2007 Ls13 progress
bored and proud at the same time. so making threadz on internets.
I'm planning on debuting the car for 2007 at D1 this weekend or Formula D Atlanta as far as big events. Got tired of last year having a ghetto pos that broke at every event even thought it was always broken to being with, making whatever adjective would best describe more broken, which is either brokenner, more broken, or jankalicious. Anyways, here is an update of whats going on with the car and stuff, as I occassionally have people asking me, and since this year I'm not rushing everything, and job+family+selling stuff that I've had forever has so far equivacated to decent car build. New stuff: Painless harnesses, no more wiring problems sweet switchpanel Chris Tyler/Jason Murphy/Mikespeed/ XAT Racing Ls1 mounting kit Mikespeed guage cluster with Equus gauges 18'' foose nitrous all the way around Dunlop DZ101 demo tires, Sport max for competitions. Lea Anne Powell aka Girlspeed Inc/AIT Racing LS13 hood Addition of more nuts/bolts that werent there before...ummm Coming next week Drive Shaft Shop driveshaft ZOOM twin plate clutch XAT Racing/Header Mike Ranlet/Mikespeed/Chris Tyler Headers which do not require removal of steering rack to add/remove header, as featured with the XAT Racing LS1 swap package Flowmaster Super 40 dual 3'' Exhaust system with flamethrowers New wheels Bigger and better cooling system. Spectre Performance Intake, fuel lines, dress up stuff. Coming within the next few weeks Re-installation of last years LS1, with a fresh build, with Linginfelter Cam/head goodies, more Magnuson boost, Formato tune. New paint New B Magic Aero kit & Widebody 500 RWHP Dyno passes from idle to redline Same welded diff. Pics as of now:  front on shot, blower up top, oil pan on bottom  engine bay shot  a hood that closes and covers my motor, thats a 1st!!  OMG Gagues and stuff and non crappy wiring on a mikespeed car, oh noes!!  Rear view  Kind of a front view  nother front view  Another interior shot  Baller Thanks to Everyone at XAT racing Casey Higgins, Martin Struk, Chris Tyler, Mike Ranlet, Andy Carroll for putting in long nights and hard work on this so far Murph, Asian Andy, Joe, Jason Sink, Justin Somethingrussianouski, sk sean, and a lot of others, including my hot girlfriend who can do awesome bodywork. Also like to thank all the companies supporting my endeavor this year Magnuson Superchargers www.magnusonproducts.com Flowmaster Mufflers www.flowmastermufflers.com XAT Racing www.xatracing.com Drive Shaft Shop www.driveshaftshop.com AIT Racing www.aitracing.com / www.bmagicaero.com Equus Gauges / Innova Diagnostic tools www.iequus.com ZOOM Performance Products www.zoomclutch.com Six Speeds Inc www.t56rebuilds.com Foose Wheels www.mhtwheels.com Painless Performance wiring products www.painlessperformance.com Lingenfelter Performance Engineering www.lingenfelter.com Dunlop Performance Tires www.dunloptire.com More updates coming soon, maybe, but people keep asking so I thought now that progress had been made, I'd post some updates. Plus I'm able to actually take a little bit of pride in my car for once, so I kinda made a thread to show off the nifty doohickeys on my car this year. |

one of my favorite parts about this car was it was an all out competition beater, now thats being changed but atleast it will work well now. Go with the spotlights still those were badass, or even better mount some on the roof like a redneck bronco lol

Okayz, heres the latest info
got the interior reupholstered and did a dash swap, i think it turned out pretty tight. I'd like to get poptrunk, scissordoors, and lift it with some 30's on it, but well see how that goes.  Finished redoing fuel system, would have liked to have built non-ghetto headers today, but still playing phone tag with the guy I'm picking up my flanges from. Redid everything with real stainless line, -10 -8 and -6 marine / air force fittings and flipped the pump on, aeromotives are really pissed off sounding while tryign to push fuel thru the system, but holds a sustained 65 psi for a couple minutes no problems, ill crank it up to 80 tomorrow just to make sure, then back down to 65ish. Under where the hood goes when attatched  Started messing with intake stuff, but our TIG is down so I'll wait till its back up so someone can weld it together instead of using 90 clamps just for simplicity sake. redid all the fuel cell, not the cleanest install on earth, but gets the job done. Gonna remake the firewall again tomorrow or this weekend.  More updates maybe sunday or so, hopefully have the other few things I'm missing here by tomorrow or saturday, so hopefully burnouts and other related tendency video soon. I also have not eaten any pizza or taco bell today, but I have drank Mountain Dew and a good bit of Milk. |

by the way
since last time posting: went to FD virginia, oil pump took a doosh 1st lap, spun all bearings, havent taken motor to machine shop yet. last years motor, which got rebuilt with rod bolts, better bearings, cam, built heads, is back in the car now, put down 400 rwhp untuned on pump gas on dynojet on 4#. had some oiling issues with it, got those sorted out, then had a fuel pump go out, then just a coupe more bs problems, now the car has gone three events now with no real issues other than overheating after a LOT of abuse. bigger fans, smaller pully, and a tune are in the works, after that the car should be pretty solid (in theory and judging by how its going now). |
