![]() 5/10/2011 new dyno run. 523RWHP Whoop!
Here it is as promised! ![]() For those of you that don't know I have worked with RSI over the last few years building what has grown from a mild stab to make the 300+ club to what is now the most amazing car I've ever owned. It started out as a daily driver, and now it's art in motion... Fast, blurry, tire smoke of doom, motion. This wagon is the culmination of effort of so many talented and loving people I feel blessed to have it. It made 450whp on a mu jnstang dyno with a completely stock intake manifold and TB. I'm shooting for 500whp after the new intake mani and a larger cam. Wishculmination I want to get right into the meat of the good stuff in this first post, but I will put the whole story in the third post ![]() Header - Designed, built by, and welded at RSI World headquarters GT3076R "twin scroll" turbo Twin Tial MVS 38mm v-band wastegates Tial "Q" BOV Full 3" mandrel exhaust Push to connect fittings for all vacuum lines Nathan's Intake Manifold! ![]() Transmission/rearend/Wheels: Getrag 265 Hydraulic clutch RSI 13lb flywheel w/60-2 VR pickup Custom 4puck clutch w/high pressure plate 1031 rear, welded w/3.31 gearing Team Dynamics 17x8 Wheels R888 255/40-17 tires.

So, I leave it to you. lol.

![]() What sucks is that none of these pictures really convey the abundance of overnighters, bloody knuckles, hand wringing, face palming, engineering, community, beer, love, and soooooo much more that it took to make this car a reality. There are many of you that have seen this project transform in person. Speak up. You deserve to be known!
It goes without saying that the RSI crew is the driving force behind this project. I can't say enough wonderful things about them and their company. Jonathan, Mitch, Eric, Ryan, and Pat all have some serious time and love in this car. I love you all. Thank you for all you've done. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by B-dub; 11-16-2010 at 02:57 PM.. |

![]() Here is a little background for anyone seeing this for the first time.
She has survived a family of 5, two teenage drivers, 2 dogs, several cross country trips, and being hammered to and from Snoqualmie Pass for 2 years. In the beginning I dubbed her "Project Volvo", but on here that goes without saying. I planed on running vanity plates reading 11swagn because my target et was 11.9. Years later I am on a completely different playing field. It was purchased new in 1985 by family friends, and it was gifted to me in April of 2003.(I got the year wrong in my IPD interview. DOH!) ![]() After ![]() ![]() And hood is now 5lbs lighter (who needs cf?!?): ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by B-dub; 11-17-2010 at 06:19 PM.. |

![]() Love it. Beautiful in person and in pictures. Glad to see the condensed down thread. Didn't realize how much thought and prep went into other parts of the car. What paint was used for the calipers and sway bar?
