Sounds sooooo nice. Not dialed in yet as this was literally the first time it breathed fire.

Man I love that sound.

Sounds great!

OT - The related section shows lots of Motorsheishter vid's. I wonder how many of them survived more than a year!? The 3.0 race motor sounds cool, but I was waiting to hear a bang, clunk, cruntch!

Did you do the motor yourself or use someone local?

There are only two people who I would trust to build this engine and the number one guy I would choose is he one that did it. That is who's hand you see blipping the throttle. He can say who it is if he wants . I am the youngin trying to learn from the masters

Posted by: Phoenix 914-6GT May 15 2009, 02:45 PM

Just the dirty whore. That's all I ever call her and it sarted from my wife saying I was going out to be with my girlfriend . So I started to say I going out to the garage to be with my dirty little whore and she'd just glare at me with a little smirk.

Tell your guru to quit playin' with the wa wa lever & tune them effin' carbs. I doan wanna have to do the first time I see you.

haha it was lean so I had to pump it, I just wanted the damn thing to run for 15mins and then mess with it. What you dont see is the plastic plug in the main jet holder as it broke off in the carb. Still got er started and warmed up.

step one- complete

JP, I'm not telling Jeff to do anything. He knows what he's doing. Besides, we were just getting the car going. It will be all ready to go when I see you

That sounds awesome man!


My only concern is I was always told when you first start the engine up, to hold the motor at 2000 rpms for 20 mins to get the rings to seat. Is that not correct, or is that step #2.

Posted by: JRust May 16 2009, 10:00 PM

So this is why Jeff couldn't make WCR . You selfish little weasle Jon

No seriously dude that rocks. Wish you guys could have made it. Nice to know your still getting your teener fix anyway
