Ghostknife's #383 Track SS/SC

Welcome to the party, Thad!

I know it sounds unlike my usual behavior, but occasionally I skulk about the new posts and do not comment at all! A little like "Big Brother" without "the 12 minutes hate".*(a 1984 reference)

Power port added!

Exhaust should be here by end of next week, other than that I got the new I/C in. Positive is that it fits better than the first, Negative is it “looks” too small. Per the Calculator I found for sizing this one is good to 450hp.

 

[Ghostknife]

I'm all for stupid-short exhaust off of a turbo, but yours, at least in that picture, may be a bit tooo short lol

it’s a little longer now!

YES!!!! THATS PERFECT!!!

 

[Ghostknife]

Yea it fits well. Should be getting the base tune tomorrow for first fire. And I still have to drop some stuff off for powder coat next Tuesday. All I can do until it’s warm enough to get out and rip.

 

[Ghostknife]

New tow rig! lol. I still have my truck but Mama wanted a new ride. Loving it so far!

You better squat that thing before it becomes illegal in your area….

I’m already working on the Carolina squat for the Goblin

 

[Rauq]

a lot of the squatted trucks around me (which is a lot of them) seriously think this way

I try not to bash on anyone’s automotive desires. We are all car guys and that a good thing………B U T…… that’s the dumbest trend ever well there’s stance too….and a few others

Squat? Hmmm, when form finally triumphs over function we will all be good looking corpses; and if we're lucky it will only take about 2 weeks. :the Anti-Oscar Wilde

Hey hey... don't leave out those stupid fitment wheel trucks, too.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Which stupid wheel trend? The stick them completely outside the wheel wells:

Or the wheels with rubber bands for tires:

Or the jack it into the sky and don't have enough money for tires to fill up the wheel wells:

Choice #1. Fitment.
It's not "stance" because it's solid axle.

Between my schedule, the weather, and the kid I have not been able to get out and do the shake down run on the goblin. I’m on nights this week so maybe Thursday or Friday.

 

[Ghostknife]

Took the car out for the maiden voyage, it drove. Thinking the ZZP oil return is getting me, getting oil pushed out the turbo on acceleration. Hope I didn’t mess the seals up too bad. Worst case $130 mistake and I’ll rebuild. Regardless I will be pulling the oil pan this week and tapping the upper pan VS the drain plug return.

 

[Ghostknife]

Also, Dang the straight pipe is loud lol

Does your sound like mine? Great down low, but a very angry bumblebee up top?
