barefoot bob

i better start getting naked quick for the law passes

ive done it 3 of my buddies have done it

keep it around 55 60 youll be ok better watch the 5er thow 1 freind started pulling his frame apart on the 5er.

i thought we were testing that weekend ????? :?:

im going to try to get my act together and start a build thread on james eyball. it wont be done till next season. but it should be a roller in about 3 weeks. were trying to get the other 2 cars out cause a jeep is next in line and james new car. and ssss . how do you like my suspension seat !!

shop is about 2000 sq ft

It was real squirly when I drove it out at Dumont and I was all over the place... so I played with the suspension.. changed tires and anything else I could think of at the time to make it drive and ride better.. Some things worked but it wasnt riding like knew it could so... after me complaining a whole lot, my wife said tear it apart and fix it... so the rebuild started... coming out nice and I am excited to get it out and adjust it.

Hope for the new car feel and smell when I get done lol

Capt

o it will smell alright ill make sure

I don't get it? Wasn't this a rebuilt to new standards car when you bought it? It turned out great, good job you guys!!!!

no there was alot of confusion on this point.the frame was brought up to new standards eyeball fab didnt own the car it was a customers car. the original owner. caused a bit of confusion in the situation. < its more complicated than that. however. eyeballfab did add a 25 gallon fuel cell at davids request. the frame was reinforced like the newer phantom cars. and they added a hood a new dash and extenders for side panels. at that time. then the used parts were put back on. builder didnt bother to inform david of the worn parts. most likely a busy shop schedual or whatever . the car didnt act right. david would call me and i was baffled. ive driven other eyeball cars and they act like mine.

so james and i said eff it and had david bring it down BTW: thats james shop not mine. but james and i build alot of stuff in there lol . any wase david brought it down. when it rolled out of the trailer a few of its problems became apperant. ride heighth was all messed up. front end up high and rear soft and squated.

after all the above work in the rear was done. ed the shock guy called to tell david the bypasses were way to stiff. like 20 compression and 15 rebound. i got a chance to talk to the original owners son. and it all came to light. the cars owner ( we call him the wheely king) had set the front end stiff and high and squatted the back to ride wheelys. no thought to dune ability. the owner of eyeball fab was his wheely competition. chris said he didnt know phill had done that.<(sneaky 1 upmanship) he noticed the car was a little squirly but wrote it off to the paddles. << extreme 36s which boosted the rear of the car up where the cranked front was not as noticable.

when david put the 33s on wala it was very obvious. we contacted king i spoke with brett and got the right valving. so ed could set it up. we also changed out the front springs to eleminate binding issues. james and i are very confident we have arrested all the issues. the car should perform as it was supposed to. we are trying schrader valves in the fron coil springs there supposed to work as a bumpstop and help with the load under extreme compression. we dont know how its going to perform on a lighter car but were hopefull.

the cosmetics were entirely decisions by david. he picked some really nice colors ( we did nag him alot )

but it came out sweet. i personally could not stand the old powder against the new powder. im glad he decided to repowder the old panels. once all the chroming and powder is done we have the front end to assemble and test. im confident that car will be great ( maybe a lil more fine tuning) the other smaller issues we fixed along the way.

that cars is gonna be bad a$$. its amazing how how you can find other peoples perssonal prefrences can ruin your own expectations weed them out and you get a totaly different car.

some of you know there was some contaversy when the car first got done. most of these issues were figured out. and eyeball fab has been very helpful while we weeded out the cars issues with free welding on the new mods. extra parts and what not. everything seems to be back in order. :sophie:

i cant wait to see the car after painter joe gets his hands it. and adds that yellow

HAPPY B DIZZLE MY NIZZLE :sophie:

Hey Bob,

I'm not a guru, mainly because I've had lots of good luck with my set-up.

It's a J35 3.5L 10lbs of boost. Stock pistons and rods. Stock computer.

Got five seasons out of it so far. Guess the trick is to baby it and it will last.

The Honda motors are like 10:1 compression stock,

so if you boost to 7lbs I'd suggest 110octane minimum.

At that boost I think you'd be lookin' at about 400HP.

Mine still runs hard on the peddle but doesn't idle smooth like it used too.

I realize I'm living on borrowed time with mine, but like Lee said,

Crusty can buy a short block for $1200 with a few valves too.

Hope that helps, and good luck to whom ever is looking to use the Honda power plant.

R-

ummm errrrrmmm randog you must have meant other people baby them to get them to last.

and if you can get all those seasons on a stock internal j35 i am completely convinced that motor is an excellent candidate.

chris is the mexican guy with that chenoweth lt with the vw in it . he camps with me and james and cpt its not powdered yet. anywase i think hes serious now got some good info on gd j35a4 from 20002 to 2004 from the odysee or pilot. found a stainless steel turbo exaust. a stock ecu stripped of the non essentials. we be lookin for a mo mo at the moment :sophie:

but yes i was waiting for you to reply here.

i heard he likes table topping beam cars why would he want an lt

which 6 cyl is the best one to look for to put a turbo on pump gas through ??

are engine mods needed for 6 to 8 lbs of boost??

what kind of power can you expect out of a honda v6 with a 6 to 8 lb turbo ???

nice lookin machine joe !! :sophie:

this guy here is the cheif trouble maker. his accomplishments outstrips capt litterbug/sh*t disterber :?:

Did anybody else catch the two dissasters that took place during the August 8th Night Ride?

Dissaster Number 1: The access road into the dunes was the worst I've seen in over 15 years. With the outlandish fees we're now required to pay just to get in, the road needs to be PAVED. Come on BLM, get off your a.. and quit counting the money. Start using it to maintain the road.

Dissaster Number 2: Why did the BLM have to show up for this event and harrass everybody. Every time I turned around, their lights were blinking. They even chased one racer off the start line with their lights and siren. Get a life BLM and stop harrasing innocent duners.

disaster number 3: the duners left there trash there on the ground

disaster number 4: leos didnt ticket the litterbugs

OBJECTION YOUR HONOR !!!! QUESTION HAS NOT BEEN ANSWERED. I RECALL BIG AL TO TESTIFY
