For those of us who dont know, whaT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER BUGGY YOU HAD? Edit: Dam caps lock, sorry.
Kevin
It went to one of our prospects, he is swapping all his gear into it as we speak!![]()
So you sold him just the chassis and you are building a new one for all your "old" running gear?
Kevin

Kevin
The only things from the "old" one I am using is the motor, but i freshened that up and added some go fast parts, the rear end and the tires and wheels and winch. The rest is new stuff. My old chassis was 3-4 years old, time for a fresh start. Some bling should show up tomorrowI will post a pic

Speaking of he should have a build thread also......For those of us who dont know, whaT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER BUGGY YOU HAD? Edit: Dam caps lock, sorry.

:thumbsup:
Will you be able to get the valve covers off without the header having to be removed? Looks close but its probably just the pic, I'm sure you didn't have alot of room to work with. Awesome job Dan!!!!
no you cant. you must sacrafice things to have some other things the way you want. there is not very much room. the driver side is kicked farther forward to keep away from the pedals. there are lots of things that have to come out to get to others. thats the way small buggies are.
Fair enough, awesome none the less!!
PS. T-Carp, adjust those valves before the final install!!![]()
Already done, remember I went thru the motor and put a new cam and stuff in![]()
wholey spagettilooks like a rats nest of exaust
![]()
j/k looks good dan too bad still won't keep up with my toyota :flipoff:
oh and at least you can still get the sparkplugs out with out removing exaust :thumbsup:
mine come out fine with out removing the headers![]()
well did ya get that idle issue resolved if not ill try to ponder it longer. thanks for the call i was brain numb after 12 hours driving. helped me wake up a bit.
No didn't get it figured out, I have no clue what the hell is wrong, I am so bummed I am bout ready to give up on this thingThis sucks I am really doubtful I will even get to wheel this year at all..........we noticed that on the headers only two of them were gettin hot
I don't know whats up hopefully you will see something I didn't or something
![]()
no worries ill put some time on it to figure it out. soemthing just isnt hooked up is all.
What is the idle problem you are having? I had an idle issue and it turned ot to be a simple vacume laek that was hard to see. A little hose came off it's port.
Kevin
dies at idle but they get it to run fine if given gas, sounds like an issue with the idale air control unit to me.
It is the thermactor air diverter solenoid
as aposed to the one way zener diode check valve?
If not all the tubes on the headers were getting hot you should check each injector connection to see if they are pulsing with a test light, then check to be sure each cylinder is getting spark . I get my night scheduel today. I'll come by my next night off and give you a hand if your not rockin by the time I get there.Don't Give Up!!!
Hell yeah we figured it out!!! Acctually Trout did, HO motors have a differrent firing order than a non HO 302. DOH!!!!! So we switched them all around and it runs GREAT!!!!!! Sounds F-ing awesome with the cam, look out hengl!!!!!![]()
That's funny I;ve heard the same story on marine eng's.Hell yeah we figured it out!!! Acctually Trout did, HO motors have a differrent firing order than a non HO 302. DOH!!!!! So we switched them all around and it runs GREAT!!!!!! Sounds F-ing awesome with the cam, look out hengl!!!!!![]()
yup thats true. Some have reverse rotation as well. Cheers to you guys!
I am glad that everything is working. I know that when you are that close and something goes wrong, puts a damper on things.
Looking good, do you have an eta?
What's up with more pics?
Got any recent ones to post up??
The whole rig is like a mythilogical creature. it will never been seen out, just talked about......
It's fawkin Sasquatch??![]()
I will try and post some up tomorrow when I get it back from the exahust(sp) shop. It is so close!!!! I am getting really pumped to drive this damn thing!!!! I want to wheel this summer. You might see it this weekend depending on trouts schedule
Its at marco muffler gettin exaust done, go by and see it![]()

sweet ill work on mine then. stopped by to check it out today. damn carp you need some serious heat sheild, or header wrap.
Well its a no go, too much to do and not enough time time to do it. I built the transmission and messed up something up in it so it has no reverse, and I let all the smoke out of the wires alsoso instead of trying to go up I am pulling the tranny on friday nite and taking it to the tranny god (smurf) on sat and then throwing it back in. I may cruise up in the superduty on sunday to hang out and eat some tacos. So the NEXT deadline i will try and make is the last calrocs event in sept.
I swear come hell or high water I will wheel this f-ing buggy this summer wheeling season!!!!!! If not it will go up for sale. I do not want a snow wheeler I would have just bought a damn snowmobile acctually 3 of
themSo a huge thank you to everyone who helped me try and get this thing on the trail! Dan, mike, and Tilton esp! Sorry I let everyone down
![]()
That stinks. but better to not rush and have more issues though even though im sure it is a bummer. It will be running in no time though. If you do not make the next cal rocs that does not mean summer is over. Drag it to moon rocks or something. You will wheel. No selling it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We'll see how it goes..............
I WILL STAB YOU IN THE FACE IF YOU SELL IT
I will buy it, and part it out and then melt it down, all on video
I see...........hmmmmmm...........I may have to think it over a little, cause the face is really my money maker
No, I will cut it up before it leaves the building and no one will ever run it.
funny, i just remembered my car #. its #985. weird
383 close![]()
as for me at cantina thats a negative.too much work to do!!
Fawk.
I actually went out and bought beers that were NOT Coors lites just for your ass.![]()
I guess I gotta choke those down myself.
Well its a no go, too much to do and not enough time time to do it.
Fawk.
It's all good.
It had just better be done by October, when the "you kinow who" guys are cruising thru town.
im pretty sure you will find people to drink those.Thats good shit.
yea its weird because i have been trying to remember it since i sent it in. and I looked at the number in your sig and BAM. 985. birthday, just drop the one.
Yep, get it done and take it to moonrocks. That would be cool, short drive for me![]()
Plus, JiMMy has that new mobile home thingy, he could get that in there
yes it will get done and there will be NO selling. Trav has put a good amount of $$$ in this thing and time, as well as trout has put alot of time and done some amazing work. And i have also put my share of work with grinding, gear oil changing 2x which is not my fault it leaked b/c the guy gave me the wrong silicone, and running around all over sac picking up parts, pizza, and last minute registration, so i will be damned if this buggy does not get done My dear (trav) and Mr. trout.
Then SAC UP and fix that tranny tonight!yes it will get done and there will be NO selling.

new boobs? Nice!
very nice kids!!!!!!!!!
How many degrees do you have the front coilovers racked back?
Nice!
Why does Goodby look pissed?
because t-craps is done and his is not![]()
How many degrees do you have the front coilovers racked back?
around 20
Are you running offset spacers inbetween the coilover tabs and the coilovers? I only ask because my front coils were setup very similar and the front wheel under full compression and heavily loaded up would break coilover shafts in half from binding in the tabs. Just trying to mabey save you some $.How many degrees do you have the front coilovers racked back?
around 20
there is no binding. the tabs are 90 of each other. they cancel eachother out.
sweet Jesus!!! Looking good looking good.... And no, im not talked about the buggy!!! :thumbsup:
well does it run better now?
yes! :beer:
Lookin good Trav! Even Steph has been busy bolting on stuff![]()
