I was looking at a Kirkey seat as well. I have a sunroof car, how much clearance is there between the top of the seat to the headliner with the cushion installed?

 

[fst91dsm]

I havent sat in the seat with a cushion in it, but with a helmet on there is about one and a half to two inches of clearence.

Looking good!!!! You've made some serious progress.

Were going to try to make the 29th also with our turbo K20 race civic to do some
shake-down passes, hopefully it won't rain.

 

[Nofear20]

Well I cant wait to run it. Well be at Renegade on the 29th hopefully.

Renegade... as in Renegade raceway here in Yakima?

 

[fst91dsm]

Weather.com says that its going to be cloudy, but yesterday it said it was going to rain. So hopefully the weather report will get better as the days go by. Hope to see you guys out there. It should be fun.

And yes that is Renegade in Yakima.

 

[Nofear20]

Rarely rains here... although on an event day like that it probably will

I would like to see your car run

 

[droppinbottom]

Looks like I need to take a trip down to see the new shop. Did reid ever get a dyno like he was saying? Funny how I have seen your car in person at reids old shop but I have never met you.

I need to meet up with you sometime. I have been leary of taking my car to renegade or to srp as I dont know many people over here on this side of the state for when something does break. I could go at the end of the month but I will still be on my current setup. I am hoping to get a tracking number on the new turbo and manifold any day now.

 

[fst91dsm]

Ya, your more than welcome to swing by and take a look around the shop. Its at 110 Gum st, in Kennewick. He did get a dyno (Dyno Dynamics), its only the two wheel drive model. But with the VCE that we have the AWD drive cars can be dynoed.

 

[copykat]

Looking good keep us posted ,,,

 

[fst91dsm]

Got the manifold back from our welder today, and he is the GREATEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every weld is perfect and I think it looks AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Theres still alot of stuff to do so we gotta get back to work. But I thought Id share this work of art with all of you. Thank you to Reid for the fabrication and John for the welding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bastarddsm]

That thing is a damn work of art!

 

[TSi_with_psi]

Those manifold pictures gave me a Turboner! . I'm really impressed with your work!

 

[ali]

badass

 

[Nofear20]

Are you still making it to renegade?

 

[fst91dsm]

The chances are slim to none. One of our orders for fittings and AN lines didnt go through so I have no fuel system. But as soon as that order comes in were going to complete the fuel system and put it on the dyno to do some tuning. Then, if nothing blows up were good to go.

 

[Plaser]

All i can say is Kaizenspeed FTW!

 

[fst91dsm]

Well we wont be going racing on the 29th. Oh well. Good things come to those who wait. Or at least thats what they say. This is how the car sits now. It draws alot of attention when people walk into the shop. Can you blame them?

 

[Plaser]

that turbo is bigger than my effin intercooler!!

 

[fst91dsm]

I think its just about the same size, .

 

[Plaser]

, now that is funny!

 

[droppinbottom]

So where is the updates?

 

[h8r]

Stay far from the NX CARBON NOIDS. Ask me why I say that... : (

 

[kittay]

I would just like to say your shit is amazing! . I really like that air/ water setup!

 

[TSIMonsteR]

That manifold is beautiful, really is. Good job on the car so far!

 

[fst91dsm]

No updates to speak of, were just WAY to busy at the shop (KAIZENSPEED). Hopefully we'll start rockin and rollin on it in a week or so. But then again, Ive been saying that for the last month. . What is the problem with the solonoids? Just curious. Hopefully its amazing enough to go 9.0 this year, but the season is slipping right through my fingers.
