TitaniumTT's I hope I make it to DGRR '09 Build

^ All of this is true. So true.


Just have to get your car undercoated and cleaned up huh? Couldnt just let my FC be the cleanest one there could ya? Bah!

You knew the trans thing would be too good to be true at first anyway, but I agree - hacking it and slapping in a single trans instead of mucking around with all the different parts sounds easiest!

Oh and NM that T2 LSX dealy... seriously, if we manage to have three super clean FCs done in time (mine is a stretch, but we'll see) people won't know what to do with themselves. FD guys are going to have kittens when FCs get all the attention

This is most likely going to become a full time venture for myself and a very dear friend of mine. We're hoping to have an LLC in place by 1/1/10. It's funny because I have and Econ and Finance degree and ~5 yrs experience as an RIAA and financial planner and he's a practicing tax attorney, so there will be 4 degrees between two guys building and racing cars professionally but we're both sick of the rat race and want something more enjoyable.

Hell no! I've got some other little goodies in store for the girl as well........ things that I'm not telling anyone about till I show up Just to rub it in too I'm gonna jack her up and put a mirror on the ground so everyone can see

I knew it was too good to be true but I don't understand why Aisin would manufacture two different mainshafts and countershafts when one would do by adjusting the length of the extension housing Pisses me off that I spent $650 on that trans and the only two parts that I'll probably use from it are the shifter and the cap. I dunno, I need to rebuild and assemble the trans sans extension housing and bring it back to Dave and get his thoughts on it. Pisses me off though. Oh well, it'll be worth it when it's all done and maybe I can make some coin back by selling some parts off to the Miata guys who blow the trans and just rebuild without addressing the problem.

The TII LSX will be uber clean IFF we can get her done in time - it's doubtful but possible. Clean as in no wires will be seen under the hood, most of the fuel/coolant lines will be hidden, we're doing some custom shit to the rad/oilcooler mounting, it'll be bitching for sure. The FB will be of the same caliber in terms of clean. My goal is to have that car take home Best FB and I REALLY want her parked next to me. Don't know what we're going to do about the boinger powered TII though.......... this is a ROTARY RALLY maybe shove her off in the corner with my auto-x trailer and Cherokee and maybe let her run the Dragon. I'm actually excited about that car though, I just wish there was more custom fab that we could do to it but oh well.

But yeah, I'd love to see some of the guys reactions to the cars I want to bring.

Dude, you totally "leaked" a little

Oh, did I mention I forgot all about the tranny fluid so when I pulled the engine/trans the entire case ended up all over the floor? now I have to effing lay in it when I'm under the car because I sure as hell am not putting the car down, rolling it out of the garage, then sweeping all of the oil dri up..... so much for that clean garage floor.

If you guys get something together in 2010, you'll have my business for sure I want that front strut bar / brace combo!

That'll def be an option, but I'm going to need your car in my shop for that. I'm running the FD waterpump which I believe moves the alt forward. I would like to get the thing behind the alt.... I had to modify (heat and beat the living shit out of) the support braces for the hood to get it to clear.

Ah that blows man.... find a blown driveshaft and cut the yoke off. Whenever you remove the driveshaft, insert the buttplug and that'll never happen again.... SOOOO NICE. Although I actually got a smaller plastic plug with the FE trans

I didn't leak the BIG things that I'm doing though. This is why you need to come to DGRR, and see AJ's car as well. She'll be .......... different

[EJayCe996]

Well I got a ways to go til then... maybe I'll be at 60% of how I want the car by then. Maybe presentable... or maybe a blazing mess....
