fuck that...I wanna see some burnouts!

 

Now that's the motivation I need! Oh there will be plenty, With a little boost and an auto its gonna be so easy

 

 

A lot more work to go but finally stuff is getting started

 

How cute!

 

Thank you sir-

 

badass!
do you follow alxxpress on IG?
He's my very close friend's uncle...he's been turbo'ing fox bodies for a long time...
first fast car i ever drove was his 280 on 26 pounds...first burnout i ever did was
his 70's corolla we called the peanut

 

I do not have IG but Ive been thinking about getting back into some type of social media. Sounds like a cool dude with some good builds though, this should be a burnout queen

 

lmao
if I recall correctly...this bitch likes to wheel hop more than anything...
but you probably already have the traction bars.

 

Hahahaha yup no wheel hop here. Aftermarket upper and lower control arms and of course welded in subframe connectors. I have tooooooo much money into this thing but its been with me for 15 years lol

 

and the value has done nothing but APPRECIATE!
Good call, man...you'll have had 2 decades of fun and lost NO money on it!

 

Little more progress




Finally had a decent amount of snow so we tried out his Christmas present. He wanted it to have a motor lol

 

Yess! White and a Notch! No better combo in my opinion. On top of that, Coyote swapped AND a big snail! So awesome!

EDIT: Just read the entire thread. Well done on the TL! Love everything done. I bet opening your garage door puts a big smile on your face haha.

 

Thank you sir! Yeah I’ve put a lot of time into both cars. The TL is so awesome though, it was neglected before I bought it and I like where it is as of now. In the spring I’ll do a photo shoot of both cars. And hopefully a burnout pic of the notch haha

 

ur a cool dude

 

That shit won't be done... Don't get us excited!

 

I feel the love, it is mutual

 

Probably not by spring but Im hoping to at least hear it run by then. Kinda intimidated with all the final details, plumbing and wiring, gauges etc. But Im just happy there is progress

 

I bet! I would love to have a project like this one day. As you know my truck is getting a new motor dropped in at the moment. Down the road when the truck is rotted out, I can pull the 6.0L, that is going in, and get it bored .030 over and put that into a body and boost it! Maybe by then I will have some funds saved up to pay for it! Little do I know I will probably have 6 kids and be living off the state.

 

Hhahahaha that is a pretty good plan. I f I were you Id just get that truck done and then get the bike done and have some fun. You could always just boost the truck that way a couple kids can have fun in the back!

 

Front suspension overhaul is undergo. Passenger side ready for new parts

 

So I went with oem ball joints, oem upper control arms, nsk wheel bearings, and got some pci compliance bushings from a member on here. Also replacing outer tie rods and sway bar end links

 

 

Turbo fab is all complete except for the bov. I am super impressed with my friends work, welds and location of everything is awesome. Now I need to keep up with the progress and start wiring and plumbing. To keep the car a street car I did not want the exhaust to dump out the front, so the exhaust goes through the driver side fender/suspension area. I’m hoping to keep it sleeper as possible but as soon as that hood opens it’s all business.

 

nice works, the only thing that indicate "street" car is that car on the street.

 

Hopefully this car sees the street this summer. Lot more work to do!

 

the ultimate sleeper lolol.

 

Honestly it should be fairly quiet with the turbo and the muffler I have. It’s a v8 auto with a small snail that makes just a whittle boost. Put in drive and cruise. That’s the plan

 

 

Lower bj’s,wheel bearings, and pci bushings in. Did a quick spray job on them. Oem upper arms are already in. Next up is painting the Brembos

 

Had Breezy timesert the calipers for preventative maintenance. He’s the man

 

oh well at least now I know who to send the Brembo caliper to if my KBP one ever stripped. lol


Cant wait to see how it drive once everything put together.

 

The guy is an animal. Once he got it he had it back to me in like 2 days. And yes, this thing should drive really well I’m hoping. It wasn’t that bad honestly just want to get it all done at same time

 

The compressor I used to media blast didn’t do the best job so after this pic I sanded the rest by hand

Self etching primer


Can’t wait to see them on with new rotors

 

 

hot sex.

 

oh dam, the caliper remind me of the Nissan 350z and G35 back in the early 2000s tho.

 

I torqued all the suspension down with the arm jacked up. I think the calipers look great. Just need to install the rear calipers n brakes, bleed them, then I’ll get a pic with wheels on

He can’t wait to go for a ride

 

Very nice!

 

Oh hawt damn!
