barefoot bob Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Hey some jerk cut holes in your gauges! Quote
OGP Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Temp = 170... check Oil = 50... check Volts = 13... check Fuel = full... check Tach = 6000... check I think i got it, by the way, I’m going with black sharpie (can't go wrong with black) That dash is similar... Here is an updated pick of the dash... are you doing the build/assembly? or are you having it done? Jeff at bad medicine does awesome work and very very reasonable. You should give him a call. Quote
Sick Dayz Posted September 4, 2007 Author Posted September 4, 2007 Well, I drove to Phoenix Friday, picked up the car Friday night at 9:00PM, slept and drove back Saturday. Did I mention it’s a 12 hour trip… Justin showed me around the shop. Boy those guys are busy. They do some awesome work. Justin needs to move into a bigger place and I know he’s trying to… Unloaded the car Sunday morning and started at it. To answer your question, I’ll be doing the instrumentation. I’m looking forward to it… Here is what it looked like when I unloaded it. Here is what it looked like after DAY 1 And here is after DAY 2 Quote
ntrsandman Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 That looks sweet! Are you gonna have it ready for the test run at SM? I oughta run up to Jamestown and check it out in person! Quote
dunefreak Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Nice! Progress is looking great. I saw how well Crowdog's Revenge car turned out. Those cars are badass. I bet you are getting excited. Quote

barefoot bob Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 hey what happend hows it going wheres your pics is it almost ready ?? Quote
Sick Dayz Posted September 27, 2007 Author Posted September 27, 2007 Sorry, I’ve been neglecting this thread. Here are a few pics of where I’m at. Engine is in and plumbed. Seats are in. Waiting on the axles, which should be here this week. Waiting on the shocks from FOX, which will not be here for another 2 weeks. A buddy of mine made this adaptor for me: After I put the engine in, I tried to turn it over and blow the back out of my intake manifold, on a back-fire. Waiting for a new one of those… Anyone ever have this happen? Quote
barefoot bob Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 DAYUM !!! you better get kings you dont have to wait 2 weeks for them however kartek has an entire wall of fox shox wrap that thin up for kick off. Quote
Sick Dayz Posted September 27, 2007 Author Posted September 27, 2007 (edited) DAYUM !!! you better get kings you dont have to wait 2 weeks for them however kartek has an entire wall of fox shox wrap that thin up for kick off. I had to go and make mine special... I am getting 3 tube + 1 gold tube 2.5" for the fronts and 4 tube + 1 gold tube 3"for the rear. Justin at Revenge is placing the tubes where he has designed them for his car. Not sure if you're familiar with the gold tube, but it is a bleed tube, kind of like drilling a hole in the piston of the King shock. I like the idea of not having the bleed hole in the piston, that way you can utilize a very stiff shim stack for the bump stage and not loose anything out the small bleed hole. Guess I'll have to wait... Edited September 27, 2007 by Sick Dayz Quote
White Rhino Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 (edited) Holy from a back fire? That doesnt even seem right? That manifold must have had a hairline fracture? That car is going to NICE,, LOOKING GOOD!!! Edited September 27, 2007 by Paul Rob Quote

That car is going to NICE,, LOOKING GOOD!!! Yah, I thought it might have been damaged while I was pulling it out or putting it in. Who knows… Quote
dunefreak Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Looking good! As for the manifold- if you had a big enough backfire it isn't too hard to blow those plastic mainfolds apart. Quote

bp-guy Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 Nice looking car and you might be one of the lucky ones that got your car.. I was reading on dunebuggy.com that Justin might be going under soon. Alot of creditors are after him or something to that effect.. That sucks he builds a great car. Quote
Dusty Rhodes Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 Don't believe anything you hear about Revenge Racing from Dunebuggy.com. The a$$hat at Dunebuggy.com has a vendetta against Justin and spreads some pretty vicious and untrue lies about Justin and Revenge. Quote
JoeDuner Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 SWEEEEEEET............ This car is going to be insane!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Sick Dayz Posted September 28, 2007 Author Posted September 28, 2007 Nice looking car and you might be one of the lucky ones that got your car.. I was reading on dunebuggy.com that Justin might be going under soon. Alot of creditors are after him or something to that effect.. That sucks he builds a great car. There is bad blood between them. I don’t personally know they guys at Dunebuggy.com, but I do know Justin and he is a straight up guy. Ask anyone that has one of his cars. Also ask other people with other cars, that he has helped out. There were some business dealings between the two that didn’t go well. Justin will be around for a long time and his cars are a work of art. One of the best suspension guys around… Always 2 sides... Quote
bp-guy Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 Good to hear that. I met Justin and he was a great guy to talk with. I was able to get a ride in one of his Predators with him many years ago. Very nice car! Quote
barefoot bob Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 kick up your final biuld pics :freakin_nuts: Quote
