SC400TT Project Car Stage II
#1006
Fun once again, at last!!
Gang,
since i have repaired the leak, and replaced the fouled plugs, my car starts up quickly and runs quite well. There are some tweaks yet needed, but I have been able to drive it on the street without any issues. I am just about finished heating off the copious amount of spilled power steering fluid that spilled onto the DEI lava wrap...So, not to much smoke anymore!!
But, the best thing is driving the car...And that is fun!! Hitting the curves, acclerating easily thorugh break in time, braking, etc. Most fun!! Finally, after over 5 years since the beginning of Stage 1 of this project, and now onto Stage 2 nearing completion, this is fun...Just driving my car!!
I am ecstatic at this point!!

Video of SC400TT
Hey gang, I have been tweaking the car here and there, and there is more tweaking to do, but it is coming along very well.
Here is a video I made tonight from my phone cam, and this is the way a properly tuned Autronic SM4 sounds The SM4 is the BOMB!! Car is running exceptionally well. Thank you Darin Dichiara, Master Tuner!! Dyno Tune is at the end of this month.
I am stoked guys and gals!

SC400TT any advice you could throw my way would be sweet, im working on a 4.7 block right now as my base.

I built it to handle that power, but I do not expect it on the first pass. I will probably have to tweak the exhausts, the fuel, and possibly add more agressive cams. We will see. I am in Darin Dichiara's hands as to the level of tuning we take it to...
Thanks again Deron, the idel is very stable, and smooth. The car runs well. I am pleased so far...
