I know it's a sad update, but stuff happens then I went on a camping/rafting vacation so sue me.
I did free up my bills for the next paycheck and got this for $99 @ HF:

More will be comming soon....I hope!

 

[Zen Chameleon]

Picked up a AEM CAI (tube only) for $30 shipped from a member of DSO.
I'll repaint it and will be able to swap between this and my short ram as needed.

More updates are on the way!

The slow updates are killing me!

 

[Zen Chameleon]

I know I know, we're all waiting for "REAL" updates. I have a few parts comming, and will have more on the way next week. I may even get this dang block in the shop soon. But untill then I got this crazy looking monster in the mail. It's made by Brownline (I never heard of them) and I only payed $99 shipped w/ the cool "blown plastic" case and all. This 1/2" drive torque wrench is fricken huge at about 22-1/2inch and ranges from 15-150 ft/lbs. I havn't got to really play with it yet but despite the fact it prolly won't do alot of good inside the engine bay I think I can put it to good use.

The brand name sounds horrible lol

Could be worse, it could've been called "Brown Streak"

Great build! I especially like the copper gasket spray for the head gasket I spotted.

Thankz lol! That's an interesting thing to comment about in a build thread, "I gotz that mad tyte JDM copper spray yo" hehe J/K!. It really depends, I may not even use it for the head gasket, it will for sure end up on the exhaust mani gasket though.

So I got a pretty decent pay check today and couldn't decide which dirrection to spend it, I'm sure this happens to everybody. So I came up with this great idea that I would write down 3 different companies that I wanted to give buisness to on 6 little pieces of paper (I would've spent about the same amount at each place but could only pick one) I also wrote the word "save" on 2 more little pieces of paper. I took the 8 pieces of paper and folded them up nice and tight and tossed them into a hat. Of course you know where this is going, so I had somebody pick a piece of paper out of the hat........needless to say I shouldn't have put "save" as an option. Guess we'll be waiting pretty much till next month to see how well that plan worked

 

[vtecsir1]

I noticed the copper gasket spray because I use it for every build and highly recommend it.

Not a bad thing to save, I wish I did it instead of buying everything in front of me lol. I have jus had too many good deals come along to save! Keep trucking we will all be watching.

 

[Zen Chameleon]

Got 2 little packages today, one with the lanyard, and the other with the ES engine mount inserts.

Oh, and I said screw the saving bit and packed up the block parts to go to the shop tomorrow.

Bye bye.

 

[Zen Chameleon]

Bye bye.

Are you saying bye to my money or, your going on vacation, I got banned and didn't know it, bye bye miss american pie, = "spend it/buy" in Canadian???

Thankz for the support, i think ^_^

So I got off work @ 8am yesterday and took the 3 hour trip to the machine shop. He looked over everything and mostly was happy with it all at first glance, exept with the Z6 crank.
I can only blame myself for not cleaning the crank and buying micrometer(which will be next on the list ) to check it for specs before I took it to the shop. The crank just happened to be "dirty" where there had been a spun bearing. He checked it out and basically said that he'll "try" to grind it and it will either make it to specs or it won't. I can't really be mad about it as I've had alot of luck in buying used parts so far *knock on wood*, and if nothing else it will make a great lamp . The down fall to this news is that my EX tranny came from the same source, sooo I guess I'll have to learn how to crack it open and make sure it's in better shape than the crank was .
