sorry i cant satisfy you, jeff

most everything from you PA guys builds.

and then a few others.

and yeah, PA knows where its at. my build is one of necessity that turned into a build of "well, if im gonna do this, might as well do it big" kinda builds. it will be everything but fast and pretty. suspension, tomei lsd, seat/interior and audio first (its my daily), then this summer-ish i will be building the CA for the "fast" portion. i still wont care if its pretty lol, i like it like this.

pfffft what a softie!

Well ok, so maybe you have something on me... driving style (cavy style atm here )

well, my guy fell through on the 5spd swap sale, but the guy's garage that im doing all my work at, just bought 2 240's tonight (go figure) and may need my stuff. ill know by tomorrow night. i kinda owe him a big favor for my car inconveniencing his garage space, so he has a temporary dibs.

pics are loading from my phone to a mem card, then later today, ill upload all pics ( i took a ton) and post for you guys' visual pleasure

Ok, just let me know. The 5sp stuff is the last thing I need to do to my car before I'm satisfied, so i really want it haha. I have the money in hand and I can dive up there to get all the stuff. Thanks.

^ this guy puts the stock carpet sound deadening insulation back in pfffft what a softie! Well ok, so maybe you have something on me... driving style (cavy style atm here )

haha, tom, she will be loud outside due to exhaust, and loud inside due to stereo treats, but i dont want the two to mix. and its good thermal insulation too. and with suspension, 2way diff, etc, there will be a lot of roadnoise to kill.

My color of choice:

My snack of choice:

My sleep reducer:

My brand of choice:

My heater:

And finally, my garage space of choice (yes there is an R33 bumper there):

Ok, I also want to thank all my friends who come out to help me countless late nights getting this thing roadworthy, especially Didderson.

"Boo, less reading, i want to see the car" - NICO.
Shut up NICO, here's your pics.

Here is why you dont use a crappy six puck (even if it was free, as was my case)... it will leave 1/8" grooves in your pressure plate/flywheel. weak pressure plate let the thing slip a lot, and just wore the thing down. The following pic demonstrates thoroughly, my thoughts on this setup:

So i got myself a nice oem exedy/daikin piece. no pics of that yet, cus my motor is in a dark corner of the garage and my cam phone hates dark shadowy areas.

Here is my armrest area, 1 USB port for my radio to read my jumpdrive, and 2 12v outlets for cell charger/gps charger (and cus when i shift, my arm would bump into anything plugged into the factory outlet)

Oh, and here is why you don't buy Ksport coils... cus after less than 4 months, they will pop, leaving you with this:

so uh, dont make the same mistake i did... just do it right the first time!

More pics on the way.

More pics of them later, once i mount them up on the bumper support.

Mounted/fitted the sideskirts today. Couple pics:

I like them a LOT. they are fiberglass... of which im not a fan, but for the price i paid, i cannot complain.

Oh, and i rolled my fenders...

LOL at the superflat roll... function at its finest...

And the pig bumper and lip were painted/fitted too:

It was just me at the shop today, so this is all i got done from 7PM-12PM... not too bad.

Probably wont be able to work on it again a lot until this weekend. Work sucks... ill have to take a few days off soon so i can finish this thing.

Still to order, as soon as they are in stock:
PBM Coils
PBM Rucas
ARP studs for the front hubs

And my tomei comes in tomorrow, so i am taking it and my s13 open diff to Landis Transmission (great shop that i have had work done at previously) to have the diff shimmed/gear mesh set/ etc. I figure its best to leave it to the pros. considering its a $1k diff...

I will soon hang my Q45 brakes and SPL lines. Motor and trans will go in asap, couldnt do it today cus its a LOT easier with 2+ people and no z32 sitting in your way (refer to pic). I didnt get nearly as far as i wanted to this week, but I am very worn out right now from work/working on this car/ working on friends cars... so as soon as i get some rest and some treats in the mail, ill be more motivated and finish this thing with a fury

wow man, sorry i snapped. it wasnt a good day... no hard feelings?

but the props are much appreciated and are what keep me motivated to finish this cursed thing... it is a LOT more work to build, than it is to tear apart. but im close to done now, just waiting on suspension, diff, wheelstuds, tires... all the footwork really. oh and exhaust... and custom intake piping. the body is 80% done. just need to paint doors, driverside sideskirt, second coat on trunk and roof, and the hood (which will be done very differently)

keep the comments/critiques/etc coming!

2. my radio (pioneer dehp6900ub) directly reads and controls USB mass storage devices. it is connected via usb extension cable directly to the back of the radio.

its coming along nicely, those sideskirts look awesome in person. as soon as i finish up a few things on my car and have time i look forward to lending a hand on this

i need more of the cig outlets radar detector, radar jammer and another radar jammer. lol so i need three instead of one.

-Chris

ok man, its yours man. next week it is. email me asap tho so we can get this setup concretely

What you planning for the rear, if at all?

Car's looking good. Keep it up, with pics of course :P

Man, I really want your lip and skirts What you planning for the rear, if at all? Car's looking good. Keep it up, with pics of course :P

Thanks, I love the lip/skirt combo, they line up perfectly. No plans for the rear, except, way down the road maybe bings rear addons. but for now, im fully content with the present stuff

And pics will come.

but i did get the motor and trans in, and started to put my wheel studs in. the studs were ridiculously easy to do, i was pleasantly surprised. just hammer the current ones with one good swing of a 5lb hammer, and they pop right out. mad easy. so i have some pics to follow this text of the studs, and a comparison to the child-like status of the stockers. stock looks SO puny compared to the oversized studs, of 20mm more than oem. and you can peep my cool new sticker... because MY TOMEI DIFF CAME IN THE MAIL. i was quite the happy camper today.

pics, to satiate your inevitable need for visual stimulation:

gonna go up tomorrow night too for a little.

i made a list tonight of everything i have to do yet. there is a crapload more than i thought... ill post my checklist tomorrow, as it is 23* here right now, and i am comfortable in my warm bedroom, dont feel like freezing my arse off right now to go grab a list...

it looks sexy. i'd stick my output shaft in that

haha that is a good one lol, coming from an ex post whore. still trying to spread those PTD's huh

yea school is screwing me over as far as working on my car. but i did get 515 dollars today from the school.
so i will be getting stuff to go back to work on mine.

hey you guys want to come over here and finish up my body work. that would be great.
