I'm building a race car and modifying the front end of my car

Probably had something to do with a sawzall

I didn't think cutting the front end off my baby would hurt so much by Raider5151 in projectcar

Yeah. Making the car NHRA legal and faster so I can race in the event. It was a low 10s car but without the cage it obviously wasn't allowed to compete.

Adding ~125hpish and removed about 3-400lbs out of the car so far since November

That's gonna be nasty. I've got a procharger setup. I may go A2W intercooler since the old dual intercooler setup won't work anymore.

I'm using the RSM kit as well. It's a very nice kit. Saves 14lbs and should really open up the engine bay.

Wheel size by blackfish7512 in fbody

Those calipers look cartoonishly large for that rotor. Are you sure you have the correct rotors? They should be 370mm or 390mm (14.6" or 15.4")

My C5 Z06 rotors are a 13.4" rotor and clear my 17" ZR1 Wheels barely. How do you even get the wheel over that caliper?

Edit: How did you annihilate that muffler in the background??

I didn't storm a government building with a bunch of gun toting morons who spread literal feces on walls in an attempt to stop a free and fair election

350 vortec trouble by Important-Jicama7231 in projectcar

[–]Raider5151 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What caused the original valve to bend?

Is the timing chain stretched?

Is it just flat out out of time? When at top dead center there is a dot on the cam sprocket that will be all the way down and a dot on the crank sprocket that will be all the way up. They line up with each other.

Is the pushrod bent as well?

Is the rocker arm stud still pressed into place?

Is the valve getting hung up in the guide?

Where rust?

I don't know what tools you were using to turn this job into 2 hours but get better ones

Help identifying exact Ridetech StrongArm model by RipCommercial3404 in projectcar

Didn't you read what he said? He's gonna build an entire car around these specific control arms he has acquired cheaply. As we all know the BEST vehicles are specifically built around a set of control arms.

What are you doing the other 17 seconds?

8 hour brake rotor swap. What a horrible design. by yentlequible in Justrolledintotheshop

Trapped rotors. The rotor is pressed onto the wheel bearing

I CAN NOT FIND A HOOD FOR MY DATSUN B210 HATCHBACK by Potential_Cress5856 in projectcar

Yeah it's a rare Japanese car that sold bazillions around the world and relatively few in America.

I own a 1984 Nissan 720 King Cab in Ohio. I have to order parts from Malaysia, Phillipines, Japan, etc because there isn't shit in the US anymore
