricated?

AND...how do you balance it?

BIG NIPPER · 08-05-2003, 06:24 PM

Definitely alot easier with the stand alone.

Definitely alot easier with the stand alone. __________________ The Beast Progress: 1.9L Forged Internals, Custom GT Turbo, Autronics Stand Alone, Twin Plate Clutch Turbo Pictures before Polishing Compressor Housing after Polishing Carbon Fiber Dash, JE pistons, SPA Tach, Knife Edged Crank, Polished Valve Cover Almost Done Custom Intercooler Custom Intercooler Installed w/ Piping

They take off material so the edges are "knife edged" and not round. __________________ The Beast Progress: 1.9L Forged Internals, Custom GT Turbo, Autronics Stand Alone, Twin Plate Clutch Turbo Pictures before Polishing Compressor Housing after Polishing Carbon Fiber Dash, JE pistons, SPA Tach, Knife Edged Crank, Polished Valve Cover Almost Done Custom Intercooler Custom Intercooler Installed w/ Piping
