Non-Vibe content: New friends Mercedes..

Post by Sublimewind »

Hi all,Some may know this car... I recently met Jacob, I had been seeing him drive this beast and every time I drove past with my Subie, he'd wave.. So one day I just decided to go meet the guy. His family owns a few large fab business in my area, so he was at one and I just said F-it and took the plunge.. I'm glad I did... He also does work for AMS to BTW... some of that shown at the bottom... The guy has SKILLZ... (sorry for the cell camer pics)Ohhhhhhhhhhhh the beauty..... Some of the specs:MFI swapped over to EFI Electromotive TEC stand aloneIntake manny built by him (he "learned" how to TIG with this project..lol)Exhaust from the head to the tips built by him... GT35r .55 arstrut mounts built by him and brother, full pillow ball.. Built engine mounts the car is a rocket.. 1st is useless, 2nd is practically useless, 3rd it like an orbital launch, hazes the tires at the top of it... Stopped in at his shop last night in fact and he showed me some things he's working on and playing around with... He was working on getting some fat TIG beads laid down... Just messin around.... Enjoy..
