    New video of my car.

    Today I finished up work on the engine. Its running great now.

    I was having huge issues with a lumpy uneven idle, and major hesitation going WOT off idle. Under 2500RPMs it had no power, and barely wanted to pull

    The valve clearance was set to .010 and today I adjusted them to a tight .012.

    Engine idles and pulls like a champ now :)

    and of course, a new video to prove it (pull to 6k in 1st, into second, then jump on the brakes.)

      Congrats Jordan.

      You must have a lot of confidence in your work to take it to 6k that early ;)

        Valve ajustment is fun 8) I did a "loose" .010

        Cool video, it sounds absolutely amazing! That sound on the driveway is nasty though. Mean looking car.

        I bombed Korea every night.

          Heh.. I let the cam glaze by letting the car idle for like an hour at 1500rpms. It should be perfectly fine. The bottom end has 35k on it, and the top end is like 1mile.

            Yup!

            Looks awesome. Sounds pretty mean too. Once it is one color, your car will look and sound very mean! :twisted:

                  It already looks fucking mean, being one of the only member's who's seen it in person in it's current state. Words cannot describe how BADASS this car is up close.

                        Wow. That is sweet. Love the sound. Looks/sounds powerful. Not much weight transfer on acceleration/deceleration, and the ride height is right. The body is right. Personally not crazy about the wheels. Not bad, but could be better, imo. I know you gotta be some kinda proud. :up: :up: (that's two thumbs up)
