Reply With QuoteHad some of my aluminum fittings welded finally. little things coming together.
Actually I still do:
I just start to touch it again. Time is next to nothing still, but finished a few side projects so plan is to gear up! Made it out to Woodward last night and that definitely helped to reignite the spark.
I managed to get the IC piping and manifold welded a few weeks ago finally too. Progress is progress. I may try to get some serious work done with the holiday weekend.

4.5 hrs of welding last night = huge progress. Exhaust mani, flange, WG flange, WG dump, Exhaust & v-band, ALL done just to name a few. More Engine mock-up pics tonight.

When did you move to Brighton? I miss seeing this thing every day.
Amazing progress. If you ever get some free time, I could use your expertise.

I like boost.
Actually moved back to Brighton 5+ years ago, then bought our house in Hartland 3yrs ago. I wish I had the free time like back then. At least now I can have the kids watch/help/play while I am working on the car. Hence the progress lately (finally).
looks good Kev,

I am one of Xceed's most hated mods...
Thanks. It's getting there...slowly. once the major fab shit is done, next major hurtled is getting the block hones/blueprinted then.....the Megasquirt sitting half wired in a box...
Thank you! I haven't given up yet.
Does this kia use the sirius II engine?
1992 1.8L SOHC Eclipse. Because slow car.
My DSM is slower than yours.
Negative.
t8D engine.
1.8L DOHC 9.5:1 compression stock
Block/trans seems very Mazda based.
Ahh okay, cause I've seen people build Hyundai's that have the Sirius II engine, which was both a Kia and Hyundai engine based off of the 4g6x engine.
I think that's where Hyundai and Kia got their bad rep from, the dsm engine

This build makes me want to get a little fwd 4cyl 5speed car that not many build up and try and build it up.
Kevin, it's been too long! It's nice seeing this car worked on again! I remember when it DID run
Good to see progress.
There's a trick to being whatever you want to be in life.It starts with the simple belief that you are what or who you say you are. It starts, like all faiths, with a belief-a belief predicated more on whimsy than reality. And you've gotta believe for everybody else, too - until you can show them proof. If you're lucky, someone starts believing with you - first theoretically, then in practice. And two people believing are the start of a congregation. You build a congregation of believers and eventually you set out to craft a cathedral. Sometimes it's just a church; sometimes it turns out to be a chapel. Folks who don't build churches will try to tell you how you're doing it wrong, even as your steeple breaks the clouds. Never listen.- From TOUGH SHIT
