The centerlines aren't going anywhere. I may make them the non-show wheels until Mary gets her Fiesta......one day.

by **PR1ME** 2011-05-27, 2:49 am

I just like the fatness of the RS wheels.

by 98LowRanger 2011-05-27, 12:58 pm

Looking great Jeremy. I like the RS's on your car a lot. Good luck with getting it done in time!

by Kenzx3 2011-05-27, 1:01 pm

LOVIN THE RS'! Sooooo much better!

by FuhFuhhhh Focus 2011-05-27, 7:24 pm

Good work!

I like both wheels. You can't go wrong with RS's, very nice. Thumb Up

by NorCalFocus 2011-05-28, 2:39 am

I liked the centerlines better as well. They made your car stand out.

I know piping doesn't look the best cosmetic wise. Typical muffler shop piping. It'll get redone after awhile but it'll work for now. I made what i can look good from the top side. Everything down low gets covered by the bumper anyways.

And the air filter will get changed too. I can't find the inner rings to the new one i got so the one that is on it is all i had.

Tomorrow will be busting ass putting the rest of it back to together, wash it and put it on a trailer. Then it'll be off to FR11!

I will upload the video of the first start up tomorrow when i get it off Mary's phone.

^I didn't get a chance to paint the rocker panels. I did paint the one but it's a completely different black. I'll have to redo the both. If i can find time tomorrow or wednesday i'll let you know. I'll bring them weither they get done or not.

by **SVT3658** 2011-05-31, 2:12 am

no worries. But I wouldn't bring them, my car won't be there and I wont have a way to transport them Sad

by slocussvt 2011-05-31, 2:14 am

Why no car?

by Cobrawannabe 2011-05-31, 8:21 am

Jeremy, this is incredible. I'm blown away by your talent, taste, and attitude towards cars and the scene in general. This is a top-notch thread. I can't wait to finally meet you at FR!

So are you going to run it without boost while in PA?

by slocussvt 2011-06-13, 1:01 am

No, it ran with boost while in PA. It's ready to play with psi levels now and to get the final tuning done.

by HaveBlue83 2011-06-13, 12:02 pm

its pretty. well done man. i was gonna go roush turbo like u did if i was to turbo mine. almost picked up that one from turbo turtle awhile back.

by **CaysE** 2011-06-13, 2:45 pm

Dude your car was stunning at the show. Awesome work.

by slocussvt 2011-06-20, 1:26 am

Thanks guys. Got offered to have a photoshoot and an article made hopefully for two sites, SouthernFresh and Canibeat.

Also did some more datalogging tonight. She's running 15psi instead of 8psi now. She's a whole new monster. Can't wait to take her to the dyno and track.

Well, the slocussvt is down. Did my final datalog, everything looked good on the datalog but after i did the pulls and shut off the computer i did another lil pull and it sounded different and started blowing smoke. Pulled off the highway and saw oil and coolant everywhere coming from my valve cover breather tube.

Did a compression test tonight and from 1-4 it's 120, 120, 30 and 50. So cylinder 3&4 are shot. I'm hoping just a head gasket since there is oil and coolant everywhere. Also the turbo is showing some shaft play. Probably gonna have to rebuild it once i start tearing it apart.

Sucks.... But my thought has always been when stuff breaks, it's just an excuse to buy more stuff. Thumb Up

For reference... please see my clutch situation right now.... Thumbs Down

by slocussvt 2011-10-03, 2:24 am

Well, ran some more tests today. Seems to be just a head gasket. Will know 100% once it's torn down. Hopefully it won't be down for too long.
