Well two things to update everyone on today. My HX52 after closer observation and being bored as my clear coat still hasn't been done yet by my one hook up(you can't complain when it's free though) had a little too much play. It doesn't touch the wall and never has but still it's just enough to make me go hmm. So I just picked up a rebuild kit from goldfarb for 75 shipped and I'm gonna have golden state diesel rebuild it. I also sent Paul my payment for the first batch of his front tubular support bar. I will have pictures as soon as everything gets in.

nice, cant wait to see it all done

You look happy as hell with the new seat cover dude. Made me smile. It's a good feeling when things start to come together.

Naw i'll leave that to you but I might have to throw some gf pics in there to up my viewing total like you did .

Yeah it's def good to see things slowly start to come together. I"m gonna wait till friday to start getting up my painters ass like come on man. Once I get the car back the seat will go in as I found out you don't have to weld it in you can bolt it in. I'm gonna get two brackets welded to the seat then get bolt the kirkey brackets that came with the seat to the floor and then to the brackets on the seat. Then I will pick up roll bar padding and put my wheel on and what not. I'm trying to do all the safety stuff and things you don't want to do as much because I know if I just throw a engine in I'll be like ehh I don't need that other crap even though I know I do.

One thing maybe some other kirkey guys can chime in how the hell are you supposed to mount this bracket? I figure it's to mount to the bar but kirkey isn't the best with pictures or install hints.

Christmas came late this year. I got into a fender bender in my jeep and the I quoted everything out to like 5-600 for parts and I was debating on reporting it or not. I said #### it I haven't been in a accident for a while. These characters quoted everything at 2200 - 500 which is the deductible = $1700 check to fix maybe 5-$600 job : )

 

[squeak10686]

any progress?

 

[Slippi84]

any progress?

Picked up my short block today. I will be tearing it down then sending it out to be cleaned honed and assembled as soon as I pick up my aluminum rods and 1400 pistons. I also got a steal on EMS for 800 with 5 bar map sensor and IAT so that is on the way. I picked up a valve cover with welded in -10 lines and catch can assembly off the link forums. Last but not least my hx52 rebuild kit came in today and Garden State Diesel will be rebuilding it so that I know it's ready for 45psi when this is all together. As soon as I get my hands on stuff pictures will go right up

After checking out Magnus's site and pricing out how much my fuel setup was going to cost me I'm gonna go with there mechanical fuel pump solution they use on their race cars where it mounts to the head and runs a mechanical pump at 1/2 engine speed. It will support 2000hp and eliminates the need for wiring relays and I may even throw around the idea of a engine mounted fuel supply like Shep but the kicker with that is I would be limiting the cars driving distance as I could maybe get a 5gal max cell in the engine bay.

Valve cover catch can setup

Why not try actual Ceramic coating?

IMO Heat paint isnt worth it, color changes and isnt even half effective as ceramic coating

But thats just me

That is actual cermaic coating. It's not just heat paint. Others have used this same stuff with great results. If you go back I posted a picture of the can. The only difference is it comes out a can not professional gun. I even did research on other brands it has the same heat range.

Looks good. I need a used oven.
