Yep thats right....a single thread for the progress on the twin turbo stang
So first off....YES I BOUGHT IT BACK
This is the only pic you need to see...haha.
Ill try and get some more later....so you can see what shape its in NOW after setting a year and a half.
OK now on to the issues....well I thought an axle was bent (it is SLIGHTLY) and causing vibration. Well great news....drivers side front somehow locked up when I had the wreck and put a BIG flatspot on the tire! Yanked that rim off and threw on a v6 rim/tire we had around.....now drives smooth as ever! WHO HOO! Funny thing is I pulled EVERY other rim and tire before this one...because the passenger side is what hit....so im thinking how could anything be wrong with the drivers front?
Crazy...still not 100% sure why that tire locked up....I thought it was the drivers rear that locked due to the ABS sensor coming loose...but if it disabled the whole system maybe it was just the front that locked and why I couldnt steer out of the spin.
ANYWAYS so now all I have to do is take it to my buddies friends shop and get the rear of the car pulled back into 100% straightness. They actually forgot to do it after they straightened the front up....so it will be free. Then the car will be right and I can throw on a rear bumper cover. There really isnt much body work left that needs to be done...just a little work left on the hood, front bumper, and rear quarter panel....thats the just of it. Then we can paint those pieces and its good as new.
Car also passed state inspection the other day....so ill be able to start tuning and datalogging it and making my neighbors remember why they hated me so much a few years back
Thats enough for now...ill update whats next on the to do list a bit later. Thanks for looking!
CURRENT DYNO NUMBERS GOAL! 600RWHP
Current numbers...before the wreck! 550RWHP @ 11.9PSI
I plan on updating the current "before" numbers here in a few weeks...see if I can get a little closer to my goal, before busting out my trump card
