Am I the only one who has a Truck as a Project Vehicle as well lol

Looking good! When is that thing going to finaly be ready?

When Chuck Norris visits and graces us with his presence and roundhouse kicks us all in the face, then points at my car and yell "PERFECTO!" which results in my car looking like it just rolled off the showroom floor back in '91 but with the 1JZ in place of the 7M.

Axel - That's a nice looking Teggy. I wouldn't mind owning one if it wasn't for the fact that they're a pretty hot item here in town.

Thanks NgoFcukinWay. The last year of the Integra. I was lucky to get my hands on it.. It's hard to find one that's not ragged out and not a million miles on it. I try to keep it clean.

[NgoFcukinWay]

Thats what I want. But in white

There's a white one with a 1JZ here in town for sale for $4500 on craigslist. I wouldn't pay that much though considering who owned it before and how he mistreated the car.

bump any body else have any other projects

This is My ST205 WRC project.

This is my 1995 Celica St with Gen2 3sgte swap with E153 in it. Current mods are 3" turbo back exhaust, ct20b, FCD, Water Injection, 16 PSI, Battery relocation, 3" Intake, dropped 1.5 inches all around, 17" rims. The hood and lip went onto my GF's car, (long story, look at supershannon77's build thread for all the details) It will now have the complete front end off my WRC clip


These are the pics of the clip




Tear down begins




I had more pics of the progress but, I messed that up some how......So I will work on getting more. My good friend Manny came down and Put all the new gaskets on, and put it all back together. The motor is now up at his place in mass getting put back in, then getting painted. The New mods list is GEN3 with E153 LSD tranny , FCD, 3" turbo back, possibly 4" intake (still debating), ct20b (obviously), ATS adjustable Cam gears, Water Injection and 21psi. 300+ wheel hp here we come.

93 Trans Am -- This is a LONG term project. Currently have a $14K 383 stroker on a stand in the garage, have a $1500 PT76GTS in my pantry, a $2K FAST XFI Computer, and a whole host of other parts. Have approximately $20K in parts laying around for it. Still waiting on the hot parts for the turbo, and some other misc, and it'll all go together. Looking for 800+ RWHP and single second timeslips when it's done, full weight pump gas car.


My own custom fuel rails:


99 Corvette -- THis was NOT supposed to be a project right now, but after some spirited driving about 2 weeks ago now and a little bit of inattention on my part, I kissed the rev limiter pretty hard and after correcting that action proceeded to rip the camshaft gear out of the camshaft. Resulting damages included custom valve reliefs on every piston, custom bent pushrods, and custom vent valves. Had a set of ported heads and a Lingenfelter Turbo Camshaft on standby, but still have to cough up the dough for a Forged LS3 shortblock (377 CID, 4.070 bore 3.622 stroke, GREAT bore to stroke ratio), fuel system, misc stuff, and installation since I'm paying a buddy to do it as this happened 350 miles from home.


Piston Damage on the worst cylinder:

Worst bent valve:

Worst Pushrod (Not Me)

Missing cam gear and bolts:


Nice part?? This one should be completely streetable and lay down in the 700-750 RWHP range without batting an eye with the twin turbo's. Downside is that it's costing me $8K right now, which I really don't have but refuse to let this one sit on jackstands like the Trans Am.

Nice cars, those are some SERIOUS big boy toys. Its not to often that you hear 700hp, and very street able in the same sentence....gotta love v8's. Its builds like this that make me miss my camaro, best of luck with your builds.....looking good so far.

[GriffGirl]

When I think to myself, "Self? 700 bhp," I feel kind of funny inside and I get butterflies. Hell, even 150 bhp makes me feel kinda wistful...

THis is my s14 that ive been working on for about a full year now. Picked it up from a great friend of mine (actually a great douchebag) who literally let this car sit in a parking for about 3 years. Umm, about the pics, this is all i have, considering i am bad at remembering to take pics of the progres as i went along, and what all i have are some cell phone camera pics of the engine going in, and after install.

Anywho, after buying the car, i knew it needed some work done such as the engine wiring needed to be re-wired, replacement of suspension componets and all. There was a list i wrote up, but all in all it was a good car. My plans for it, are pretty simple. Just a nice street machine that puts down decent power, and can hold its own for the local auto-x in town, and maybe some track days. The engine is an sr20 blacktop, and the only work ive been able to get done on it, is the engine swap itself, wiring the ECU to the car, and replace the springs/struts with tein dampners, and replace some worn bushings. Future progress involves rust-proofing the underbody, getting the car started, adn finishing up the suspension work i have to do...

I wanted it all done by end of this summer, but right now, im still stationed over in korea, AND, i am PCS'n over back to okinawa end of this year, so this poor car is sitting in storage...oh wells..

1997 GSXR 750






Now I have full leather pants with pads, a new red leather jacket, and riding boots. Much safer then my last set up with jeans and skate shoes.

0-60 in 3.2 6th gear maxed should get me to 180mph, but I haven't tried, just hit 147 and stopped... too young to die.

because 147 on roads are safe.

^ I saw no mention of doing this on a road. All he said is that he HAS gotten it up to 147. Could be on a track, could be on the salt flats for all we know. Nice bike man.

Thanks guys. She's my pride and joy. Crappy part is tuning the carbs to match the exhaust, I still can't get them dialed in correctly :-/

My inexpensive project:

Gets me back and forth to work (the whopping 2 mile round trip commute). I don't even start the WRX up anymore during the week. Saves me tons of money on gas (fill up once a month!!) and thus - I save more money to put back into it.

Nice bike Matt...I wanna get a fixie myself sometime soon.

Here's my current project:



Currently it's motorless, awaiting a H2B swap which is in the works.

[95CelicaST]

I love the simplicity of a fixie over a geared bike. No cables, no brakes, nothing.


Nice wheels When do I get to see it? Is it here, or across the mountains?

[x_itchy_b_x]

Almost there!

[Axel04]

I would like to keep this alive!! Anyone else?
