Now it's time to get busy!! Went with Travis and his dad Bob to pick up the new toy yesterday, definatly like Christmas in June. Thanks goes to John for the build and all the help he's done, also nice to have an engine builder get your stuff out on time.

Now we gotta start mocking all the accessories up and get ready to seal it all up. Seems like their isn't much but i'm sure there's a million little things we gotta do or change, there always is. Still gotta a couple things up our sleeve but I'll post those pics once done.

Re: **The BLACK COUPE Build...from "JYD coupe" to "True10.5 Showcar"**

Well she's finally back hoppin and poppin....literally!! It's been 4 months in the making but the jyd coupe is back alive. It's been hectic but it's finally nearing completion, and saturday was the culmination of it all. After deliberating for about 30 mins about what's left and what are we missing Travis finally made the call......it was time. Fired up on the first hit and that 3/4 RV cam was thumpin. Congrats to Travis and his dad Bob for the getting it back together. They want to thank those that helped in this project including Duane Busch, Sam Vincent and John Monn for putting this killer little piece together.

Now she's off to the chassis shop to get squared up and hopefully back in time for Texas Heatwave. After that their's a couple little things to change but then she should be ready.

Debut coming soon........

Re: **The BLACK COUPE Build...from "JYD coupe" to "True10.5 Showcar"**

First outing was last weekend and we had to make an extra effort to get out their. Had been working on car all week and at 3pm on saturday car was running great idleing and then just dies. Finally figured it out at 9:30 when everybody had already left for Midnight Madness, of course it was a damn fuse. Needless to say that 1 motor pass was a turd. And we found out just how tight the converter was. As in 1.8 60ft, LOL

Fast forward a week and we're busting our tails to get it out their. Find out that the car only has 11.5 volts and it's not charging?? So 2 alternators later, alternator testing, battery testing, new battery we come to find out that alternator is not ground Boom fix that and we're all ready to load up for th Atomic Dog Big Grudge Race in San Antonio. Needless to say Travis isn't going out their to run it on motor so our "2nd" trip down the track is going to be on the bottle. That's what the car is setup for and their's no time to be #####footing around on the motor.

Well it's hot as hell out their and I mean hot. Temp was around 107 NOT counting the humidity:eeek: I will say that the converter it still too tight even for the baby shot we have in it as you will see. This sucker is setup for a healthy dose of spray.... Given the track conditions, converter, amount of spray, and tuneup we had I'd say it feel pretty damn good to be back in the 8's on the 2nd pass on a new motor in this hell ass weather. Not to mention the 60ft is off a TENTH alone from the nitrous converter....she's just going to need some bigger pills and she'll really shine.

Enjoy...

Getting the cars loaded up and ready to go

Re: **The BLACK COUPE Build...from "JYD coupe" to "True10.5 Showcar"**

Crazy it's already been a year almost to the day the car made it's first 8sec pass. How times have changed.... Finally after a couple months being down and adding some new gadgets she fired back up tonite. It was a project but Matt and Travis finally got it knocked out. Travis has the first 12v car with Trevor's Race Car Control system. It's pretty badass and everything is on the touchscreen instead of the overhead panel that was previously in it. Still have alot of getting used to but it's pretty damn cool. Basically an Iphone for a car it controls everything. Also added a Fire Supression System for added saftety. Hopefully it's one of those things that never has to be used but just in case it will be there.

Should be back to the track in very short time stay tuned...

Re: **The BLACK COUPE Build...from "JYD coupe" to "True10.5 Showcar"**

Well we we're finally able to get out and play with the car and learn a few things with the digital 7 and the new control system. Dont know how we ever did it without one and we haven't even begun to really get into it. Still have alot to learning to do but it sure helps to have some information to see what the car is doing which was key.

It was a cold night...well at least for us with 38* temps. Very different from Wednesday when we ran and it was 80* and humid as ####. Damn Texas weather. Track was pretty green heard they tried some new compound from VP but can't confirm. Just know we saw and heard alot of peddaling going on and 4-5 cars we first saw blew the tires off. Wasn't much heat to the track by the time we got to run around 9:15 or so.

1st pass car launched great and then boom slammed down and backfired. Never saw it do that before but the digital 7 said it all. .56 into the run and it's already on the rev-limiter. Ouch!! We couldn't really do much but pull as much timing out as it would let us and remove the 2step and just leave on the converter.

2nd run she left great as to all our surprise it hooked then made a slight wiggle around 150ft out and skated it's way down the track. It left good but I had no idea how good. Cut it's best ever 60ft of 1.19 with no bars and some old ass 28's. Definatly have to give Manny's Custom Chassis their dues he wasn't lying when he said we'd hook in a wet car wash.

Decided to make 1 last pass and just add 1* of timing and leave everything else the same. So i'll let the pics and vid speak for itself......

Re: **The BLACK COUPE Build...from "JYD coupe" to "True10.5 Showcar"**

Thats one badazz ride! Glad your getting everything worked out!

 

Re: **The BLACK COUPE Build...from "JYD coupe" to "True10.5 Showcar"**

Nope surprisingly it didn't hurt anything but nicked a muffler. The headers and more importantly the oil pan we're untouched if you can believe that. I'm sure if the car was slammed down on the ground it would be a different story. We'll get it sorted out and back out to have some fun.

 

Re: **The BLACK COUPE Build...from "JYD coupe" to "True10.5 Showcar"**

It's about time for an update with some new upgrades and pics and better yet some new video's of our progress. To say Friday night went good would be an understatement, other than not gettin a first pass till almost 11 at night it was all worth the wait since early December.

Travis and Bob have been hard at work trying to get the car ready for the new season and things are starting to heat up around here. After the wheelie incidents (AHEM) the decision was made to put some training wheel on her to get her calmed down so we could see where the car stood tuning wise. Once we get a better handle on it we'll take em off and go from their. As you can imagine the headers didn't like those wheelies much so they had Manny custom build a set of front exit headers and I must say they are pretty damn badass and the car sounds like a whole different animal.
