I'm going to be getting the T2 "Blasphemous Can-opener" back on the street in the next few weeks. I just ordered the following today: Apexi Dual N1 Catback Apexi SAFC-II (Black) 14" Permacool electric fan 2- RC 1000cc top feed injectors I currently have: TO4 "P" (.60 AR intake, 1.08 AR Exhaust)(temporary) SS Autocrap manifold, 40 mm wastegate (temporary), & downpipe HKS SSQBOV Greddy FMIC Piping Ported NPR intercooler with modified end-tanks J-spec S4 upper & lower intake man. w/ throttle body Autometer Boost, Oil Pressure, & EGT gauges Autometer Dual A-Pillar Pod Optima Red-top Battery Walbro 255lph fuel pump I also still have to make some SS Oil Feed & Return lines, order the V-band kit & Silicone Intercooler fittings, remove the AC, and re-locate the battery to the back. I should have everything ordered by tomorrow but it looks as-if I have some work cutout for me. ;D I'm also trying to open up a business by the first of the month and I have some other stuff going on this month, so I may be a little scarce for the next couple of weeks. I will still make time to check in everyday and see how things are going.

I went and dropped off my turbo at Polk today, to get a v-band flange and have it welded on.
I also worked on the T2 today but I could'nt get it started. I thought it had lost its compression because of flooding so I unflooded it and put some ATF in the housings. It almost started once but it seems to be cracking to slowly. It also makes a random clicking sound while I try to crank it. The lights dim everytime it clicks. It went from running well, to this, in just one day. My guess is that the starter is f-bombed. What do you guys think? I'm going to haul it out to my friends garage tomorrow and hopefully get some work done this weekend.

I agree that does sound like a starter issue, my starter is going to need to be replaced pretty soon too.

The starter clicking is a sign of low voltage to the starter. If you still have the original starter cable you are probably exeriencing voltage drop along the line. It can be damaging to the starter and cable. And if it gets to bad the insulation on the wire could burn. I have a 4awg line that i replaced the original with when I replaced the starter.
also make sure you have at least 12.5v on the battery.

Well, I'm tearing the car apart right now. I'm going to go get the starter tested, and I'm going to replace the cable. I'm relocating my battery to the hatch and replacing all the grounds on the car as well. Should be lots of fun. ;D

Well after battling the King of Procrastination (my best friend Tommy), I finally got the TII trailered out to his garage, and got started on it. Right now we are still doing the ceremonial stripping of the car, and I'll get some pics posted soon. I'm working on polishing out my intercooler end-tanks, upper intake, and lower intake manifolds right now. Tonight I hope to find out what kind of shape the transmission is in after I gave it hell.

Well, I've decided to scrap the Greddy FMIC tubing and the SS Autochrome manifold. I've ordered all the tubing and mandrel bends to build my own, along with all the Stainless barstock and 1/8" thick tubing to build my own manifold. Should be lots of fun.

Hey drift are you going to go to walnut ridge on friday the first?
I plan to but not sure were to stay. My wife works for the AG's office and travels alot and says pokahontas is the closest place to stay. Jonesboro isn't that far either maybe 30 mins.
I'll be carting a set of wheel and tires inside the 7 if they fit. If you need some extra tii wheels I have two set of s4 Tii wheels and the set of 17's on my car. So if you need to borrow a set let me know.
Hope you get it finished. I still need to get an ebrake cable for the driver side and I may change the brakes out. Tom. I need to put back on the exhaust, I went ahead and painted it while I had it out for the clutch install.
If you want to caravan let me know.

Cool... I still dont know if I am going to get it done or not. My friend that is helping me build it is putting it off so much. It took him like 7 months to do a SR-swap in his 240 and I guess he thinks should take about 4 months or something. Anyways, I've got about 14 S4 & S5 15" "GXL" wheels with tires on them. I can let you use some of those if you would prefer. They are much lighter than the TII wheels.
It kind of sucks because the only thing I have gotten done so far is:
Car stripped Intercooler polished Alternator polished & dual pulley installed Turbo inlet housing polished Throttle body mod (removed secondary butterflies) & I've ordered intercooler piping materials, manifold materials, S5 transmission, Aftermarket Secondary fuel rail, and a Weapon R fuel pressure regulator and kit.
I still have a ton of work ahead of me. Installing all that crap in my first post. Wish me luck.

I will try. I never know when I'm going to work on it until about 5 mins before. Yesterday, I did manage to eliminate the rats nest and all emissions. There is nothing in the engine bay except the engine on the mounts. Now I get to start re-assembling everything. My buddy is all over my butt about plugging the oil squiters and running pre-mix. What do you guys think?
