got lots of welding to do first - than LineX the bay.

i guess i just like smooth, shiney paint. probably why i hate flat colored cars for the most part.

nope nothing shiny like that - think flat, like the intake manifold on my engine.

shiny stuff in engine bay is for HIN fags, high dollar hot rods, and people with too much fucking time on their hands or on speed.

I got better shit to do than worry if my firewall is clean enough.

I guess.... it is YOUR car. Still going to be sweet when its done. I think S14's with LS1's are insanely cool. There was one at HIN with like a 454 in it too.

not much progress today - too busy getting shit done on Zoltruck.


Finally was able to put rear on the ground. after trimming the hubs, all is well again. Shit is low.



Still rocking a failtown fitment - how much fail exactly you ask?



3inches. from stock S14 wheels. Yep I can fix that later.




I think I got to unload some of these.


I only need a pair.

Earlier this week I blew some money on AN stuff. That shit gets expensive quick, LOL. Some of it arrived yesterday, more to come this weekend.

fuck yeah it does. just making a fuel line cost me a good amount.

Oh yeah, my 6cd changer/mp3 player showed up. Got to plug that in and test it out. Gotta love OEM stuff - just plugs into stock harness and works - but better

OK, so today was fun.
Besides driving all over the place trying to get things done, I actually got to work on my car.

Started off by playing with a 4" cutoff wheel to get this


Than a quick trip to a buddy with a welder to weld shit up. I got to play with it some more to get better at this shit.


Than installing the steering rack and making it a roller. Its awesome to have it roll again and not a jackstand queen Front end will go down once I install coilovers.



And to finish off the day, I fixed the fail fitment in the rear. Still needs work tho.


But the bad news is - the damn CD changer is broken, won't load CDs. Im pissed. But the radio worked great, so there is hope still

Thats not fixed.

thats also not the rims I'm going to run, and is the best thing I can do for right now. Besides .75in vs 3in is a big difference. Don't hate, its just a roller.

So i got this emblem from my brother and it was so awesome I had to put it on. :p

I know its ricer shit, but its going to go on the S13 later.

OH..............................................
Ok.

Motor went in today. Had to check clearances and shit. Front crossmember looked good, no more cutting needed.
Need to BFH the firewall to tuck the motor back as much as I can.
Shit look good with the motor in. Can't fucking wait.

Besides that, pulled the harness - Its beyond hope, so I'm just going to take the plugs from it and start from scratch.

I need to look for a local driveshaft shop - anyone know of one?

i wanna see this thing in autox.....

2nd gear all the time - gotta love torque

DHL sucks

Z32 BMC is done

Diff is ready to be broken in. I just might put it in this car to do so.
Backlash is tighter than a 5yr old.

forgot updates - oops.

Mostly I've been playing with wiring. There isn't really any part of original harness that wasn't either hacked up or melted. Even the main power for the trunk relocation didn't look up to par.

So tech-flex goes on, plugs are getting re-pinned, etc.

New main power wire is done. Flex'd, lug'd and ready for DC.

Started to look for tires.. thinking 235.45 - 255?.40

Trying to stay away from bikes as much as I can and get this sucker on the road.

Still the parts pile grows a little each week.
I can't wait for it to start getting smaller.

Yesterday, picked up some wheels

Today I sold a door and bought a seat.

Fun.

pics of wheels.

c'mon now.

pics of wheels with no tires and not on the car - pointless, IMHO, especially in a build thread. no?

Centers need refinish. So I just need to decide on the color.

So we got the motor in. Welded up some engine and trans mounts.
Now I need to make sure they're lubricated, so the welds won't brake.


Clutch master is done, fabbed up a simple bracket for it. lines need to arrive, along with rest of AN fittings for power steering lines.

is that a stock ls?

and plans for more power?


and yes i do know that there is more than enough in a stock ls

sweet!

stock LS
LS6 intake mani. - but I don't think it really counts.
will have longtubes and dual 3in, so it will have little more I guess.

As far as more power - we'll see.
I just want to get it on the road and see how it feels.
And power is so easy to get out of these things.

oil for the mounts !?!?!? i told you when 2 pieces of metal become one friction no longer occurs there .. but what do i know im retarded..
