Project GT30

It's finally time, time for GT30 awesomeness. I had a few things work out for me and its looking like it's finally going to happen. The T25 is choking Whitey's built motor sooo much it's upsetting.

New parts I'm getting:

-GT3071R w/ .64 A/R
-SARD 850cc Injectors
-ISIS Intake Plenum
-Clutch disc for my GMAX twin plate
-HKS Actuator
-New flywheel bolts
-N62 MAF

I'm really excited to see what she ends up making, this turbo is going to pair nicely with setup of my engine. Considering before it made 240whp @ 10 psi, on a shitty T25. Basically 60whp over stock. Impressed me :-)



The GT30 should pull some nice numbers while keeping the boost low. I'm tearing her apart tomorrow, T25 is sold, as well as the Tomei 555's. I'll post pics then :-)

Quick Whitey update before KY! Rd. 2

Aside from the Z-Brakes and bracing I made in late May, I went ahead and addresses some other things on my list. Pics are crappy and I didn't take any of the finished project but I made some fender braces for her.

I had flurry of ideas come to mind but this ended up being the most "efficient" method in regards to effectiveness and time. I contemplated making your traditional triangle shaped pieces but decided against making such a large piece given I specifically wanted it to be a "weld on" unit. After pitching Bryan's fender brace idea to him, I thought about doing it to Whitey but also decided against that due to having to redo a BUNCH of wiring. Annnd I didn't really feel like doing that in the middle of the season lol.











I don't have pics yet but the bars were painted the traditional Metcalf Coyote Satin Purple :-). The rest of the night was dedicated to drunken painting and drinking with fun bros. Here's me telling a story or something I dunno..



And Julien, AKA Island Trouble



Louis, AKA BigBelch



And Jeremy, AKA WHATCHUSAYBOUTMYMOMMA?!



Also drunken garage floor chalk portraits...




The next day I decided to give her a bath, she be durty n shit yo.





Overall the combined bracing of the fender, trunk, and rear bumper have made a great impact. Soooo stable through turns, as well as giving you a neck ache every time you drive it lol. Very pleased with the fender braces, simply design yield great results. Taking order now ;-).

I'm obsessed with this car...

Ahh the Gun Sports 13, I first saw this car maybe 5 years ago? Back in high school I would skip class and to the library to watch MSC videos and save pics on my flashdrive <---GEEK lol. This car has came a long way since then, popping up on numerous sites and magazines the owner has really taken his 13 to a different level. Although you can see in older pics he's always had a GT Styling bug :-). Perhaps we could say he's been a pioneer in that field.


















Here's a couple I dug up off my PC, old pics of the car. Stock body, with center mounted wing and canards; I believe here is where he started dipping his feet into GT Styling :-).

Awesome Flashbacks

Too Bad It Doesn't Have A Big Block 454...

...cause then it could really drift. I'm joking.

Twiggy's Fender Braces(and Tobacco Smoking)

As you can see I cut four stainless steel templates(two per side) and welded them to the firewall and underside of the frame connected to the strut tower.I then cut two stainless steel bars and cut them to the appropriate angles to maximize force dispersion from drifting,braking etc. without placing them in the way of the wheels as they move from lock to lock!

I did place the driver's side firewall template over the factory main wire harness hole. Reason being I needed to tuck the harness anyways so I am drilling an 86mm hole on the side of the firewall right in front of the door on the drivers side for the wiring harness.

Essentially I braced the front end of the car for less money than a half of a tank of gas while tucking the wiring harness too!

And....we got pipes!

This is Derek and I enjoying some premium Coffee tobacco.

Coffee tobacco is the best invention ever.

Now we just need tire smoke candles to burn......
