What's up Cafords peeps. Some of y'all will remember me, some of y'all won't, because it's been quite a while since I've been on any car forums. . Just checking in to see if any of my folks were still around on this site. I see some new names, but doesn't seem like much has changed around here, which is cool.

Where the homies at? Check in [patriot]

Whatup bro. Djing is going great. It's my full time gig now, & I'm typicaly spinning 2-4 days a week, sometimes 5. Can't complain, I get to do what I love for a living. Production, well I'm still doing it, but haven't had anything drop in a long time.

I'm still DD'ing my Cadi, & I still have the notch.... But, eh.... Let's just say the engine bay of the coupe has a vacancy right now [Wink]

Yeah, it's gonna be fun, but for now, the car will be sitting for a minute until I build up my budget. Being that I'm self employed, my car projects definitely had to take a back seat since my budget just isn't always there to throw at car stuff, plus I'm super busy these days with work. I kinda miss the Forum life though LOL.

Here is some pic whoring for you. I guess the only thing I'm proud of in this series of pics is that I snapped the crank, & cracked the cylinder walls with a whopping 300rwhp haha!!!!
[Eek!]

Here is the current state of the engine that came out of my coupe....

Thanks T... Yeah, it will be a bigger & better setup soon. Nothing too radical, just something fun & reliable.

Posted by Greasy (Member # 5258) on :

Hey Dustin, what's going on? I have been wondering what you are up to. I am proud of how well you scattered that 5.0.

Dennis. How are you? I've been pretty busy with my Djing career, glad to say it's going well. Yeah, When I yanked that motor out unaware of what was wrong with it, I actually laughed when I 1st spotted the piston carnage. Then was shocked when I saw the rest LOL

Posted by *EPIK* (Member # 7481) on :

Luckily it was only a high mileage stock bottom end hyper piston short block, so I wasn't too mad. It ran healthy prior to the carnage & I was able to pull of a 12.3 @110 with a crap 60 ft.

Machine shop said it looks like I blew both headgaskets & hydro locked the motor at high rpm

I'm good man. I had to deplete the fleet of toys and now roll in nothing but a beater commuter car. I finished my Cobra Faleen a couple years ago and was taking it to the track at least once a month but ended up shipping it off to Oklahoma to a guy willing to pay the price tag.

I'll be back in the game soon enough, but for now I'm just working on house projects lol [patriot]

Posted by SWITCH 625.0 (Member # 9322) on :

Hey Dustin, I have been good. I have been working on the Fox. I tore it all apart and had Ken's Custom paint it for me. (Ken's is currently painting a couple of Foxes for AED) Currently, i am converting to 5 lug & Cobra brakes. So I have been using my 15 year collection of Fox parts. Ha! I will post Pics soon.

Yeah, I've been pretty distant the last 2 or so years for various reasons. One reason was, when I got my Cadillac CTS-V, a lot of peeps started being haters because I own a GM. Also, the car hobby had to take a back seat for a while.
