My friend Mike is the one that did Slowhawk's cage. His website is in my sig. He hasn't updated it in a while. He is very anal about his work so it will be done nicely.

Ya I agree i cant stand that bending the rules shit get one fast run then a 1/8th pass then another run and get kicked out just seems like a pain in the ass i dont have time for that.

Wastegate V Band Welded up

Thats definitely nice welding, better than I can do but for the guy that did my cage(halls) it wouldn't fly. He is that anal.

I'll check out his site..............This welding was done in a small garage. He didnt even use any amperage control, no foot pedal or reostat on the butt welds. My friend is the same way hes real picky on welds i think it looks perfect and he says no i don't like it LOL

Hotside DONE! Going to fire her up tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Might be the pic but that looks low. When you come down off the launch might be hitting no?

Ya its a little low but almost 4" higher than the K Member so it should be ok. We could always move it but seems ok right now K member is 4" off the ground and the gate is about 8"ish

Nice Busenitz!

:klab:

Thanks. It came out great especially for having a small garage and freehand welds :)

If it's higher then the k that is all that matters.

Ya definitely made sure of that haha I've seen so many people with destroyed gates from the ground

Haha you saw the sneakers? Lol

^yeah man I have the blue ones NOTB had for like 1 week last spring: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gIBH3zw8Mz...0/IMG_5877.JPG

yeah if you manage to flatten the k frame and oil pan damaging the downpipe and wastegates is the least of your problems lol

Haha true that would be the least of my problems! ......that's not me wearing those shoes lol

SYA bars are a must. Atleast they will take 1 good hit before the pan.

Ya I was just going to make a set but might be worth buying since they are cheap

Those Save your ass bars will not fit with stock K member so ill either buy a tubular K member this winter or fab up some bars for it

Shouldn't have a stock k-member anyways.

Its more of a street car for now need something take abuse from speed bumps

Little Welding Video

Thats one way to talk yourself out of it.LOL My car has had the k-member for years as a daily. I purposely got the street duty k-member.

Haha I actually had one but ended up selling it for more than i paid. Ill get another when I want to spend the cash on an entire new front suspension. These damn projects I really am going to have to sell a lot of furnaces and air conditioners to pay for this shit lol

Don't worry, I'll probly be selling mine soon for some reason or another.

Ya its never ending with change on this crap. I gotta get another cam only so I have something to just beat the snot out of and just change oil!!

We have been waiting all year for this here are some pictures and a couple start up videos Not really much to say besides came out better than i even imagined. Not bad for our first Turbo build :) :) :)
Big Thanks to Ed Gildea for all his help with the Fab work and building an entire custom Turbo Kit!!!!!! I couldn't be happier with the build! For this to be done in a little garage with Limited tools I cant believe how it looks its one of the best feelings to have it running tonight!!!
Thanks to Martin for Help with the Cam it sounds just as nasty as you said!!! LOL

I'll Let the car do the rest of the talking!!!
