Well looks like its been a while since I updated this..... Good news is work has been going down last few months. I was able to get it to NC this year but clutch issues stop us from breaking the current vitara power record. Anyways onto the pic's!
Back in Dec when I ran the car I notice the suspension was so warn out and needed to be replace. I tore out all of the suspension to change the bushings at the start of June. Time was limited since I had to be in NC on the 21st of June.
All of the suspension was warn, beat, dirty, greasy, and grimy I cant even recall the amount of time it took to clean everything up....
You cant beat all new bushings all around. I was able to replace all of it!
I like this pic as you can clearly see what needs to be done for the home made B2D
Lil JB weld and she would be as good as new....
While I had the rear cross member out I saw how few spot welds where used so I beef it up some.
A few more shots of the OE 200+k RCA bushings.....
With the trans reinstalled and all the suspension bolted up it was time for her to come out of the dusty corner.
Time for a wash!
I thought this was funny.... A friend forgot to install 4 of these lil guys and well pics speak for them selfs.
Before I left to NC I need an aliment BAD, she was all over the road as I flat land towed it to a friend garage.
As I arrived at Redline I caught JD working on a gaybar.....
This thing was the size of half my crx haha but it look so badass!
Hotel was badass
One of the single most badass pic's of the trip! 15 stacks of ribs, lil moonshine, beer, and more liquor!
Whats a dyno day with out RIBS!
The man Robb hard at work making some tasty, TASTY RIBS!
Ron was not plastered at this point....SHOCKING
Mustered bbq sauce which at first sounded nasty to me but it ended up being super tasty as well.
Fowee was up on the dyno. Man this car is SOOOOO clean, no rust at all. Also for making half the power its such a badass car with a power band that instantly puts you into the seat.
Long lost brothers hahaha
You can never have enough hotwheels!
By this time Bubba had showed up with some pulled pork he smoke for something like 12 hours. If you never had some Bubba smoke meat you should be ashamed of yourself.
Some local and his M5, it made close to 450hp
I am sure NO one has ever seen this in a honda ecu. JD wired in a solid state relate to trigger the firing and closing of the Nitrous through the ecu
Jason shop car, man did I want a ride!
Strip down but had clutch issues once we crank the boost to kill... clutch gave up before we got to far.
No one tell Jason but I almost took his dog, what a great pit!
VG33 power Rx7 so nice and clean. It made something like 550hp
Getting gas before leaving NC
Tow bar FTW
So some of you know I lost the fuel pump on my yukon once I hit D.C. it died 1 mile past the pentagon. I was able to get the cars off the highway but ended up having to tow them to the other side of town to get the pump changed. What a pain that was, between the tow, labor, and fuel pump it was a $800 day.......
Damn tank was FULL, the tank is about 6' long and 2' wide......... The guy didnt release how much gas was in the tank until he took a shower in gas....
Anyways thats it for pic's, onto the vids!
Despite all the issues I ran into along the way it was a great trip. I just want to thank everyone that was around and gave a helping hand. From my friends in NJ that help when I was down to the wire to all the guys in NC and back!
