Trying to talk Brian Crower out of a 3.4l stroker kit. So far its kinda working. Probably doing a 2jzgte DVD with drifting.com. CP pistons may be helping me out with a set. Ended up on the phone most of the day again. Droping off the motor at [URL="http://www.speedomotive.com/" Speed O Motive[/URL] in the morning to start being cleaned up and ready for machining. I trust those guys alot. We made a sr20det and ran it on thier dyno for the castrol top shop challenge, it made just over 850hp on 100 octane.
Still trying to get a clutch and wheels for this thing. The car goes to paint on monday, think I found a color I like.

I dont think of it as overkill, there are many other cars with alot less weight running 800+hp na v8's. And they kinda took out the pase cone this past year. Even though they say your supposed to wait for the other guy, no one really does. Figured if people want to drag race, I'll make a drag setup then just learn to keep it sideways, which shouldnt be hard with that much power. Yeah, the tracks are getting really fast.

I'm trying to get some replacement parts but there are only a few companies that carry that stuff and they are not getting back to me right now.
Picked up another sponsor, Rotora. Too bad thier web site is down. Said it was getting moved or something.
6 hours later and finally the body kit still doesnt fit right but at least its decent from 30ft away.
Thats what I get for buying a $200 body kit. What a waste of time. I did drop off the motor at speed o motive. And the rear end got dropped off at Kaaz.
Still need a better clutch pedal, wheel sponsor, and a turbo.

Good news, new sponsors,
And
They are sending the BC 3.4 stroker kit with 9.0 compression pistons, 272 cams, titanium retainers, and single style valve springs. We will also be going a DVD with Drifting.com for the motor build.
Also when I got home, was happy to find my cat ontop of this
And this thing is cool, rad cap with temp guage built in.

Got a couple new sponsors,
www.aitracing.com, they saw the body kit and said they had something better. Unfortunatly they are out of front bumpers but will have one in a couple weeks. In the mean time the old bumper will be getting painted.
www.knwautobody.com/ will be doing the body work. Great guys and they are used to dealing with aftermarket cars. At least half the cars in there today where getting kits fitted and molded. If your looking for someone in the 909, hit these guys up.
I'm leaving for hawaii tomarro (family stuff) which kinda works out I guess. The chassis is over at knwautobody and they will need it for some time. Then the BC stroker showed up at speed o motive this morning. They will need some time to get that together too. Which leaves me a week with nothing to do but hang out with old friends and the family. I'm glad to take a break from this car which has taken up all my time. Just when I get back, its full tilt till the end. I'm still in need of some parts which I hope to have ordered and on its way to the shop by the time I get back.
