Pink valve cover would've been hot lol

Very nice car man.

[daconkiftador]

daaayumn thats gonna be hell of a car.

Keep up the awesome work!

[crash n burn]

daaaaaaaaaayummmmm

its looking gorgeous. what intake mani are you running on that?

and what kind of break are you getting on parts since you work there?

[partymonster 975]

OMG awesome!!!!

[WDRacing]

First. Yes I am keeping the ka, am I to be critized for liking the silvia look more? Oh, I forgot I have the spec-r steering wheel to!

The valve cover isnt pink its candy red, and thats not the final valve cover. The camera distorts red slightly, the jack looks pink to, its dark *** red in person. Im still finishing up the podercoating on the one that is going in.

The car color will be a mercedes AMG black, silver metallic pearl. Extra coat of clear. We have a body shop on site.

There will be so much more going into the car.

I love that look and the pink VC....lol. In AMG black that car is going to be hot.

Yeah, I figured staying with the original color would be best.

Those manifolds...intake and exhaust will be for sale once AMS finish fabrication.

Ya, my question is... Why did you switch to a LOG style manifold? Just curious..

And, If you are selling that tube/header exhaust manifold, I assume it's T3? How much are you asking for it? I'm also curious about the intake manifold too, but mostly the exhaust.

^MSN too

[WDRacing]

I was wondering the same thing, the other mani is very well put together.

[rlvq35de]

suck

Have to finish fabricating cold pipe. Install radiator breather tank, gonna make it an overflow bottle instead of breather. And hook up catch can.

Then fire her up! Crank the boost to 20 and fly, hopefully more then a few miles!

[Craving4Boost]

[rlvq35de]

answered that question in above posts.

[onepuff]

the ams manifold is available now u know.

[rlvq35de]

i know, but i would like to start up car, drive it, get any bugs worked out, then upgrade again. only if im not happy hp wise.

the full race manifold divided runners is available to, however, i believe the AMS manifold is much nicer

[Chris@AMS]

Thanks Rob.

I got when ready for you whenever you get that thing going!

EDIT: whoa, that was weird, I post here and two seconds later, I am talking to you on the phone...

[Kaleo55]

Really nice looking set-up. Very similar to to mine. I have the IAP mani and it also has some fitment issues which they refuse to recognize. Downpipe needs to be hacked and rotated in order to clear the transmission. I may also upgrade to the AMS mani later too. I hoping to get my beast fired up this week. Good luck with your sweet ride. Maybe we can hook-up we're not too far apart.

I just welded the JGS bov on intercooler piping, a fitting for the PVC system on intake side. Now, i think Im gonna fire her up tomorrow. Just gotta

Wow looks very very nice, and similar to the build that i am planning

[rlvq35de]

got everything hooked up tonight, cranked her over, set fuel pressure, killed battery in a matter of seconds trying to get oil pressure. Will start her tomorrow.

[rlvq35de]

ok got oil pressure, tired to start her, wouldnt start. Took dist out and moved it a tooth. Starts now, but wont stay running. I dont think I set distributor to tdc at crank, gonna check that tomorrow morning. Will make some vids soon.
