Update #6

Posted 11-14-2010 at 04:40 PM by Kevin TSI

Hey guys I will post some pics up soon but i realized its been forever since I did an update. We got some ground control coilovers with agx struts. We got a 4 bolt rear and re did the entire rear subframe and rear end. We made solid mounts for it and blasted/ powdercoated, and painted it all. We are assembling the bottom end and getting some stuff fabbed up. PICS SOON!

Got a freshly decked, hot tanked and bored block
Eagle H beam rods New in box
Arias pistons 8.7:1 new in box
Checked and polished crank
Arp main studs
ACL bearings

Also we are runnuing a bumper exit exhaust but we are making a street exhaust also with my 3.75" HKS supra catback i picked up off craigslist.

Nothing to do with the car but new powdercoating oven!

After redoing it.

Preheating the block

Candy purple over chrome base.

	I like the solid "bushings" for the rear. The block looks sick, too! Nice to see someone do shit outside of the box for once.

	Everything looks great but I have to ask, Why purple?

	Thanks for all the comments guys! Keeps us motivated to see you guys enjoying the build. Just liked the purple theme. I am painting the exterior nissan midnight purple pearl. Should look pretty sweet.

Also if anyone has any questions about our setup at all feel free to ask. Pretty much everything is picked out we are just doing powdercoating and building roll bars/ cages to save for the remaining parts My build partner logan has also started building manifolds. So far we have made out pretty good though. $400 turbo, $700 for the entire bottom end, $600 for our drag manifold and 75mm throttle body. Trying to keep it on a budget while doing it right.

	Man I wish I had an oven like that. Looking good man! Keep it up!

	Yeah the oven is awesome. They are old pill dryers for drug companies. We actually have two. The insides are all stainless so they hold the heat in really well.

	What is the inside dimension of the oven? Also if one were to go about looking for one of those where would he look?
