alexanderig's slowwww build thread (silly lady)

[alexanderig]

well this is my 3rd car and my first real build. i bought the car with the stock ka and the sil front. the car is in good shape. this build thread will be slow since im only 18 and do not have the funds to go all out at one time. and props to enrique xfactor0707x for getting me on this forum. so here are the pics of her. ive decided to name her silly lady. the car will be a dd and weekend drifter. its making a squeeling noise i replaced the belts and its still going so im trying to figure out what it is.

i got the car with an interior but no carpeting and the ugly sound deadening showing so i decided to get to work. i didnt get pics with sound deadening but here are pics after most of it was out time to start cleaning. i plan to keep some of the panels but go for a gutted rear and paint the interior white. all wires are going to be tucked.

props to stephen manny and gio for the help thus far

more pics and a update tommorow

The front looks extremely clean as well as the rest of the body. Was it repainted when the front was changed? And what are your plans motorwise in the future?

[alexanderig]

i was planning on going sr but now im leaning towards a nice ka-t set up. and yes the car was repainted. at least i believe so because it is in really good shape.

nice start and sil front. for the belt thing i would look if theres any oil on pulley, if the alt. is going bad, bearing is shot, and i dont know the rest, so search

[alexanderig]

thanks for the suggestions and ive been told all those things so im looking into them tommorow

[S13k]

no problem, if its just oil, soap and water will do the trick

[xfactor0707]

Daleeeeeeeee. NICO Club FTW

[nightsauce]

check your alternator tensioner for the squealing. Make sure the belt downs have much play. Just fixed my squealing last week

[alexanderig]

Well i got a few updates. when i first bought the car it came with a bad coolant resevoir

then i ordered this from cxracing

in the mean time i used this

Now installed

i would not recommend this thing!!!!!!!!!!!! fitment sucked. i had to push it down in order to get it to fit.

I have other updates but no pics so ill post it tommorow

[alexanderig]

Happy christmas eve homies more updates later today maybe

[Idahos13]

Looks good so far man! Keep up the good work!

[alexanderig]

well i been looking for the solution to my cluster lights not working when i found an article on nicoclub. and i saw this pic and i noticed i dont have a TCU



so if someone has a TCU they can donate or sell me please lmk.

[nightsauce]

could be the actual light stalk itself too..i had that problem

[alexanderig]

since im removing my dash ima do it all then thing is i dont even have a tcu lol so i want to start there cause my fuses arent blown

[nightsauce]

dont even have to remove the dash for that one. just the plastic covers around the steering column and 2 screws on the left.

[alexanderig]

yea i know but tommorow christmas and saturday morning im starting my wire tuck so ill do it then merry christmas ill post an update in a few mins

[alexanderig]

Well i went to the junkyard and picked up some 3 point seatbelts and removed the auto seat belts.



I had always wanted one of these. my boy talk me into doing it now so i went out and got its called a wink mirror you can see everything lol no need for sideview mirrors



this is the where my interior is at right now. ive removed the sound deadening now im cleaning and preparing for a wire tuck then paint cant wait

[S13k]

good progress so far, just wondering where and what car you got the seat belts off of? Thanks and Happy Holidays!

[alexanderig]

Happy Holidays and i got the seat belt from an acura integra. just like the s14 seat belts the top small bolt doesnt line up so a bracket needs to be made in order to bolt the top one. i went and just looked for anything 3 point and black, and yanked on it to see if itd lock. if your stripping you car it removes so much clutter and wires from getting rid of those belts

[alexanderig]

so much for happy holidays woke up to my dads s2000 seats being stolen
