One of the issues was my new clutch over extending because joe from zspeed didn't exactly know what size bushing to send. The next thing was having to get bryan to make new lower charge pipes because when bobby built my turbo kit he decided to go cheap and throw 2.5" piping coming off the intercooler then connecting to 3" piping that goes the throttle bodies. Major bottleneck for that size turbo. I also had him bore out my lower intake. He also had to fix a lot of items that needed to be addressed after bobby had my car for over 8 months. All of that along with removing my old motor, having a new block bored and honed, install a both heads, leak down test, injectors were sent off to be inspected and cleaned, and of course anything else that it takes to button everything back up and checked..
If it wasn't for bryan brooks (BBR racing) I'm really not sure who I would have used. He has given me faith again in honest people that do great work an for that I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I feel this time around the car will be right and fun as hell to drive. Now based that I'm really looking forward to the next project and depending of the new supra or z we will just have to see....

I hope they can get to it next Saturday. What was the hold up for today?
