Bikes must be the lotion that takes the itch away. Id never look back, espicially with this new bike.



Guil. Keep it clean. I just neglected the car too much. Im glad someone on the board picked it up. To be fair Kent I told you I could store it for you for awhile.

Beautiful work Rob, I love the progress!! Everything looks beautiful, can't wait for next season so we can see this beauty in action!

Picture a friend of mine made

You can be assured of that I have some rare goodies coming on it soon. As of right now, she's getting more pampering than the 2g.

So I take it you got the new bike? Hope she treats you well, she looked great in the pics you showed me, I'm sure she's even better in real life!

Thats good man she just needed a little more tlc.

Yeah picked it up last friday. It looks better in person and she handles soo nice! Plus picks up alot better too.

Bikes are fun, I've owned a couple. But, boost is totally different, but eventually you'll miss it.

What did you pick up?

I picked up an 05 r6. I'm sure one day I'll probably buy an evo. I'm skeptical though lol

Zip ties to hold HID ballast in place, WTF, where's the billet, CNC machined bracket

Otherwise, I approve

loool i zip tie mine in too..

That is not what I expect from Rob. Please make a bracket...

Its on the list. Gimme a break.

Its also expected to be beautifully powder coated like everything else

Hey Guys, I went for a cruise today down to graffiti alley in Toronto.

Nice pic Tim, the EVO blue really fits in with the graffiti.

Taken Saturday morning at various locations along the forks of the credit.

One day mine will look like that

Turns out my FMIC wasn't my only problem last week on the dyno day, I fixed it and it was still getting a misfire and knock anytime in boost. Compression test showed 120-150-120-130, also started blowing oil out all around the valve cover and the dipstick.

So today I yanked it out, will drop in my spare block tomorrow.

Woah, you took action on that like a pro! Nice.

Long time since i posted mine. Here she is again

Nice Alex, maybe one day I actually see you driving it?

That's a promise! I have a list things I need to do before she feel roads again. Slowly but surely

Let me know how the head studs work out for you, I'm also curious if they can be installed properly without removing the head.

There are guys I have read that have done it and are now pushing big numbers. and that's the only thing they have done!

You can ready more about it here

Random shot in an underground

Got my new motor pretty much ready to drop in, should be running by weekend.

RAWWRRR!!

She is beautiful, what size is that throttle body elbow?

If my memory is correct, it is 2 1/2".

Ignore the nasty looking throttle body for now, I have another one ready to coat and rebuild, just haven't got to it yet. I'm debating if I should do it in black chrome like the piping/intake mani or maybe matte black.

I also have another CAS that will look a little better

Do it the same colour as the intake mani

Looks bigger, nice work though, you definitely make her look perdy

Jesus christ! You did all that in a couple of days!?

Some of you guys work on your cars like someone would their computer!

"just popped out the engine and popped it back in."

or

"just popped out the transmission and popped it back in after changing out the clutch."

Just wow.

I was thinking the same thing Michael!

I work on the computer all day at work so when I get home, my relaxing time is working on the dsm. I come home, eat, watch a couple youtube subscriptions, spend some time with the wife then head out to the garage.

FWIW, I changed my flywheel in 4ish hours, and swapped it to AWD in 2 weeks more or less.

Wish you were my neighbour lol

Having a garage is key I guess.

And Tools lol

I am in the same boat as Michael... I hope one day I can just drop the engine over the weekend. When I changed the lower control arm it took me I'd say about 6 hours... because I didn't have the proper tool to remove the ball joint. And when I installed the hi flow cat it took 8 hours over two days, 4 each day. Simply because I had to deal with the rusted bolts and I can only get the car so high off the ground. And just my luck it rained on the 2nd day so I was dripping wet on the floor and I got a cold

If it were up to me I would do everything on my own and immediately, unfortunately I don't have the resources right now

I can drop a trans all by myself in about 2 hours if not less without cutting corners, from having the car running to tranny on the floor. Once you do it so much it becomes super easy.

Now to ruin the trend of all the cars beautifully getting put together... here's one getting torn apart!





And here it the last "running" picture I have of it. Thought I had more gas than I really did (gauge didn't work).

She is a beautiful thing, oh how I wish it was a 1ga!

One thing I've found with 2g's, because of the mounts being on the tranny instead of the motor, it's just as fast to remove the whole thing on one piece. I'm down to about 2 1/2 hours to have it hanging by 2 bolts, and it's only a matter of minutes to lift it out with the overhead crane I installed this summer
