S14 - Migets and hookers and blow, OH MY!

Nah, most of the shit they carry is cheap shit.
But since I will not be using them daily like a mechanic, they do just fine.
But my sockets/wrenches don't come from them. Usually Craftsman and Gearwrench.

Just put an order together
Radiator, Clutch MC, speed bleeders, PS lines, lots of AN fittings, and some misc crap.

Still need a clutch line, but that will get ordered later after the motor is fitted, so that I can get the right length and not have to mess with it.

All this for a daily??
Yikes.

Because I want a Monster to take me away from work as fast as posible

More tomorrow

So I'm pissed as hell.
My guy was going to get me the motor flakes out, and I'm stuck with a project, a budget and nothing to make it move.
Working out some kinks out with some other suppliers to get me a decent replacement, but the cost has increased form the usual hookup I can get as this is way too short of a notice to come up with something worth the $$.

But on the good side, brown santa dropped off some more goodies.
AN fittings for PS and some speed bleeders


New clutch master


some plugs


And my favorite - Griffin. Because playing with Koyos and Machimatos are for ricers and their offspirng.



Not working on the car this weekend - weather is shitty and I got to go get drunk at some wedding.

What did you pay for that radiator and what is the part # please?

so when are all these parts going on?

who welded your control arms ?? those look awesome!!!!!

radiator was $195, don't know the PN too lazy to look up.
But it was either 26 or 27.5in wide. I know I was debating between the two, seeing which one will fit better.


Need to clean up the engine bay and paint it before putting anything in there. But soon.


Arms were welded by magic mighty midget in some shop. LOL

Came up with an idea, that instead of getting AIM dash to get one of these.

01 ZX6R


04 ZX6R


99 R6


04 YZF R1



thinking of running a v8 signal to tach so it will show double the RPM and make new overlay for it, and I'll be needing another converter to make any speedo work, so thats not an issue.
LMK what you think.

i think you were hittin the sauce too hard at the wedding yesterday

i like the 04 R1. interesting idea if it works...

Nah, the stock cluster sucks. Kouki one won't work with it and these suckers are dirt cheap. Plus you'd have something to fab up some awesome brackets for

I'm actually thinking of going with the first one, as I will have my brother's bike to test it out on (although he's got a 750, but Im hoping they're the same)

I could leave the RPM signal alone and it will read true - LSx is weird like that, only V8 that sends a 4cyl signal to the tach.


R1 is nice and comes with shift light, but I don't really like that one. I was trying to find newer R1 which has only one LCD, as it looks cleaner IMHO.

great not only do i have to wire it up but now i gotta fab brackets too?? wheres my gun..

whatever, you know you're color blind anyway.

I've been reading up those FSMs for a while to figure out what is where,etc. that shit is all on me. And besides, too much fun stuff goes in there to let you play with it all.

I'll have you making me headers and exhaust and shit. Besides, you got some shiftknobs to make or couple cars on your driveway to worry about, or start playing with my S13

Why did you go with the Griffin Rad?

And I like the instrument cluster idea. I also like the '04 R1 cluster. After that I'd prob pick the 99 R6. I like the idea of a digital speedo. Have you looked at any other Bike clusters?

Griffin - rock out with your cock out, thats why.
Fuck Koyo, Fuck Muchimiatchi bullshit. Let all the gay nico faggots get that shit.
Full custom - better cooling - half the fucking price.


180MPH on the clock looks way better than digital. Plus analog is easier to read. Remember this is going to be alot further away from me than it is on a bike. So the more I think about it, digital readout is one thing that will not be such a hot idea, especially for a DAILY!

Thats a lot of custom shit for a daily.

Not really.
I just can't afford some other shit I would really like to do.
I need this thing to be running this summer.

if things go right, I just might have it this weekend.

"The V-Series used the LS6 for two years before being replaced by the LS2 in 2006."
Even Caddy knew LS2>LS6

no.

the cover.

oh, yeah, its cool I guess.
most likely not gonna rock any covers tho.
With the plans for the little things inside the engine bay, chances are that cover isn't going to fit in there.
