Post a Photo of your Car as it Sits Right now!

Same @gotovato . Same.

 

I feel you guys.... I'm just diving into my vvt job...

 

Here's mine!

 

Be thankful it's getting the vvt out of the car not in it haha It is not a fun job really...

 

Ya, I can only imagine!! I pulled the whole thing, because I was having clutch/trans issues. Good thing I did, this is what I found.

 

Sitting pretty in my neighbors garage for the winter.

 

Dang man! Yeah definitely glad you pulled it then and hope it all goes back together smooth and what not for ya

 

S3 install was completed. Just in time. Only 1/2 hr run time since, because this snow was predicted. So wanted done before snow. Rain later in the week though.

 

Does this count? Lol

sent from tapioca

 

This here folks is an extreme case of good ol' detonation! Lol

 

Winter spec lol

 

Full busticated.

 

Cleaned it up a bit. I need to do quite a bit of paint correction when my new pads and cream come in.

 

Something about a finish that is...so fantastic...and the Radium PVC plate gets a clean home...amazing parts washers too. The beginnings of good things to come.

 

I have a CX-7 but I'm crashing your thread anyway.

 

Is that cross-hatch in the cylinders?

 

Yes. Looks like 45 but was so fine on repasses can't really see last stroke of hone stones. As explained by machinist.. a sunnen fully digital automatic bore/hone bar head and cnc control of stroke of axis. Supposed to be better than oem, better ring break in + longevity. Awaiting bore gauges to measure and double check. Was nice to have bore edge chamfered correctly too. No fist shaving as I checked bore cleanliness.

 

Sounds like a legit piece of machinery lol My engine builder has zero things fancy or new really but they build solid race engines for dirt track cars. Needless to say I kind of wish I had more solid knowledge of exactly everything done to my motor. I know just not exact specs type stuff basically. I feel like my motor takes more boost to make the power it should idk..
