Been a while since I have updated this thread.....looking over the last 4 months or so has been interesting. Things day to day rarely feel any different but kind of cool to look back over a longer stretch of time.
Supercharger upgrade on the CTSV
Still have the snap on disease
Decided to redo the interior of the Supra
New sub woofer box
Geeked out on interior detailing
rewiring
One of the hardest projects I have ever done...getting this tweeter out and making a custom bracket to install the new one. Impossible to reach.
New door brackets
Final Touches on Sounds System
Rebuilding my sub
The seats in the car had been redone years ago but I was never happy with the quality so I decided to give it a try myself.
Much Better
Redid all plastic panels too
Really pleased with how this turned out
Built some computers for a local church
Purist Mods Porsche turned out great!
Final Product
another friends Porsche that turned out great (same guy that owns the CTSV)
I have wanted a GTR for a long time and finally pulled the trigger on one.....really like this car.
Engine was very healthy...16X PSI across the board.
Trans ended up being toast....dropped it and shipped to Shep for a stage 1.5 build
Friends Bachelor party in Nashville....stopped by Bearded Iris Brewing
2J project I am helping with
Date Night
My dog sleeps like this all the time lol
New snap on charger that I love
Shep Trans back
My BFF / Biz partner installing the Air Intake and Cobb Tune high 500's @ pavement now
After my detail guy hit it up
Picked up a 2018 540Msport....best daily I have ever had. Love the changes the made with the car.
New Chris Vector pistol that I am going to SBR soon.
pre wedding drinking....my buddy treated his best man pretty good
For about 1/2 decade I have schemed on getting a dyno....finally got one. Dynojet 224XLC
Going to use this to tune the Lambo and start doing some work for locals.

Yeah his Porsche turned out awesome!
Hoping to have the dyno up and running late next week. Just got a new computer built for it today and Im sure there will be some minor set backs with getting it all put in place...there usually is with this type of thing.
Let me know if you guys need some tuning done...or need a dyno for anything.
A dyno... jebus. Wish I was in your circle of friends. I am way over in Oregon. I love cars and tinker too but would like some buddies to hang with and work with. My Duramax is heavily modded and great for towing the fifthwheel RV. On paper I should be at 550hp and around 1,000 torque. My daily driver is an APR tuned 2013 Audi A6 3.0 Super charged at 450hp with torque to match.
Looks like your having a ton of fun. Keep on posting. Your work is inspiring.

Then move to KY
Ill bet that Duramax is a blast. I have driven some 1KTQ turbo diesel trucks and love the way the power comes on.
My buddy is a huge Audi guy and almost bought the A6...went A4 instead. I strongly considered an A6 instead of my new 540Msport. Post some pics if you have them.
Some nice cars in this thread!
I see the dyno is above ground with the 4 post, will you put it at the house or another location? It will sure eat up a bunch of floor space. My buddy put his setup like that outside under a gigantic portable shelter.

For now its at my shop and will be sitting behind a 4 post I already had....doesn't eat up much extra space at all.
My business partner is buying a new house in the country and will have a big metal shop building....and the dyno will end up there below ground.
Your friends setup sounds cool....never seen that.

And here I was thinking I was doing OK with just a C6 running about 14psi of boost through the stock bottom end 
Shop/dyno/etc looks awesome. I do a bit of tuning on the side for GM engines so I'm quite jealous.

Dogs are great garage pals. Does he have his own spot in the garage where he can hang out and keep an eye on everything?

Awesome documentation of projects / love the shop and equipment !!
Just read it all yesterday and today-very addictive.
Good to see you had no problem with the Maxjax- I installed 1 last year but coudn't get it to lift evenly side-to side- so after several hrs of bleeding /discussions with Danmar with no practical solution I returned it
What have you done to limit odors from shop work travelling up into your living area?
Once again great work!!
