Thanks guys!

FYI: Z is headed to Richey's Collision for a new shade of black.

 

Looks like you have a nice set up. Was going to make a suggestion for you but you already have it back together. Just an FYI the VQ heads pick up a lot from ported heads. We had a before and after where we made 488 on 14psi before and after having the heads done and installing some tomei cams the car made 592 on 14psi. This was with the greddy 18g kit. VQ's heads definitely can use some more flow.

 

My heads are ported.

 

Ok... I know a lot of guys do the bottom end without worrying about the heads but the heads can make all the difference in the world.

 

Depends on the build. Porting my heads moved the powerband to the right. With larger turbos I would see better use out of the heads being ported.

 

Body work has begun from the latest email I received from Richey's. UTR Advance is still backordered and looking at other options. I'll be home shortly and will make my decision than. Video by Gearhead Flicks hopefully coming soon.

 

Just a couple more days...

 

Picked up from paint.

 

mmmm fresh paint

 

 

Quick pics from today...





First fill up... 11mpg.

 

Very nice Robert. Are you back? Im getting about 10mpg on e85. Lol

 

I am currently back.

 

I saw your car at coffee and cars, I was there with my son and I was about to say something to you but you got pissed about someone messing up the paint, oh well!

 

Awe man... No worries. I just got the car out of paint and kids were leaning on it. Running around it. Just acting stupid.

Come up and say "Hi" next time.

 

All good, and will do. Will you be at the march coffee and cars?

 

Back in Iraq.

Will be home end of April, start of May. First child is due.

 

Car looks sick dude. Congrats!
