I would estatic with a 1.1x 60’ lol no I think the car should be able to cut a 1.2x 60’

Is your shop finished out now?

 

[MikeH686]

Oh yeah it’s pretty much finished everything’s in there now I’m gonna pull everything out soon to put studs up and insulate it all so I can put my mini split in I got from work.

diggin that hangar-style door.

 

[MikeH686]

Thanks man it was the easiest option being I had a lift going in. Entire pole barn building kit cost just under 7k for a 24x24x12 garage.

 

[Chuckman]

that less than what i just paid to replace the hvac in the house

 

[MikeH686]

Good lord that’s highway robbery I do hvac side work and I don’t do markup on the units because I’m not a company lol my usual replacements are between 3-4k

 

[Chuckman]

furnace, a/c, and water heater. 3-4k would be CHEAP for all that around here, my last house just the a/c was around 3.5-4k. probably used on of the more expensive companys out here, but they're the only ones that responded out of 3 or 4 that i contacted when the a/c went out last week.

 

[MikeH686]

Response is the biggest thing

Took the car to jersey Tuesday to have some tuning done so I can really start throwing the boost at it. Made a few pulls and started dropping fuel pressure badly. Thought it was a clogged fuel filter, removed and cleaned and tried again. Same results with the fuel pressure dropping. Turns out my holley 1200-2 pumps just can’t keep up anymore. Car made decent power at 5500rpm which is where we stopped it at. Went to local speed shop yesterday and bought a new magnafuel 4303 fuel pump. Gonna head back to jersey next Tuesday to try it again.

You should known better than to play with your fuel pump while driving!

 

[MikeH686]

@General karthief it will all be alright.

That doesn't include the foundation though, right?

 

[MikeH686]

@hoopty5.0 no that number is strictly building material cost to erect the structure. I got a loan for 20,000 and it built the whole garage foundation and concrete floors

 

[TOOLOW91]

But do you have that porkchop tune or nah ?

 

[MikeH686]

Haven’t really done much with the car other then drive and race with it but, the class I’m in now requires me to run a cage. Contacted team z to get a pre notched and bent 8 pt cage. The cage came out great but I need to make some minor modifications. One being the bars going to the trunk area we’re just straight bars and they touched the rear seats as they went down. So I decided to re bend them with the bars they supplied. I think it turnsd out pretty good actually. Nothing in the pictures is welded in yet just sitting there but gives an idea of what it’ll look like.

 

[General karthief]

Won't interfere with sunroof opening?

 

[MikeH686]

@General karthief not at all where it’s at right now I can fit my hand in there

 

[RaggedGT]

Looks like a nice fitting cage.Does it have the seat brace bar too?How close is the bar to your noggin?
