Project: Timmy the 240

[N0VA_zEnKI]

So it's been a long while since I've updated this, so I'll give it a whirl.

Found a pic of an autocross with MM I did last year. My buddy Ben behind me


Since then, I've done a couple things....

5 Lug swap all around, home to the new mustang replicas




Bought some cheap aero cause it was a steal




Nismo powerbrace


JAPAN!!! haha


I ran a drift event with the newly home-built motor



...and it fell apart halfway through the day. Stupid me running the wrong heat range spark plugs (plus too much boost on stock management) caused it to detonate, resulting in 0 compression in two cylinders.All four plugs blown to pieces



So I got to work on doing it all over again!




New door. yay. started prepping for a paint job that I'll do myself one day down the road. Still haven't done it



Started the rebuild



Went with forged internals this time. CP pistons and Manley rods


Honed the block


Put the puzzle together...








And into the car!!






And recently got a daughterboard soldered into the ECU for tuning purposes through the use of Nistune.




Also recently just swapped my front crappy brakes for a set of remanufactured z32 brakes. yay 4 piston



And now, I'm fixing up a stripped oil plug drain bolt and then I should be set to drive. Gotta do an alignment soon as well. I've been driving the new motor for a couple months now, and it feels great. Can't wait to get it back out on the track
