I know i'm forgetting so much stuff, but this thing is so much fun to drive and starts and drives well everytime i want it too. Only thing i really need to do to it is get some kind of camshaft, the stock cam is pretty lame and cuts my power band out at like 4500 RPM. I'm guesstimating that i'm somewhere in the 300hp/400tqe range? much more after i cam the car and can run it to 6200 no problem.

Factory LSD
Factory Turbo
Factory Widebody

God i love these cars.

Hurry up and paint it since that primer absorbs moisture and the longer it stays primer, the more of a chance there is to get ruined.

Other than that it looks good.

These pipes were purchased from KDM performance. Hes a guy out in Cali that makes the stuff in batches and only a handful at a time. KDM is like one of three real Vendors i can think of. and only 2 of those 3 vendors are worth a shit to begin with.

http://www.kdmperformance.com/ shoot him an e-mail. All my intercooler pipes, my Intake pipe and my down pipe were from KDM. And damn looking at that web site they've grown alot. If your buddy has any questions tell him to get in touch with me.

As long as the primer is not a lacquer based problem moisture will not create an issue.
I was checking out your intake set up at the old skool meet. MPI...FTW. So is that fuel injection pro working out well? It looks like you did nice job prepping the bodywork.

Do you think with the routing of the pipes you can make a harp pipe kit with some 2.5in U bends, a good cutting tool, and a bumch of connectors? lol this is like one of 2 things stopping the car from running.... :ninja:

Its Urethane based. I didnt wanna try my luck with lacquer. and i was super lucky with the body. It was in excellent shape. But hey, i dont wanna hear nothing bout the paint job... it was my first time with a gun in my hand ever so i'm happy :) Yeah the FIP works pretty damn well, i need to get a working notebook to adjust my maps a bit though.

dude, winding the piping in these things is terrible. My exhaust is custom, intake was custom. But i had to search hard for someone who made the pipes.

I keep seeing HOT old starions/conquests in Walton Co area. There was a beautiful blue starion on Ozora rd, but now its gone. I use to see a red one w/o a front bumper a lot on Hwy 81, and I see a white one in the same area pretty regularly. Those cars are very cool, and always bring a smile to my face.
We DO need an 80s car meet sometime, it'd be a ton of old school fun!

Where have you been, man? We've had three HUGE old school Japanese car meets since June of this year. Each besting over 50 cars. But it's pen only to 85 and older models. We are starting them again coming in March so bring your punk ass out. Later, QD.

I met the owner of the Fiji blue - I think it's out getting the engine rebuilt since it had a rod knock, but it was multiport like this one is.

Is the red one on nice rims? If so, that one belongs to pure_insanity

The white one I may also know who owns it...

You see a lot of them in Walton County because there is a shop in Loganville, an enthusiast, that me, jahjah, and a few other locals will always go visit for any fabrication work ( the man is a freaking psycho when it comes to fabrication )
