Jo3f1sh's semi-build...

[Jo3f1sh]

Small update:

The car is out, but mssing a few trim pieces. Once it's completely done, i'll be taking pics.

On another note, i just experienced what a boost leak feels like on this thing. OMG. I lost a clamp on the intake side of the intecooler and i almost thought i had just thrown a rod. I managed to limp it to a friends house, but it seriously scared me...On my Integra, all that would happen if i had a leak is i just had no boost...but this thing would barely idle...is that common?

I think Integras, and most Hondas, are MAP based systems like the 1JZ. AFM'd cars don't like boost leaks and will run horribly.

You could drive a 1J around without any of the IC pipes on.

Did you pull the engine and the interior when you did the color change?

That's what i figured as soon as i posted that. 5 min. fix.

csnow: Sure didn't. We pulled a few trim pieces off, but overall, everything stayed. And you can't tell the difference. It's really amazing.

Small teaser shot...more to come.

I see nothing that I don't like in that picture.

 

[TurboFreak]

Gorgeous.... Lol to those people giving you hard time about ditching the teal :icon_razz

Black forever.... Great wheels too!

 

[OneJoeZee]

For realz. Looks better in black.

The naysayers can cram it up their cramhole.

 

[Jo3f1sh]

Lol...thanks guys. I'm waiting on a better camera to do a full shoot with.

Zavs, i actually took it out to the Pioneer/360 meet last night. It was kind of damp, but it was alright. And I think these wheels make the car. Matt's kicking himself in in the ass right now for not getting his car together...lol

i bet it feels great to have a freshly painted car.

 

[Jo3f1sh]

Sure does...but not so great now that i think i hear rod knock on this tired motor...:nono:

It feels like i'm just digging a hole deeper and deeper with this thing.

Welcome to my world. It never gets better, you only get used to it :icon_bigg

 

[Jo3f1sh]

so is this gonna be the latest 1JZ swapped MKIII in DFW?

probably 2JZ if it turns out to be more than just low idle oil pressure in the 7M...if i'm going to drop some mad cash in a motor, might as well right?

 

[Jo3f1sh]

Took a few more today:

There are no good places to shoot at in this town...

 

[TurboFreak]

OMG that is beautiful. Congrats on having an awesome example of a supra.

Right click, save as....
