DriftBoy07's Build Thread

[mRodiek]

Not perfect, but pretty damn good. Ive weighed the pros and cons and Im pretty sure Ill be ok. My summer job is awesome and like I said it will provide me with the money if I need in case my GTP doesnt sell asap [God forbid]. So I dont consider it a Credit Card build, just a temporary usage.

[mRodiek]

P.S. the engine I payed for with money I saved up, and everything after my clutch has been credit card so its not all credit

[tEknoS13]

Understood.

Come on man we need updates with LOTS of pics!

[mRodiek]

lol This weekend, Im working all day tomorrow and then out for the night so itll have to wait til after the gym saturday. Then I have to help finish puting together my Dads kitchen, THEN its all updates and Ill have my friends take ****load of pics

I just want to make sure I am doing everything 110% correct before I put it all together, hence all the questions in WC, Teks threads-->you guys rule!!

[tEknoS13]

I'm flattered j.k.

[White Comet]

always happy to help

[95silvia14]

Hey man just giving you the heads up you want to take the teflon off of the an side of those fittings other wise its going to leak, its ok for the part going in to the turbo just not the side that connects to the line

[mRodiek]

Why would it leak? I thought it was supposed to help seal it

[95silvia14]

it has something to deal with the flairing of the end the way its designed we were taught that in high performance engine building i didnt belive it to untill i tested it and lol and behold the thing leaked with the teflon on there

[lilpiton]

Damn dude you dream about your car too

i think we all do haha. very nice build you got there keep us posted, and we want pix!!!

[mRodiek]

You beat me to it...... I was just getting ready to tell him the same thing

[mRodiek]

Thanks for the heads up yall.

Got my SBLs and they are the wrong ones...AGAIN Theyre too damn big so Im emailing SBL to get the rightt ones.

[mRodiek]

Well played around with the bulbs and i got them squeezed in but Im still not sure if their right...anyone else had superbrightleds.com bulbs?

[mRodiek]

ISIS turbo elbow blows ***. Didnt come with the bolts required to bolt it to the turbo, the holes where the bolts go are huge in comparison to the threads in the turbo! WTF!!! To make things worse I have no skinny O2 sensor adapter which i paid $15 for.

[mRodiek]

So I am trying to think of a creative idea for a killswitch, and I saw somewhere you can use a password on a keypad-anyone know anything about this?

Broadfield I hear your are an electronics wiz--any ideas?

[Broadfield]

Now when you say "kill switch", do you mean the true definition...... a switch that kills all power to the car? Like a NHRA approved switch that you would need at a track?

Or do you mean a "hidden" switch or something that acts as a switch that you need to activate in order to start the car?

[mRodiek]

Well I orginally thought fuel cutoff would work, but all power would be cool as well, it is going to be my DD for a while so I dont want it out in the open. But I really like the keypad password idea

[sr20deTsomeday118]

so when are u looking to be done with this? every chicago area person is pretty much watching this thread as it progresses and it would be cool to have a meet when your finished just an idea

[mRodiek]

Thanks! lol Theres some motivation for me to get my *** movin, it will be in the car next month an running in April. On the street in May, just in time for summer and every car show I can get to lol

I proposed a meet earlier, like a BBQ kinda thing where we can BS bout cars or w/e or even meet at like a restaurant. I went to a "car show" outisde a small food place and they gave us permission to use their parking lot as long as people were buying food, and theyd even bring it out to us!

Glad to see some more Chicagoans are on here! Check out Teknos build too, hes got some work goin on

You didn't really answer my question. Do you want a "kill" switch so if you are at a track and have a problem an official can kill the motor? Or do you want a "switch", or something that acts like a switch, to prevent someone from starting the car?

Edit: ..... and I would definitely be down for a nice sized Chicago meet this summer.

[mRodiek]

Sorry I didnt clarify-I dont want anyone to steal my car lol so I want a switch that will stop the starting of the car.

Suhweet, if you 2 are down + lilpiton + teknos we have 5 peepz we are building an army bahaha

[Broadfield]

You can do all sorts of cool things.... pretty much anything you can dream up. You could do a hidden magnetic switch. So one side of the magnetic switch you would hide behind something: dashboard, panel, carpet etc. You would then either hold the other side of the magnetic switch over the hidden spot while cranking with the key. Basically it would be a IGN kill. So the ignition wire would not be a closed circuit unless the magnetic switch was closed. Or you could use a latching relay along with the magnetic switch so you could simply swipe the magnet over the hidden area and you wouldn't have to hold it there while cranking. This way you could have the magnetic switch on your key chain and you could easily make the swipe before putting the key into the ignition cylinder.

You could also do basic things like turning on the parking lights before you can start it, turn signal, brake, radio(if aftermarket), you have to have the door open etc. You could even make it so you have to activate a combination of these things.

Hmmm ideas spawning! If I were to use the magnetic strip idea would ANY type of magnet work? So for example would someone be able to take a magnet and swipe it all over my car while cranking it & steal her?

How would I go about setting these up? Any threads on it..?
