Fast Intentions Stage 2 TT build by MA-Motorsports.

Spooler · 11-05-2020, 09:49 AM

I will through out some numbers so that all the dumbchits can get the picture.

My first build cost me a little over 50k. That is not all the mods I had done previously like OS Giken diff, Aragosta suspension, SPL parts out the wazo, Wheels and tires, etc.

My redo was around 25k.

For the folks who think they know best and can do it cheaper. Good luck and have fun. Don't message me bragging about what you know and how smart you are. IDGAF.....

I'd have been sleeping in the shed if I had spent that kind of $$$.

I have a good wife. My last 2 builds are here at my house. My 1969 VW Beetle that I spent a ton of money on back in the early 90's, time to redo it for the third time, and my 1975 Datsun 280zt. That one will be in honor of my next door neighbor and good friend Bill who got me started in all this craziness. I sure do miss him. There is only one dream that I have never accomplished, that is being a professional race car driver. I am now too old and broken to even consider that anymore.

Explaining what happened to the wife wasn't easy either. If I can help save someone the trouble, I will. That is what this thread's continuation has been all about. I could have just as easily went into hiding like everyone else has in the past.

You have a core group of friends here that love you and are willing to stroke your ego anytime. Just don't drop the soap in the shower. Because some will love you long time.

FIFY

Run, I have soap on a rope.

Sitting here wishing my new battery would show up. I hope I have it by the weekend.

Spooler · 11-05-2020, 04:43 PM

Ask and Ye shall receive. I got my new Antigravity battery in my hands. It doesn't weigh anything. Told the UPS driver it was a battery and he like to have fell over. LOL

Spooler · 11-05-2020, 04:44 PM

I was going to wait for the weekend, I don't think I will make it. Going in the car in 15min. LMAO!!!

Spooler · 11-05-2020, 04:45 PM

Where are my scales, I got to weigh this chit.

He's like a kid in a candy shop

Spooler · 11-05-2020, 06:59 PM

The numbers.

Factory battery= 33lbs.
AntiGravity battery with bluetooth tracker = 8lbs.

The Install:
Not too bad. Just have to move battery towards the cables to ensure it catches the hold down on the corner. I had to crimp my negative terminal connector to ensure a solid clamp on the terminal.

Man, this thing turns my car over crazy fast to start. With E85, that's a good thing. Especially when it get's cold. The Bluetooth tracker APP is cool as hell. No
more wondering where the charge is when the car sits for a little bit.

Spooler · 11-05-2020, 07:01 PM

I need to hook up the CTEK battery tender cables. I will do that later. I can no longer use a regular battery charger.

phunk · 11-06-2020, 02:34 AM

Let me know how well you think the factory tie-down clamp holds it.. if I should make a billet one or if stock is plenty adequate. (PS Folks, we sent him the one in the GT-R form factor case, so its noticeably smaller in the front-to-back dimension from a Z battery)

Spooler · 11-06-2020, 08:43 AM

Phunk, I had to move the battery all the way to the front so the tie down would hit the battery like the stock battery for it to hold. I barely got it to tighten down. I would make one that way I know it won't go anywhere.
