Well, here we sit at around 9:15pm EST, the night before the 'racing' portion of the FL CRX Meet, and here is where Jonny_Blacks car 'Tweak' sits:

You putting a K in that?

 

[Don_the_CDN]

Ouch. Well good luck with that. You still have 12hrs+ to go.

 

[jfrolang]

:shock:

I'd ask what the plan is, but I suspect it'll be a world debut at the track.

Maybe tweak is not a strong enough word any more.

Simple Green FTW!

[Angry]

That car looks like it was a y-49...(the yellow paint on the front)
Is that wht its in peices and its name is tweak? :lol: \
j/king

Well the block is still in the car, so Im kinda at a loss as to any ideas....
But it will probably have the turbo still.

 

[SETI20]

gasp!

You lobotomised tweak! You bastard!

 

[crxfisher]

What happened??? Did I miss something?

 

[cbp_crx]

good luck on getting it done in time, what are you guys doing with it?

Ok, so maybe some explanation is in order... well basically, the motor that was in JB's car was getting VERY tired. In preparation for the upcoming meet and race, JB was 'testing' it more often, which led to it smoking an absurd amount. Basically, the rings are eating themselves apart. It looked like a fog machine

So, i happened to have a spare block sitting at the shop with rods and pistons in it, so we grabbed it, and are installing the block in the car... sorta a last-minute decision.

So, we'll be here at the shop for a little while.

It seems i still cannot get away from last-minute wrenching before a meet... i've done something similar to this at least a few times through the years :lol:

HUGE HUGE HUGE thanks to our friends Jason, Jesse, and David who are here helping me and Jonny get this done before midnight hopefully So far, we're only maybe 3 hours of work into it... and the new motor is going in the car as i type this...

Oh and yes and "TWEAK" STILL IS a Y-49! :twisted:
You can't deny its heritage jon. :twisted: :lol:

 

[cbp_crx]

ah, sounds like you have plenty of time then.

 

[ComposiMo]

Done.... with a couple of extra modifications and fab work while we were at it :lol: Time to go to sleep
