There are only a few left, indeed. I can say with confidence that yours will be the only street driver CB7 with functioning water/meth injection system.

And I believe a twin disc racing clutch...

Well, I do have a water/meth injection kit on Lola with the supercharger went with a Snow setup. But pretty sure I bent a rod due to a lifted coil, and since buying a house, have no time to work on that project.

Looking good man, keep up the good work I wish I could be doing as well.

AHHHHH my favorite CB7! You do such an amazing detailed job on every bit of the car. SO glad to see it back together. Guarantee easy 500HP! That's awesome about installing the Meth Kit, very curious to see how it reacts. What fuel are you normally on, if I didn't ask already?

Interesting about your issue with the car turning off. I am trying to remember exactly what happened with Dao's car when we were street tuning but pretty similar with the Balancer Belt coming off & throwing off the mechanical timing. Glad everything was alright with your setup. No biggie, small mishap.

Thanks all. I hear ya Rilas, just in the process of selling mine and looking to move.
Thanks G! I still work on it a lot, just don't post as much here due to the lack of people.

Car is still at the tuners and he keeps blowing intercooler piping apart when trying to go above 17PSI. So..... not sure what we are going to do yet. Need better piping or weld more pieces together for less connection points.

Yeah maybe need to have it fabricated to the point where there are minimal couplers. Interesting you keep blowing couplers. How are the flairs/lips on the ends of the piping? Maybe even just having a new bead welded on the ends to give a better clamp would do the trick. Also, what kind of clamps are you using? I am curious because even with my setup on my F I have two weaker points that I thought I would sure have issue with but never did & have been to 23ish psi.

We were blowing off at 17PSI and I can see why. It's a Tredstoneperformance F22 piping kit and one piece in the corner was hand made and the lip sucks. The couplers are too short for the angles. Sooo i think for now I'm just going to order longer couplers and that will allow me to get a better bite and not have one part of the clamp coming off BS. + the air leaks were an issue. Eventually do a V-Band setup on all the pipes + weld some together.

The car is back and running great! Picked it up from the tuners the other day. We are at the usual 15PSI, 400HP, but now running a methanol injection kit with a whole new tune. Also different tires (FireHawk Indy500 - 205/45/17), oil change, new inspection. We don't slip on the dyno anymore but the piping needs to be fixed. The engine sounds amazing and really ...air tight. I'm not a fan of the vibrations so I need softer engine mounts. Right now I'm running the ESPs and no idea where I would get softer mounts...

Ahhhhhhh I'm officially moving! My f'n neighbors are driving me nuts. Lesson learned, you can find the house of your dreams but asshat neighbors can ruin it all. But....... you'll see photos missing from the MRT etc, as they are hosted off the home server. Temporary outage from Oct21-25.

Anytime I need ideas or motivation to finish my car I login and come straight to your MRT because I know there's always amazing stuff going on here. Glad to see the rebuild went good and congrats on the new Home!
