g8 0-60 test

just testing the 0-60 on the g8 a few times, and checking the timestamp in my video editing program, pretty impressive for a heavy car with limited traction...

sloppy mechanics 2010 fireworks show

here is the last 13 min of our annual fireworks show of 2010

lots of work on the turbo rusty tonight

trans mount fabbed and finished, painted installed, driveshaft in, trans cooler, exhaust modded but might not be enough, more stuff to do, heres some pics.

th400 installed tonight

well, it was time to drop in the pig, trans fits in great with the drop box, that was a big concern, since we just measured and molded that box the way we wanted to, and hoped to god the trans wouldnt hit it. lol.

ryan had pre wired and relayed everything in the cab before he buttoned it up, so all the wires are down below already and just need to be connected, the shifter linkage is working great, need a nut to hold the arm to the trans, and then do some final adjustment when its running, but thats ready to go now too.

all the measurements are in, ryan is dropping off the driveshaft tomorrow at the drive shaft shop, its really fucking close actually, it might need to be lengthened up a little bit. but holy shit its close.

lots of things to finish up with the motor, plugging shit in, intake, piping, rad, pulleys, all little nit picky shit.

hes going to build a crossmember for the trans tomorrow that clears the exhaust, and fuck around.

here are the pics from tonight, im really surprised with how well everything fit, like a glove, easier to install than the 5spd, and i could not believe how light the flexplate and converter were, the flexplate was like 1lb at most and the converter even filled was like 8lbs.

Blower Installed!

well, we started about 7something, and were totally done around 230, pretty quick, forgot to get some extra coolant for the car and the blower once installed so had to run out and get that after everything was done. all in all, extremely pleased with the kit, it looks stock, and performs amazing, my car is so quiet and quick, its a totally different animal.

we loaded a magnacharger tune in hybrid with my other tune, and its nice and safe. till we can get a custom tune in, possibly tonight, we will see, but its totally safe for now.

and now for some installed pics!

Got my magnacharger today in the mail!

pics!

sloppy mechanics sub 100 dollar stand alone fuel system

running out of fuel on your stock pump, feeding your big boy spray kit and your motor at the same time. dont want to be hassled with "t'ing" lines and dropping your tank to upgrade fuel pumps etc. Want a flexible easy to install, and cheap 250rwhp worth of fuel to that nitrous kit.

the nice thing about this is, you can put pumpgas in your tank, and racegas in your stand alone for extra insurance, and you wont be wasting the racegas in your tank, only when you are spraying.

we will be taking it to the dyno soon enough to tune it up and see how it fairs.

taking the ventura out for a nice drive
