MikeH686 · Jun 2, 2018

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 · Jun 3, 2018

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.

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

MikeH686 · Jun 3, 2018

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 · Jun 3, 2018

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.

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 · Jun 7, 2018

@General karthief it will all be alright.

That doesn't include the foundation though, right?

MikeH686 · Jun 8, 2018

@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 · Jun 13, 2018

But do you have that porkchop tune or nah ?

MikeH686 · Jul 14, 2018

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.

Won't interfere with sunroof opening?

MikeH686 · Jul 14, 2018

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

RaggedGT · Jul 14, 2018

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