I've got a good response from the community but have yet to find "the one". There have been a couple sub par complete cars on craigslist however that I'm considering trading my daily driver for simply because of the money I'd be saving in included forged internals, front mount etc... that would...
After selling my race car 2 years ago I've fallen out of the community and have since stopped freelancing. I'm getting the bug again and want to start getting involved... caveat, I no longer have a 10 second DSM to advertise myself with. It's time to build another one. I'm looking for a MINT...
If you're looking to build a longevity motor that can still handle a beating stick with a 2.0 and go with pistons that don't require much extra clearance beyond stock for thermal expansion. Any piston expands with heat however the metallurgy of some forged pistons requires more piston to wall...
First off this is not a boost leak issue, IAC issue or any of the obvious stall checks. The car runs perfect in park and neutral, as well as at cruise. The problem is sporadic, usually when the trans is cold in the morning. When shifting from park to drive or reverse the car will shutter like...
If this problem has came to a resolution would you mind sharing what went into fixing it? Was the pump the problem after all or was something else causing the low pressure? I just bought a flipper exhibiting the same symptoms. How much were repair costs?
Every shop is going to have it's good and bad reviews. During the 2 years I worked for Andre I came to find that most of the time peoples frustrations were manifested out of their own false ideas regarding the way something should have turned out or what the right way to do something is, or...
I've never quite understood why people who really want an AWD settle on FWD... That's like waking up hungry for biscuits and gravy and settling for a pop tart.
Pina Motorsports, like every other small performance shop, does not have their own machine shop. It costs too much money and takes too much time to purchase/ use machine equipment when you're only running a 1-2 man show. They, like almost every other shop, send motors out for machining. Out of...
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any machine shops in the area with a 4G63 torque plate that ISN'T Highlands East Machine in Renton. I'm looking to expand my options and don't feel like calling every shop in the book until I find one with a torque plate. I'm willing to drive as far North as...
What number do you guys use to get ahold of them? I've been dialing 1-800-321-1364. I almost feel like after the first call I made they see me on caller ID and say hell no I'm not answering that. (Joking). I might try and get back ahold of them one more time and see if they can't put a...
I did forget to mention that my pistons are stroker pistons. That is a critical point as the design is different. Were the rest of you running 2.0 or 2.3 pistons?
That would be awsome. I'm really curious to see what you find. Would you happen to have been the ones who built the motor and have an idea of the dates the pistons were purchased?
