Nice build up, not a huge fan of the pig nose but I think it looks way nicer with the addition of sideskirts.....Anyways your going with the CA, good choice I love mine to death, are you rebuilding it..... If so I have a brand new set of Beck/Arnley lifters collecting dust in my dorm room..... If you want them shoot me a price!

Hey mrgreeneyes, what's your e-mail? I need to talk to my dad, but I'm almost positive that next weekend (as in the weekend of feb. 1st) I can get up there and nab that shiz from you haha. I talked to didderson about it, but do you also happen to have a passenger side door with manual everything? He said you might have one from the coupe shell or something, and if you do it would make my life a lot easier. Thanks.

-Chris

alright nico, here is the point in my project where you will either love it or hate it. if it isnt your "cup of tea", thats fine and i do not expect everyone to like it. i like stuff that is outside the box and just a little crazy.

without further ado, here is pics of my snow/urban camo'd hood/center console bezel and smoked gauge cluster and my SEXY ARP studs and gorilla splinedrive nuts.

eat your hearts out













Yes, this will be my daily, and yes, i LOVE it. after seeing my hood, my buddy is letting me lay snow camo on his '06 wrangler x. its far from stock.

but yeah, feedback, you know the drill...

im half tempted to say that if you shipped it to me, id redo it. but honestly it isnt that hard at all, just time consuming to do properly.

you are more than welcome to email me with questions... i 90% remember the layout i did with toms off the top of my head... and FRsports' write-up is spot-on. its great.

mmmm, audio treats arrived today. these are some of the sexiest sub-$200 components you can get IMO... cant wait to install. They are Eclipse SC6500 2-way components. I love the way Eclipse products sound when amplified, so I cannot wait to fire these things up...

i bought that shell for $150 with a crappy blue interior in it, manual everything, base model. i transferred my entire hatchback harness into it, with the exception of the taillight areas, they are spliced with the coupe. my hatchback interior is going in this car, using as much of it as possible. i dont have the time, motivation, and extra cash to track down a full black coupe interior, but i do plan to have a full interior in the future. IMO, coupes look cleaner that way, hatches i like stripped.

yeah, its a sick obsession i have... i hooked up the illumination to toms boost gauge tonight and had the wire color/location right off the top of my head... its kinda scary. thanks for the props on the wiring, means a lot man, and im always willing to help with something that i know inside and out...

oh, WC, text me or something, we have business to discuss about a welded diff i dont need, a flexalite OG status fan, speakers, etc. maybe some S13 parts can be bartered, etc? since i have my tomei, i dont need the welded diff, which was to trade for the fan. so maybe you have some other treat that i would like in trade for a fan? and also, when would you like to pick up your speakers? lets talk homie, and you gotta come chill with tom and myself sometime soon, perhaps in hershey?

Just inspected these tonight lol. The center aluminum 'bullet' fixture is crazy nice. It even has rough machine marks on it which help shoot out crisper sound waves. Hard to describe. I love em. Tweeters r tits too.

not totally true, the woofer design is shaped that way to provide clarity and a physical structure to the cone/basket assembly. also, a lighter, stiffer cone delivers crisper sound, as it is able to respond quicker. less cone material=less intertia.

oh boy, its bedtime

and these speakers are amazing

tom just went sr a few weeks back and besides an odd idle (thats working itself out) it runs great danny's sr too now. i thought those speakers were going with ben and the old coupe. if u want u can have em back but their pretty beat. the one tweeter was bad and then the one speaker went bad.

i like the no back seat but i dont like fully stripped interiors. and when u pull the back seat u just see all the metal underneath which is really out of place with carpet everywhere else. i took a spare hatch area carpet cut a piece to fit and used a heatgun and aerosol adhesive to carpet the bare area

I really want to have mine on my car before it rolls outta the shop.
so if the wait is 1.5 months what does that mean. i wonder if i i can call and have them mark me a pair and when they come in i can order them.

or in 1.5 months they will have them completely in stock?

haha, the ROUGH build tally (aka the lowball) is at $5050 NOT INCLUDING THE STUFF FROM MY HATCHBACK... so NO camera for me... ill get niiiice shots when its all done... but for the build, its not that important as long as you get the idea of whats going on, right?

Well, after seeing it in person, the hood looks a lot better than the camera phone gives it credit for. Once it's all put together, it's gonna me pretty sweet. Tomorrow for me it's off to sports authority for some hockey puck engine mounts, then I'm gonna tackle the subframe and tranny. Courtesy of mrgreeneyes, I will have a 5sp in my car in no time. haha thanks again man.

here's your update:

there is no update. i couldnt get a ride up to work on my car, nor could i get a ride to the bank to deposit my cash so i could order coils. pretty sucky day actually. i will be bringing the car home sometime in the next week or two, to cut down on travel costs and to make this all easier and more accessible. i wont have the storage capacity that i have up there... but the car is close to assembled, so its not really that much of an issue anymore.

WC, i look forward to some assistance with this, as many people have flaked or just have too busy of schedules...

And to clarify for everyone, i had a 93 ranger for a daily up until last week, when the ford decided that its headgasket was optional... and that it didnt need it anymore... coolant in the oilcap FTL. so needless to say, im a total dependent for transport to my car, and even to my work at this point. it really sucks...

well tomorrow ill be depositing my money into my account so my order for PBM coils/rucas will be placed, and i will be getting tires hopefully later this week. also, i need to order diff shims for my tomei... shims from the nissan dealer... at $16/pair... but to stick with this build's premise... no cost is spared... ill pay for quality parts...
