So yup, back at it again. Hopefully this will be my last build. The end product is going to be something Im going to compete in hopefully. But for now the build is going back as a street car till I can buy a DD.
But here's some history.
Stupid 7bolt died. SO.. Build #1 backyard build!
The car back in the day, FWD legit talon running a stock 6bolt long block
Had good times, then shortly following this event:
It killed a piston after I jumped timing due to dirt getting under the timing cover, advancing the timing/causing excessive cylinder pressure.

My original intention of the build was always to have a rocking fast well rounded car that I can DD that will go Mid 11's on a strip, and hold a candle up to an Evo's ass around a bend. As the build progressed, its lost more and more of its street car feel. So build 3 is going to go for full track car hopefully.
Here was the death of the bird. Not bad considering the "I should be dead or seriously injured" speed.
And here is the last few Hours, the decomposition of the bird, hopefully soon the rebirth.
Ill keep this thread updated, trying to get this build done in the next month, Would like to get the new chassis painted and looking good. That and the motor needs a refresher so the head has to go out to get a valve job, dunno if it can get decked again, hopefully it doesn't need a deck.
