Because building a GT4 is clearly not enough work... I have a race car - not hard core performance rally like Steve... but we have been known to pull down a trophy.... Here is a very high level of the car's progression since 2009. I took this year (2013) off as I was completely burnt out and broke... 2014... I cannot wait!
        Whelp.... if there is some interest, I can keep posting some photos and progress as we work toward April 2014 @ Gingeman Raceway... This post has been edited by qatar11: May 25, 2015 - 8:17 AM -------------------- -Mike

this is going to sound stupid so bear with me, i know there is a reason, but im not seeing it..
why are the pistons and rods going to the machine shop after the fact, shouldnt they go at the same time as the blocks and cranks.. Are they just going to be cleaned, or do they balance them and smooth? lol, just learning... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

Are they just going to be cleaned, or do they balance them and smooth? lol, just learning... Its not a stupid question. The pistons and rods are going to get dunked / cleaned... the rods will then get a hone.... they could have gone to the machine shop all at once... I just so happen to be doing things in groups to space out the expense. Building an engine isn't exactly economical.... building three is... well... I'm starting to like the taste of chicken ramen. -------------------- -Mike
