HoGG Build : Project Mayhem

[mattscar]

$50 paint job? Looks hot.

[bt2s14]

Looks ok but I wouldn't have gone with yellow

[sprintman]

Looks ok but I wouldn't have gone with yellow

but its your car so its your choice

[Hogg]

How often do you see a 240sx thats yellow, NEVAR! thats why :P

Yellow and black will compliment eachother nicely too.

coat 7 didnt go on so lucky, its been nothing but stress and it totally F'd everything up, so Ill leave it looking like crap until my sideskirts arrive... mount my whole body kit and go from there - its pretty annoying to spend all this time and mess up on the last coat so it looks like crap

[Hogg]

VH45DE has landed...

Half this is gonna be gone...

Threw this in for kicks, Caught my buddy looking like a cave man...

More pics at midnight, with valve covers off, manifolds off, oil pan off, and electrical harnessing off!

See ya then!

[S13Teddy]

Oooohhh. I'm sooo excited!

[TKE SigO 258]

It's gonna look good!! Can't wait to see the final pics!!!

[Hogg]

MORE PICx0r5!

This time Ive got more of it disassembled... Im trying to get it down to the block by monday to have it bored out!

What colour? : White, Black, Silver, Chrome, Sh*t Stains (Stock)CarnageITBs? FTWZOMG?Needs more camshaft...

[newfengshui]

are you going to throw two tt's on the end of that engine code?

[Hogg]

Was thinking about the turbos... but I do want to be able to drive this occasionally, and not be spending all my time changing my tires...a 2000lb weight reduced CF body 240... with 350whp... I dont think I need any more than that really , Its Ferrari hunting season in the Fall...

Pics!:Valves off, Manifolds off, Most Accessories are off... Yay.



Photochop into any colours if you guys are bored!

[yokota180sx]

hahaha thats funny

yeah seen a couple around here that are either brand new or heavily used, for a decent set its about a grand... they look wicked - but ugh thats a lot of money heh, rather lift my front tires first at the lights...

[ShinHed]

Why'd you use black as a basecoat for yellow?

[Hogg]

Car was supposed to be black, and its going for some paint in a week or so (dunno when)... But then I decided to go crazy for a couple weeks and paint it yellow heh.

[Hogg]

no more picx0rs... ordering the pistons and cams and goodies this weekend!

[Soravia]

Is that two KA24DE joined at the hip like siamese twins?That's 350whp from which car? Won't you have more with lighter body?You can't have 2000lb even with CF can you? unless you're not counting the 500lb engine there.

[Hogg]

the VH45DE is only a 100lbs more than a KA hehe...All aluminum structure...

I am doing massive weight reduction with fiberglass, carbon fiber, and aluminum custom body parts hoping to get between 2000-2200...

On the scale my car is 2480-2490

[Hogg]

More pics!

Injection and Intake assemblies fully off and wiring harness is off as well!

Check it out...

That throttle body consumes small children... Seen it happen - once.

Also, can anyone tell me what the big lump of hoses and crap is for on the back of my intake manifold? Ive seen a couple builds without it but it looks important!

Thanks, Ill try to keep you guys posted when it goes for milling - Until then... BACK TO THE GARAGE!

[Hogg]

Well, Finally got a puller and got things going - Still hung up on a "stripped like nothing else" bolt on the Crank Sensor... As well as the Passenger Side Cylinder bolts are on more than 300FTLBs... I overheated my impact gun twice, and they still havent moved... Any pointers are more than welcome hehe

No Wonder This Motor Was Pulled - Build =/

Fell out when the front casing came off... Found another handful in my oil pan... YAY!

Thats all for day 3, more like an hour and a half or so but whatever!Enjoy!

[Hogg]

Hey team,

More progress as the un-seized head came off, thanks to some suggestions from my co-workers everything went rather smoothly, just somewhat time consuming... OH WELL!

Yay.

Thats all for today, pistons come out on friday and then its off to the machine shop for some boring and honing! Wheee!

=)

[Hogg]

Should've beat them with a tire iron. It resolves all car accidents.

That is fvcked up s*** right there. So whats your plan now? Is that jackass gonna pay for anything?

[Hogg]

Guy says he has no money, only way he can afford to pay for anything is giving me his POS truck that destroyed my pride and joy S13

Im incredibly depressed, had a job that I really enjoyed that apparently I wasnt doing properly for 6 months?, On the way home from that I stopped at a crosswalk and was rear ended by a truck doing 60kmph didnt even stop.

Driveshaft rammed through my Transmission, blew everything up car was declared a write off and I dont know what Im going to do now

Hopefully things will get brighter in the future hehe.

Thanks guys,Spence
