Well, I still got the Titan... (knock on wood)... I will be somewhere, sometime... I'm actually closer than I thought. Started assembly of the engine and found my clearance to be off a good bit on the mains. I think it was because there was oil under the bearings. Gotta take em back out clean and remeasure. The journals measured fine, and they are ACL bearings, so I trust their size spec. supposed to have .0008-.0020" of clearance. I only had .0002... should make some awesome oil pressure, but I don't like the thought of any oil starving on the mains...
 
:D hope to see you when its hot, and btw no a/c sucks really bad rofl.
 
I don't think the Elgin drag strip would be a good place to meet. First, they only run on Friday and I went there the other day, and they have really been slack on track maintenance. Maybe Darlington. Actually, if it is only gonna be me and Tigerhorns meeting up, it might be better to meet at Jackson.

So, it turns out I can't read!!!!! The clearances are perfect on the crank... I thought that I was supposed to have 0.008" of clearance, and I only got 0.001". Turns out, I needed 0.0008"- 0.002" of clearance. So, I am almost perfect!!! This makes Timmy a very happy boy!
 
LOL congrats, and jackson sounds fun. I'm hoping when the scheduel gets maybe tuesday i have thursday off
 
Sounds great. I have a rsr exhaust. Who ever the hell they are. Lol. I want to eventually go Borla.

The man I bought my block and internals from had a ebay 3", but cut the muffler off and added a flowmaster. It sounded AMAZING!!! Had a nice low rumble to it. That is now my plan for the TSi...
 
Awesome. I didn't realize that my car didn't sound as good as I would like it to until a buddy of mine came out to the track with me with his '08 Civic with GReddy exhaust.

Well looks like i'm going to be running the car this sunday at jackson. Looking for a Valve Cover right now, mine has a crack in it ; ;
 
I probably won't have my car ready by the 18th. TRE is still working on my trans. Fate seems against it being a quick job. Lighting struck TRE's shop and fried the power supply on one of the CNC machines slowing things down for the shop. Hopefully my trans will get in the mail Thursday but I'm not holding my breath.

I don't know what I am going to do about a transmission in my car. I want AWD. I want to either find a gsx or do a AWD conversion in my spyder. If all that fails. I'm gonna go through Shep to get a rebuilt fwd trans.

So Tigerhorns, when is the best day to go up to Jackson? Do they have a test and tune/ grudge day?

Thursday at night like 5-10 is test, and tune. Sunday is grudge racing from 12-5. I gotta see if i can get my buddy to hit the track down here with me this sunday. I needa get this car tuned real good.
 
Nah, I don't suppose I know you. I was just messin with ya since we both live in Anderson. I think I have everything I need. All I need now is for everything to get here and time to put her together.
 
How about my damn pasenger side widow motor went out last night. You know when we got hit with that tornado like rain rofl. I had to put the car in my friends garage, and waiting for another friend to hopefully come through with a window motor. I have to work Saturday the 18th. I was told yesterday by a friend that jackson is now open on saturdays. I'm going to get ahold of him, and see if its in the afternoon if so im there.
