well at least I get paid two more times before then so I can get plenty of $$$ to buy the tranny with.

 

Well 5150 failed to have finished the project in a timely manner. 8 months was more than enough time. And with what was left, 2 months was more than enough time as well since I last left SoCal. These plane tickets are not cheap, and I couldn't continue to rely on hopes and dreams for it to get done. I had my car towed out of there the other day when I really didn't want to. I really wanted Aidan to finish the car, but I had no choice but to pull it out.

Don't expect to see this car up and running anytime soon.

 

DAMN thats fucked up, I hope you get that shit done after all this time you deserve it to be done, but best of luck wit that

 

damn sorry to hear that man.

are you going to try to find another shop to finish the job?

 

damn cocoa dont pull an lnsyone on us. we wanna see it kicking ass

 

that sux man... hope everthing works out, i was waiting to see this beast whooping on all the ricers here in nj. good luck....

 

I already have it at another shop. They gurantee it will be done in no more than 3-4 months with worst case scenarios and redoing everything (which we're doing). I am buying another subframe and they are going to start from scratch with the mounts. I really hope they pull through with their work.

 

yeah as long as they get the job done is what counts

btw let me know if what i wrote makes sense. im pretty faded with exceptional vision.

 

Wow! That really sucks. Sounds like the guy that was working on my stuff for a year and a half. I'm taking his ass to court on a couple items as he had my stuff for way to long and the only way to get retributiion is the courts, I'll have the last laugh on this one.

Is this the same shop that is suppose to build 3 different cams and spring setups for the j30 motor? All the j30 guys need is either the cls cams or the rl cams and do the same machine work to them.

 

Which shop? Evolution Racewerks? Sorry to hear about the unfortunate outcome..

 

Yes, it's the same shop.

 

No, it's not Evolution Racewerks.

 

did you pm me something?

 

fuck man. Sorry to hear that.

Good luck at the new shop...

 

damn man, sorry to hear about that. good luck with the new shop.

 

Chris, do you mind if i post progress pictures of your car?

 

Do It!

 

i second that..

 

I had planned on not telling anyone on the boards when it was done. I was just going to post a video of it running against some cars. But I guess teaser pics wouldn't hurt anyone. They still won't know when it'll be done.

Go ahead and post the pics, I don't even know the progress to my own car, lol. I worked 56 hours last week. Havent had time to stop by the shop to take a look.

 

We all hope it's done soon

 

ok maybe he doesn't mind some of this:









edit: LMK Chris if you want a picture of the whole car.

 

progress is gooood

 

let's see a pic of the whole thing

 

The only mount I havent seen finished was the rear mount. Any pics of it? Go ahead and show whatever pics you have to the rest of ACL if you'd like. They still wont know when it'll be done

 

 

 

yeah the rear mount gonna be a tricky one. looking good looking good. Wat car are you planning to spank in ur first video? CL-S 6-speed? turbo H22 1st gen?

 

daaang... just saw this thread... cant wait to see the finished product

 

the first picture was the rear mount.

more to come...

 

The rear mount is finished.

 

Once I left to work, I figured it was it. Just wasnt 100% sure on it.

 

BTW. I stopped by the shop, and everything looks good. Just gotta buy an oem passanger side axle, going to get a shifter off a CL or an accord so that it has better clearance with the E brake handle, wiating on some part from momo, and other than that, shouldnt be anything else to buy. They have all the hoses and radiator in, and all the fluids. This thing should be done in 2-3 weeks max.

 

Im glad you got it into this shop

 

can't wait..

 

wow
16 pages and now its almost done
someone deserves a trophy

 

yea this is a worthy project. cant wait to see the finished product

 

Me too, C&C Autotuners is seriously a great shop. Very professional, and they keep you up to date as they go with your project. The work they've done with the car is amazing. The axle geometry is great, the position of the engine is perfect, the mounting looks stock, it seriously looks like it belonged in there to begin with. I highly recommend this shop for any work on your car for you SoCal peeps.

 

I'll admit, there were times I wanted to quit and sell everything. I was really frustrated when the car was over at 5150 for 8 months. But everytime I looked at the car, I knew the swap had to have my name on it first. Taking it over to C&C Autotuners was the best move I made in the past 9 months. In less than a month, they have accomplished a lot.

So what are your own predictions on the times you'll run in June against the other fellow CL members? I still have no clue what you have done except for the H22 swap.

 

knowing Chris he say 2-3 weeks but he might upload video of a kill by next week. i can't wait to see this thing run.

Yo Chris...is this 3.5CL ever gonna make its way to Dallas? We'll set up a Dallas meet for Cocoa coming home meet. BBQ at the lake or something since its summer.

 

I would have done a shit load if certain things didn't go a certain way. Im putting the car on the side for now. I have some other issues whcih I need to attend to.
