I used to work at Driven Concepts, was a short stay but fun, i hear there has ben a lot of changes over at that shop. the cars looking good. i hope you take it to a tampa area meet before takeing it back to orlando, i would like to see it in persion.

Jake, yes, there seems to have been a lot of positive changes over there, especially with the addition of Mike Young. What a talented young man he is. I will not be taking it to a local meet at pick up time as it will not be running. I need a few weeks with it imy self to put it back together and to finish the fuel system and hook up all the hoses, and such. But I will certainly bring it over in the future.

No, I did not get it out. it was not completed by the time this fiasco started. I have been in touch with Mike quite a bit. Ian is texting me. I will know more next week. I do not even have words for all of this...

ya its quite crazy, i do hope you get your car out with all of your parts.

i dont have a lot of faith in the shop remaining open, well see what happens monday as the word is the shop will be back open. lets see.

 

[lowboost]

wow I hope you get your car back!

 

[SC400TT]

Well guys, I know some of you have been wondering what is happening. I did have to remove my car from the last shop, and all of my parts. But let us not talk about that for now. My project is continuing, and I will get it done, God willing...

Here is one pic to let you know that it is continuing:


Much more to come, soon. I will keep you updated. Mike did a phenomenal job up to this point on my car. Once it is finished, I will let you all know who the fabricator is that is finishing my car, as well as the painter. Both are absolutely top notch.

Thanks Jake. I am even more glad than you. I do not believe anybody that has their car there will come out whole. Lucky for me that I did not give him all the money, and that I pushed them as hard as I did to get it done, ot I would have really lost out on the deal. Also, I am quite lucky that Mike Young (Fabricator) and Stan Karpinsky (Painter) are stand up guys.If it was not for their work and dedication, I would have lost big time. As far as Ian is concerned, well, I will keep my opinions to myself for now.

Yeah, I would love to hook up in a local meet when done.

A few more:


Bullseye Power BW Turbo close up, polished SS Turbine housing

Relocated the actuator and the arm to fit in the limited space

I thought you forgot that your project is still going on. LOL. For the intercooler on the outlet size (the intake size), I think it would be better for the wall angles to be rounded and smooth rather than its current sharp and boxy angles. I'm afraid its current shape will create air turbulence more than usual, and its velocity will be slower. This drawing is what I believe will create smoother and faster air flow.

 

[SC400TT]

Thanks for the suggestion, steve. I will look into it for sure...

[stevechumo]

That's no problem. We're all sharing the same forum.
