[SeverX13]

got a nice little update for you guys. we pulled the celica engine about 30 minutes ago got everything jsut about ready to go on the stand. it would have been on the stand but the bolts from the tranny were to short for the stand. tomorrow i will have some damage pics lol. then we will go from there.

PICCCCSSSS!!!!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?

brent, i finally got to play with the FIC software the other day in steffs car.
i definetly prefer the emanage ultimate over it, the ultimate has alot of little bells and wistles that the fic dont.
it has a couple cool features, but lacks editing features and compensation maps ect that make the ultimate better for me.

sounds sick brent,this thing should run strong when its done!!

ok, so Brent KIIIIINDA lied to you all. LOL We finally got his short block together less the water pump and oil pan on. Went together SOOO nicely. New bearings, and rings and one rod. As soon as the ARP headstuds get here the rest of the engine will be put together and get dropped back in the car. Then we can start setting up his oil relocation and oil cooler setup, along with a few other minor adjustments. Keep the comments coming guys, this car is gonna be a wicked SOB when shes done!

Any real changes to the setup? Or are all the changes coming when Brent has time to build the motor at school?

No big changes yet. We are revamping his oil setup slightly with the oil cooler and whatnot. But yes, the BIG changes will be when he gets the 98+ block and can really start BUILDING a motor!

YES, THANK YOU MANNY!!!!! We got that Canton Racing adapter ordered last night and I think thats the last of the vital parts that we still needed. The rest of the stuff is like heat wrap and whatnot.

Brent called Titan today to find out where his parts were, and they called ARP and apparently ARP had those headstuds backordered, and they are supposed to be shipped out today, or tomorrow....crosses fingers.

[SeverX13]

yeaaa it would have been nice to get a fukcing email telling me they were backordered. i was living on hopes and dreams for the past 2 weeks lol.

Day 2 - "Itll be here Friday"
Day 6 - "I should be here today or tomorrow"
Day 9 - " its definatly gonna be here tomorrow"
Day 12 - "My fukcing headstuds better be here tomorrow!"
Day 16 - "your Item has been backordered"
Day 17 (current) - "Itll be here friday" (hmmm. sound familiar??)


yup, hopes and dreams lol. ask cam that is exactly how it went down.
