Strizzy Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Figured out where melting plastic smell, I've recently noticed, has been coming from. http://www.strizzyphoto.com/photos/i-mJX3bWK/0/XL/i-mJX3bWK-XL.jpg That's the fuse block (in my trunk) for my dual fuel pumps in my surge tank. I'm not sure why this would suddenly happen, as I've never had an issue with it getting even remotely warm in the past. I'm going to replace the fuse block and fuses, rewire it, and monitor it the next few weeks. Other than that, I still can't get over how fantastic the car feels.

KBGRIZZLY64 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Glad I finally read through your thread. As it's been said several times previously, you're a trooper. I'm sure it feels that much better to drive it after all that trouble. Some good tips in this thread I'll have to come back and read when I start building my block to go to more power. Excited to see where you take it from here. Priorities change when car parts come into the equation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strizzy Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Stay tuned for the new build to be revealed soon. Motor and trans are out. Just waiting for the time to put the new stuff in. This round is voluntary. Everything was running absolutely perfect for over 12k miles.

Haight 05LGT Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I just read through the whole build during my morning cup of coffee (Which I ran out of 2 hours ago) Awesome build sir! I, like many others I'm sure, would have dumped the car a long time ago. Glad to see that you stuck it through so much bad luck. Good luck has to be in store now.

Strizzy Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 I'll just say that this build is substantially different than the last. I have all the parts, now it's just finding the time to assemble everything. My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strizzy Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Owner of OTL Performance is a friend of mine, and he is a distributor for Outfront. I got a great price and only paid once. My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, I was thinking you'd paid Outfront's price, plus markup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
