Man it has been a journey since those posts back in 2006. I got my car back on the road just recently and felt like posting about it, so here it goes.
This is how she started back in 2005.
Since then, I will admit she has done her fair share of sitting and waiting for me to get the desire to give her some attention.
2005 - Threw a rod due to my lack of knowledge that vehicles require oil to run. :nono: Had a new/used motor put in only to find out the turbo was also bad. I replaced it with a local shops built CT26, This is the turbo pictured above when i blew it up.
2006 - Replaced the Blown CT26 with a SP61gt, ran low boost and hardly drove the car. During this time I was a painter at a body shop and was given a free piant job from PPG. Thats when this happened (Over the period of 2 years).
2008 - The car was all done, painted and put back together. It was back on the road for a short time until I mistakenly turned up the boost on the SP61gt, and what do you know. BHG. At this point I once again let the car sit. I had purchased a 2005 Legacy gt and over the next 2 years built it into 300 whp 350 tq daily driver.
2010 - I had bought a 1992 supra with rod knock. Had a great shadow grey interior and many bits and parts to use on my supra. This motivated me to get to work on mine and get this all swapped over.
old motor:
2012/13 -
New motor that I pulled, went through, and rolled new bearings in.
2013 -
On the road again!
And so far, thats it! I am going to try and keep adding to this as the days go by. Thanks for looking!
Edit:OOps, some of the pictures are sideways. ill fix it later.
