DriftBoy07's Build Thread

[mRodiek]

you know how i roll cmon guuys.. lol sell your $hit and GET PBM! thats the PLANNED list but im alreading getting other little things like an oil pan etc.the perfect place to post your mods is YOUR OWN BUILD THREAD! make one lol this will also allow you to ask questions there

[tEknoS13]

nah, too lazy to be posting pictures and all. Besides I already have a "build thread" but its pathetic lol. I think its called project sileighty, started it like over a year ago and have not posted anything on it since there hasn't been a lot done to the car.

I might resume it when I begin restoring the car.

[mRodiek]

BEGIN?! lol dude youve been doin it for a while, plus itd give chicago a lil more press! we gotta set a good example for not only chi, but IL, and even the MIDWEST! lolpretty please

[tEknoS13]

Well I haven't touched it throughout the winter. (too cold) Plus I was unemployed remember? I just got a job at Pep Boys as an installer, so once I start getting cash you KNOW its on.

Don't worry I'm confident I will not let you and Chicago down. I got a lot of stuff in store for it so keep on eye out coming this spring!! Most people around here are into Hondas, its extremely rare to see a "nice" looking 240 around here.

[mRodiek]

lol i remember, ya just gotta get on it! i wont even tell ya what i do for an income because your not gonna beleive me and be pissed because its that weird lol

i NEVER saw 240s when i lived there, i did see STi's and Evos daily though

[tEknoS13]

yea those are common here. damn is your job really that bad?

[White Comet]

dude you have to tell what your job is now, i'm intrigued

[mRodiek]

lol its not bad..quite the opposite. you asked and i shall tell.my entire project, 100% is funded by babysitting! lol i work at a summer camp during the summer [making $$$$$ and 2 of the kids needed someone to look after them after school and asked me] so i get payed every week, in cash for watching them abou 17hrs a week

p.s. i play PS3, Wii, PSP, and texas hold em everyday at "work"

[tEknoS13]

Thanks tek-give me some good promotion if ya get the chance i think that you, WC, & i should just open an AIM buddy chat n talk because no one else is jumping in here!

Well good news is that my gaskets should be here tomorrow between 11-4, better than 8-7 like today .

[tEknoS13]

haha I'm sure people will be jumpin in here once you get your build going. Its always cool to know the UPS guy will be dropping off some goods, I usually can't sleep lol. I'm off, GL with your gaskets, post pics if you get to install them!

[spooled240]

after look at the jdm sr20 with all the parts, i thought this was a s15 for a split second lmao

[mRodiek]

yeah too bad i have to go to work early since one is sick, so hopefully someone in my fam will be home when it gets here-and since ill be 20min from home the rest of the day n dont wanna go back n fortth ill prolly have to wait til tomorrow to work on anything!

lol i thought that too before when i took the pic, what you dont know is i have one in my garage

[spooled240]

[mRodiek]

are you screwING KIDDING ME?! WHO THE HELL DO YOU...its a grand prix, learn your cars man! lol but seriously, got my gaskets in today finally. ordering some parts from enjuku this weekend depending on how much books are gonna cost me

[mRodiek]

ordering many parts this weekend.im stuck on motor mounts, i only need one but i cant find stock ones anywhere, anyone know where i can find some? if not i may be forced to spend the $150 on nismo's

[White Comet]

if my stock ones are in good shape you can have whichever you need. i just got nismo ones

[mRodiek]

lol well that sounds good to me, how much would you want for the nismos?

is there any REAL advantage to buying the circuit sports radiator hoses over stock replacement? i mean its like $20..lol not that im cheap or anything but if its not gonna help me then why waste $$ right?
Modified by DriftBoy07 at 3:16 PM 1/24/2009

[tEknoS13]

uh no there is no advantage except that they can stand more heat I believe which will make their life span longer. hey that is an advantage! lol plus they look pretty. I got me a set of Samco hoses they look nice

[White Comet]

lol nice try but the nismos are for me. i'll sell you my stock ones for cheap though like $20 plus shipping? lmk

[spooled240]

are you screwING KIDDING ME?! WHO THE HELL DO YOU...its a grand prix, learn your cars man!

what's the difference? I haven't read up on those yet

[White Comet]

[mRodiek]

yeah im gonna go with stock radiator hoses, my engine bay will be relatively simple so i was gonna buy black ones anyway. gracias

what kinda shape are your stock mounts in WC? pics?

what's the difference? I haven't read up on those yet

HEY! its only a supercharger, an extra ltr, aand a much sexier body line!it might not be able to keep up with SRs or KA-Ts but its a great super clean first car! n fast enough to beat civics and thats all that counts right?

[tEknoS13]

Good news!!! DriftBoy sorry for threadjack but, I just filed my tax return crap and im getting some cash. My head is finally going to the machine shop! Looks like I will be updating my thread lol.

Dude did you ever get to your gaskets?

So you decided with oem hoses huh, thats nice. Sometimes I wish I hadn't bought the pretty, blue Samco hoses and gotten oem too.^($110.00 too late)^

[mRodiek]

no threadjacking in here!! lol but that is good news! i havent gotten mine but im hoping for some extra money. i just finished puting together the intake manifold, put my stupid *** used the ORANGE liquid gasket they sent me and it makes my clean mani look like ***.

those radiator hoses i found were $38 for OEM and $59 for the CS ones..still some saved $$ill be replacing some hoses and getting hose clamps that dont SUCK this week. and i just placed a fairly large order at enjuku as well as phase2.

stay tuned! lol

[tEknoS13]

eh atl east you know you won't have a leak with that overlapping gasket material. Thats a nice deal for hoses, and I know Samco has some good clamps I might buy them to just because.

I wish I had a huge order from enjuku coming in..
