And this time im sure i'll be gettin it back.. while its been in there my mechanic has been finding small things that could use addressing on it and he has a bunch of work in there right now so this car has been a bit of a project for him and his minions.
Can't wait to see the bill for all these 'little' problems
Ohh its gona be slightley up there. My dads helpin me out with some of it until i get on my feet. I just need to have it moving before i get complaints from the township.
Hes an honest guy though he wouldent hit me up for somthing i dident need.

Lol you dont know your SD4's than. theyre actuley very fragiel engines. The one that was in it seized up suposedley.
I don't believe this. I will do my research on it when i have a chance, but how can a Racing engine be fragile? I mean, I understand nothing is "bulletproof" if you don't take care of it, but one would think a engine built purposely for racing would be a fairly tough engine, even more so when it's running at 300+HP.
But in favor of your statement, I'm sure something could have happened like low oil or a bad internal part that caused its downfall.

In the reaserch i have one them. there more or less one of thoes engines that you race the crap out of till it blows up. hell my IMSA only has 40K miles on it and the SD4 in it went within that time frame.

Ah, ok, I get what your saying. 40k would be a lot for a racing engine....that has been used in racing. Lol.

My car wasent raced (i dont think). its just like the concept with ferrari's and lamborghini's. 40K miles on a ferrari is the equivilant to 100K miles on your every day car. and the SD4 from what i gather is also not a street legal engine.

You know the more I think about it, I think this may ONLY be a Pennsylvania thing. Having 16 pages of a "build thread" and 2 full pages of actual progress..... I believe Hulki's "Project Thunder" thread is the same way. You PA guys really know how to shoot the $hit

My daughter's build thread is that way because she is a socialite and is a post whore. She feels the need to respond to every single post in her thread. But it's fine with me if the thread ends up 1000 pages with 998 of them being BS. The thread is still documenting the progress of the car. Maybe PK should bring the IMSA to my house to have Angelica work on it since he can't.
