Understandable.

Depends on how I feel about my clutch.

I'll be at my shop. Got cars we need to finish. We're telling customers that we can't start on their car till second & third week of March.

 

have fun!!!!!!! lol....... thats gotta suck

 

We're just that busy! Which is good. The blower special is a huge factor.

 

when will this damn rain stop so I can wash my car?

 

Just got home. FYI: Houston is filled with idiot drivers.

 

lol..... aye we still here at the shop lol

 

Hello my fellow Houstonians! I recently have returned to Houston where I was born and raised, I spent the last 5 years in FL. I'm only here until mid march, and luckily I had some extra money to blow. After doing some research on the parts and different shops I've decided to do a greddy twin turbo built put together by JTran Studios. I've heard nothing but good things about Jtran Studios and I couldn't find anyone to beat the price they gave me.

Here's my build list:
Greddy 20g tuner kit
Greddy turbo Ti-C exhaust
ACT clutch
UTEC
Greddy BOV
Blitz turbo timer
RC 750cc injectors
Walboro fuel pump

I ran outta money after that I still want Defi gauges, and the HKS evc VI boost controller, but I guess those will have to wait. The parts should be in mid next week and then the build should start. Pic of the ride:

Also I heard a few of you are in the military from the folks at JTran. I actually saw your Z mike, when I stopped by a few times looks awesome man. USAF here, I'm waiting until my training starts up. They put me on IRR status for the time being, so I decided just to come back to houston while I wait, I go active duty mid march and will be at Laughlin AFB

 

Welcome back! Ex-USAF (3E751) here. Was also stationed at Laughlin AFB back in '02-'05. Congrats on the build and you won't be disappointed!

 

roger that!
there are just too many of them...

 

haha thanx............ your Z will be in good hands..... hurry and get that block buily so you can put out lots of power!!!!!

 

Have to agree with Mike here. Just go ahead and build the block and upgrade to the HalTech!

 

Maybe one day, but for now I have no more money to spend on the Z, its sad I know

 

Haltec is the ****! Get the motor built man, with that 20g kit on there or with any fi.kits on the vq i'd be afraid of going over 6psi

 

Blasphemy!!!!

 

Mike & I both understand. Military pay check only go so far. However, FWIW, I made more in the USAF and 3-4 times as much as a contractor than I do now. However I have more love for what I'm doing.

 

Sup Houston..........

how goes it...........glad you guys have a lounge thread going now...

I know Houston quite well as i visited/worked there often on projects.

My wife and I think in the next few years we may move there as well. I moved to DFW after turning down a Boeing position at JSC/Nasa...

Any of you guys engineers?

Were thinking I may pursue that next/again in the next few years... I hope to make it down to a few meets one day, etc....

notice lately that when I shut my car down after driving, there are clicking noise that go on for a while. I hear it loudly when the car is inside my garage...what is that?

 

Not an engineer here but Houston is way better than Dallas/Ft. Worth. No snow!

Is your car running a bit hot? Might be a fan not spinning. Without hearing it myself can't think of much else.
