Did your flex joints fail, jw. Also any plans for ITB?

They kept getting ripped open scraping on speed bumps. We moved them back after the Y to a single flex.

No ITB. I hope I am done.

awesome build, people don't realize that the car is making monster torque - we are talking 330 at the wheels, like 360+ torque at the crank

to put this in perspective the e92 m3 makes 295 lb·ft at the crank.

Honestly I can only imagine how fun this is for a daily driver, monster torque on tap - this is making more then the basic stg1 vortex kits

Cylinder 2 was viewed through a scope and appears to have lost a piece of the top. The crank is ok, the rod is ok.

I will have a picture from the scope later.

The car has become like a sexy high maintenance girlfriend that lies & cheats. I have had enough.

Thanks

I feel your pain! I dislike how overly complicated VQ's were

It is sad to see someone go through so much work and anguish to have is money go up in a spun bearing... then ultimately giving up... for cheap thrills I have found refuge in a B13 and I hate to say it but I love it more than my old Z because it is easy to work on compared to a Z...
