Thanks for the info! Looks like everything is coming along nicely. From seeing your previous work, I'd expect nothing less.

 

man is looking very good. what are you plans for this build? drift, autocross , drag?

 

I don't drift, especially with the cleanliness of my car. It'll probably see more drag/highway runs than anything else... I want low 11's high 10's.

Juiced- I'm not trying to make an epic build. I'm just trying to do things right... Thanks for the compliments.

 

sweet ,lmk when is ready . so we can add another fast 240 to the list

 

Today, after work, I started tearing into the engine bay. I wasn't really going to touch anything in there but, I have a rust spot on my passenger side strut tower and I want to get it taken care of before it consumes that entire side. I'll have to move my fuse box because of the massive VE intake manifold so, this gives me an excuse to take care of all the dents, random holes, etc... With that said, I'm contemplating getting some mild tubs. Nothing crazy just a slight raise toward the frame rail for more clearance. Id like to run some wider tires under it in the future but, it's just an idea I've been kicking around. I'll get it painted factory Ruby Pearl and may add a touch more pearl in it to give it a kick. The outside of the car will be painted in the future, but for now I just want to get the bay taken care of so I can get it on the road again. Here's the progress after 2 or so hours.

 

Well, this past weekend I took a road trip up to Mazworx. Man they have some cool ass projects going on. I would love to have a job working in a shop like that fabbing and building top of the line products known the world over. Anyway, I wanted to get the cam's degreed in the VET and I don't know of any local place nor do I really trust some joe-shmo garage to do it. So, the motor took a trip and is currently with Mazworx getting the cam's degreed and a custom water neck made for the VVL head, to tie into the S14's 1" water line that comes off the S14 SR head. Hopefully I'll be able to go pick it up this weekend, if not I have plenty of other things that can be done...

I'll get more pictures of the engine bay, but I've gotten quite a bit stripped. I'm tearing it all out. Once it's stripped I'll start welding up holes that I will no longer be using or werent used in general. I'll probably keep a few random ones here and there and just use those black plugs to fill them. I don't have any pictures on this update but I'll post some soon of the car stripped down.

Ah, my wheels came in last week as well. 18x9 +23 18x10 +20 Weds SA60M's in Matte black w/ machining. I'll snap some photos of those as well for some peeps to drool over. Thanks for looking as usual.

 

Your brackets will be mailed tomorrow. I've had a hell of a week fixing stupid crap on my car. I didn't forget about you!

 

It's cool, no biggie. Car is in pieces anyway.

 

Well, here's some of the pictures... I'll be removing the brake lines and clutch components together as a unit. Once the rest of the components are out I'll bring the grinder and mig home to start patching holes and getting it sanded down for paint. Anyways, enough blabbering with boring BS.






Here is that rust spot I need to or get taken care of...


And here are a few shots of the wheels... This is just one of my rears... It's got a nice deep concave face, can't wait to get a picture of them on the car. I'm impartial to black, so they may get coated a gunmetal color in the future, but I want to see what they look like on the car first.

 

those weds look really nice!
