Horm2124 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Some of you may remember me from last summer. I was the guy asking dum questions and hoping my short block wasn't completely screwed. Just though I'd give you all an update. For those of you who don't remember... Got in over my head when I bought a 05 lgt with a blown turbo. Thought it would be just drop in a new turbo and go. Not how that worked out. The car sat all winter while I finished school. Finally called it I was in way over my head so I called slow motion motor sports out of Columbus Ohio. Me and drew talked out what I wanted from the car and my power goals and his estimated 2 weeks later ( actually took 2 months but only complaint I have over there work) http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160504/700e18bf38e5e068611b37e2a8577010.jpg And Here she sits. So on to the goodies Rebuilt short block Forged Pistons STI rods Nitrite STI crank ARP head studs Rebuilt vf40 with billet wheel Shines!!! Invidia catless up and down Slow motion CBE Slow motion intake Manual boost controler ACT Single mass flywheel ACT clutch http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160504/10ae818a79523674e70c4c6eb9da8f0e.jpg I love my car. Finally I want to say thank you. I got a lot of good advice from everybody on here in the beginning. It was just to late to matter. And I have learned so much lurking these last few months so thanks. I'll post some better pics when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StkmltS Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Ah cool, I was born in Zanesville. We only lived there for a year or so and my memories of the area are limited to spending a day or two a few times as a kid visiting old family friends. My DiySB rebuild Got Misfires?
