it could have been better. it was fine in the morning but it didn't like the 80º heat later in the day. two runs then cool off. i never got around to really sealing up the radiator to the shroud so it's sucking in some hot air from the trunk. i think sealing it will help but i'm thinking bigger radiator for piece of mind. also, rear mount is stupid

Haha maybe. I was half kicking myself for not doing it but I feel simple is better. If I go drysump I'll put the tank back there to keep the weight in the back.

This car is very rad in person people pictures don't do justice. Meeee you havering engine problems the car seemed a bit underpowered yesterday at the track

Apex Eight · 04-09-2014, 12:02 AM

Amazing craftsmanship. Ya don't see this level of work often. Nice job man

lunarbomb · 04-09-2014, 10:14 AM

thanks dudes. yeah, the PCM was still self learning so i was way down on power. still fun but man did i want to link the infield and sweeper like the cool kids! hopefully i'll have it squared away by the next event.

Yea I'm not "invited" since I guess I'm not cool enough. #storyofmylife

conrad_s13.5 · 04-11-2014, 07:43 AM

lunarbomb · 04-11-2014, 04:46 PM

lunarbomb · 05-13-2014, 12:24 PM

ok, i finally sucked it up and made an appointment to get this thing tuned. it should be breathing fire by the next club drift. excite.

that's not me.

*DJPimpFlex* · 05-13-2014, 12:32 PM

This is good news!

Here is a unrelated pic.

lunarbomb · 05-13-2014, 12:48 PM

lol right in the feels! you must have seen my driving from the last event.

smokescreen240 · 05-14-2014, 05:31 AM

fastest build thread i've seen in a while. 5 stars from me!

aga · 05-14-2014, 07:02 AM

Maybe you don't need a bigger radiator, but more airflow to it.... how about deleting the rear side windows entirely and turning them into huge ducts?

Veltall · 05-14-2014, 07:34 AM

lunarbomb · 05-14-2014, 10:00 AM

thanks for the feedback folks!

aga, that's a good thought. to close the loop on that, it turns out the radiator and flow are fine. i just needed to go back and seal up the radiator to the shroud better. it was great at the last event. it was only 80º ambient that day but i'm calling the cooling system done. just need a tune!

lunarbomb · 07-11-2014, 06:59 PM

if anyone is wondering what happened to this car, i yanked the LS1...

and traded it for a coupe...

with crazy clean interior...

then i added the absolute minimum parts required...

and had a blast!

i'm going to spend some time getting back to basics and just having fun. the s14 will be back online in about a year with some kind of force fed japanese lump under the hood.

***FaLKoN240*** · 07-11-2014, 08:00 PM

You were doing pretty well out at Club Drift haha

*DJPimpFlex* · 07-11-2014, 11:28 PM

I'm disappointed but I totally get it. If you're not into competitions LS is boring.

xBtony · 07-12-2014, 01:14 AM

So much awesome stuff in this thread. Not a fan of V8 so happy to see it gone, but can't get over the attention to detail or awesome fab work. Keep it up.

lunarbomb · 07-12-2014, 09:56 AM

thanks for the feedback fellas!

i'm just broke man. i had to make a sacrifice to get my daily and street game back up and the LS drew the short straw! actually i had to dump a set of wheels too

lunarbomb · 08-20-2014, 09:39 PM

sad to say, this car is for sale as a roller. no engine, trans, seat, steering wheel and probably no wheels. accepting reasonable offers.

Long shot as I know this thread is 2.5 years old but does anyone have any updates on this car? Who it went to, current set up, if its still around, etc. The level of fabrication in this is too unreal for it to just disappear.

Malik · 01-18-2017, 10:10 PM
