Cagedruss is on the other forum, not sure if he is here. I believe that he is located in Oregon.



I have no personal experience but I have seen some of his work. Looks to be top notch.

There is an issue with the ignition on the car. It seems that the car is missing alot and I can;t for the life of me figure it out. I am sick of dealing with the ignition so I am going to buy a MSD 6a and get a second gen coil for it. also attached are some photos as to where I am as of now. Enjoy! Oh I will have to wait untill a later weekend to work on the suspension Because I have no idea what to do. Time to do some research!!

no ones posted anything, so a update so that this thread doesn't vanish again. Everyone out there who has a weber ida 48 how do you get the B**** of a carb to get rid of the hiccup at 3000~3300 rpm?

I seem to disappear on and off again on this thread, but an update for you all. I had a engine fire... one of my friends left a rag under the car that was soaked in oil etc. and the starter lit that up like a match, just like my engine bay. Good news is that I fixed the damage. bad news is that it scared the living **** out of me. I have the shocks and springs and camber plates at the house but I cannot install them because I do not know how lol. anyone in the portland area want to help me this summer install all of that? I offer food, car talk, and a beer or two if your over 21.



cheers

Looks like it is getting there. I did the same thing with my engine once. I had an extingisher about 50' away so it was out in a few min. It melted some of the wires under the hood but that was it.

Dude I was freaking out! totally thought I lost my ride for good. But I did take the 7 to the beach over the long weekend. Ended up taking on my more cars then I had anticipated. Guess the sound made everyone think that their ride was better, lol but comet showed them! I actually had a saleen come up against me while I was in third gear just crusing. He did the rev thing and I could hear the supercharger spool. I knew I would have a chance in that situation but I thought it would be fun anyway so we get going and I was actually doing well for like ten seconds then out of no where you hear a loud buzzing sound from the other car and then a massive clunk followed by lots of smpke from under the hood of the guys car. His supercharger spun out on his and gernaded his motor!!! I do not know about you guys but a blown motor is a win in my book. Add to that a v6 mustang, mazda 3, subaru impreza (non-turbo), and a nissan 240sx se all beat down by my baby. lol I had a great weekend!!!

he didn't look happy thats for sure. but I guess thats the way things go when your dealing with aftermarket. you have to be sure when your dealing with this stuff, boost isn't something to mess with if you do not know what your doing.
