Pretty much. you can still run one in masters against the KZs. Ive switched to KZ.

@@JordonMusser what was the big issue…..or issues with the Iame 175???

@@twinturbo3470 Just not as user friendly as the KZ, in the pits and on the track. Made it tough to find the right gear, hard to start, not really any more reliable than a KZ, doesnt sound as good etc ;)

@@JordonMusser oh wow……big fail on SKUSA

@@twinturbo3470 ya, less than ideal but where we are. :)

That is an AIM Solo. www.aimsports.com/us/products/solo2-solo2dl/documentation.htm

@@JordonMusser omg why so expensive for a timer

Thank you very much!

Saw that! I haven't been on the new tire compound yet, but either way that is fast! Ive been in the high 46s on the old tires, so we will see! I am sure Jake French would smash us all ;) (also, this video is the smaller "rental" track

Priceless? ;) The car was $18K- 11K when I sold the driveline, s $7K in that. You can add up the parts and get a ball park. Labor to truly replicate this would probably be $200K ish. I could probably do it a second time in half the time though.

So very cool. Much respect. I’m about to embark on my own journey in the coming days/weeks. How much would you say is a suitable or reasonable cost (labor) for an engine and transmission swap? Such as one of the brand new connect n cruise crate offerings from Chevrolet? Either LT1 with the 8spd auto or LS3 525hp with the 6spd manual (not sure if the 6spd auto is any good) The vehicle its going into is a 2008 lexus is250 6AT, rwd, sedan

@@jonathanharris185 Tough to say. This could range from simple to complex. It looks like there is a kit, so possible it could be done for around $10k, but there is a WIDE range in quality.

@@jonathanharris185 Hate to put a number on someone else's work. Also it varies, hugely. from $10-15k to hundreds of thousands

This is for creating strong structures when cross bolting, not down the tube. Hope that makes sense.

I was going to say the same thing!

Thank you!! Definitely need to some more videos. I have posted quite a few "shorts" on my instagram, but havent had enough good stuff to make a KZbin length video.

Definitely need to get on that. I have no rear shoes waiting for it, maybe I should finish these off in style :)

Thank you!

You too!

I tricked ya!! Definitely need to get some more videos of hood-rattery ;)

Thank you! It uses two tial QRs.

Great. Been driving it for a year trouble free. I need to do an update video on how things are going :)

@@JordonMusser That’s awesome. It’s an awesome looking build, I really like what you’ve done with it. You’ve done an amazing job and it will most likely be more reliable, easier to fix as well as cheaper to fix without that expensive Porsche engine. Look forward to seeing an update when you have the time to get around to it.

@@P-J-W-777 Thanks for the kind words!!

If you mean on the steering wheel that is just a piece of water jet cut carbon attached to a 3D printed holder. I use the factory clock spring to run all the wiring

@@JordonMusser yep that's what I was referring to. So it wasn't off the shelf then. I guess I'll have to think of some other way.

@@brycesnell6071 Correct. I 3D printed the back case, and water jet the front out of carbon

Thank you!

Yup, intercooler is now upfront. Kept the turbos where they are. Motor was refreshed and sold, and an LSR based motor is now in place. makes around 1500rw now. (vs 1200rw before). My IG has pictures of all that. Perhaps I need to do a follow up video!

Can't imagine ever selling it to be honest... but of course, everything is for sale ;)

enough. Well over 200mph

Thanks man! Half the fun is solving the problems during the process.

@@JordonMusser Absolutely. This is the engineering way! See a lot of cars slapped together with no consideration for stiffness, suspension, drivability. Something I feel Singer and others have addressed well. Your car is a great example of that. Not only that, but serviceability.. cause we know, things are going to break and/or need attention at some interval. Certainly requires a different approach to 'go fast' because with modern turbos and control systems.. making lots of HP/TQ is the ea$y part. 🤜

hold a case of whiskey!

@@JordonMusser Purpose built... for hauling arse.. and a case of Johnny Walker Black label!

thank you!

Thanks!

not so good, lol. high 36s.

16/26

Thank you!

yup. They (DKC) are fixing it. Ground the corners already, I heard they will re-spray the sealer with the proper mix soon.

Running great! Posted a bunch of new pics on my Instagram. I need to get another video rolling. Thanks for the reminder!

thank you!

I seriously hope they fix it

nah, not that much. If I had to pay for labor.. 250-$300k. Good thing my time is free 😛

@@JordonMusser I admire that you have more time than I do!! 🤣

@@zaknefain100 Like they say, you make time for things you want to do :)

@@JordonMusser True! I've always made so much time for my business stuff... and not enough time for my hobby stuff. The struggle for balance, is real. 🤜

@@zaknefain100 I feel ya. how I got this done as fast as I did is I treated it like a second job. I got home from the real job, and no matter how badly I wanted to go to dinner, hang out with friends etc, I threw on my work clothes and worked in the garage. I stuck to that religiously. Weekends I followed my normal work week schedule (up around 7am) and into the garage for a day of work. Missed a lot of "other" things during this build, but worth every moment. I was able to do 2-3 hours most nights, and 20hrs a weekend.

Thank you!

Something was up. For sure the tires are not as good as they were a few years ago. I think it was related to how cold it was. Wear was much worse at night vs day

Yes sir

Ya it was a beast. he is running a different engine. More bottom end, i had a little more top end.

@@JordonMusser What was he running? vortex?

@@fronoB IAME 175cc

Removing tape from radiator.

xgrod has it correct. Removing tape as the engine heats up. I use a sliding curtain, many use tape.

@@JordonMusser gotcha.
