My, "I don't know when to quit." build thread (almost done)

[danshaz82]

i ended up hammering mine inward, instead of out for some reason
and i wish i had the time to do all this stuff to my motor. lookin forward to seeing everything done

[project213]

Hory sheet! Page two lol.

I only touch my car two days a week but i sp end two full days on it. Im really hopeing to have it driveable by the deadline ive set so fingers crossed.

I hammered mine up to hold my harness out of harms way. Itll sit completly seperated from my wheel so no worries of rubbing through it.

[project213]

So its been more than two months since ive updated this thing, an i'm sure that those of you who saw any of my previous attempts have assumed that this project has been abandoned just like the others. An youd be wrong if you did.

Ive been patiently awaiting parts to arrive so i can start putting schtuff together.
An after my next order arrives I will have plenty of pictures.
For now though, I will tell you that I have spent about a grand on quite a few quality products to put my sr together an anything not getting replaced has been painted an made new.

So, until the day Fedex arrives. You all have a good one

[project213]

With updates few an far between here, I havnt really kept anyone udated with my s-bucket (not that many care). But over the past few months, after buying selling an trading parts shells an numerous hours of time an frustration I finally have a close to finished product. Im only posting a teaser shot today but will add a few good pictures later on.

[CJH]

I like it. You parked funny. The ride height and wheels look nice. Who doesn't like the Type X front. All you need is a little paint and an OEM full lip kit and shes rocking. Oh, and parking lessons because that's weird. All and all, looks good!

[pepesilvia]

lookin good!

[project213]

Haha, glad its getting some positive feed back so far. I parked half in the grass so none of my idiot neighbors plow into when they fly down my street. Its too low to get in the driveway lol.

Paint is definately happening, as well as the rest of the aero. This is an older picture actually, the headlight has since been fixed.

An wheel specs in case anyones curious are..... Work Emitz. 18x12 estimated +5 rear. An 18x10.5 estimated 0 offset front.

Rears are under 25mm overs rocking a 245/45, with -5.5° of camber an still poke, ill be putting on 50mm overs here soon. Fronts are under stock rolled fenders an fit perfect with a 225/40 S-Drive.

Ill update as frequently as posible from here on out so stay tuned!!!!

[MissMollyAnnax0]

haha, some assembly required. Gotta love it. We traded my running convertible for this shell . Seriously though, awesome find at an awesome price. Like what you've done with it

[danshaz82]

those emitz
gonna look so good with the rest of the aero and one color

[MissMollyAnnax0]

those emitz
gonna look so good with the rest of the aero and one color

seriously though, it's not even right how good they look.

[project213]

Thanks for all the love guys. Definitely an unexpected surprise! Seeing the positive feed back makes me wanna keep this thread alive lol.

The red car isnt the one from the beginning of the thread. Its all of the parts I bought for the grey car but on a car I got from a friend. He gave me a killer deal so I couldnt resist hahaha. Basically for the cost of coilovers an arms I got an sr hatch with coilovers an arms lol. Along with a BEE*R an some other goodoes.

On a side note, that coupe shell is sick, cant wait to see what it becomes!

Since im waiting on racecar parts before I do a for real update ill just leave these here...

Keep in mind, its under cunstruction.

Custom 4" blast pipes. One piece from the elbow back. V-Banded an solid mounted


Hmm, flush much?



An heres that damn valve cover I just had to ruin by shaving . More on this later.


Until my update, yall enjoy!

[daemonyk]

Dem wheelz I normally don't like deep dish spokes-for-days wheels, but damn, I guess I just wasn't looking at the right ones. Slick

[project213]

Thanks man. I love the Emitz. Especially since you dont oten see them

As far as I know, I own one of only two sets in Florida. The other set is owned by a friend of mine. An I also believe that mine are the biggest set in the country which is kind of cool.

[project213]

Whats up guys. Didnt wanna let this drop back to page two so im bumping it even though i dont have all my new stuff in yet, but i do have a crappy pic of one of the things i got ahold of thatll hold you guys over....

Got my hands on an HKS oil cap, an cleaned up the carbon
coil pack cover that I had.


Now im just waiting on my order so ill update this damn thing when all of that comes in. Till then, ya'll enjoy.

[catnipple]

Definitely looking good so far.

[Ullusion]

Interesting build, things are looking nice so far! Keep at it, I'll be following this one :- ).

[project213]

Whats up guys. I know a few of you have been following this thread an I finally have updates for you.

Ive been really busyvlately working two jobs, and the car is now on the road.

I have a tone of pictures an a few good stories that ill post up later today after work.

[project213]

Whats up guys. Sorry for the delay. Been workin 7 days a week an trying to squeez in work on the hatch when i can.

Not going too have much more than a few pictures n some b.s. chit chat since im typing this up at work. So here we go...


Finally got off my a** an fixed the front subframe, stupid low car


An this is what i found upon further inspection


So with it fixed an aligned. I finally got too drive the damn thing



An of course. With it being on the road, i felt the urge too really tear into it. So i started doing some cool s***. Like.....

Putting on my new Origin overs.




Final product


I also cut out the front of my Type x bumper, an modified my headlights







Ive also recently been doin some interior work, an making a custom dash lay out. Its still in its infant stages so dont be to harsh on it haha






First test fit


Then i got too start puttin things in it...which left my interior looking like this


I really need a new steering wheel

An thats pretty much where im at as of now. I did leave out a lot. But, i am at work so ill fill in the blanks later. But for now, im just gonna leave this here



Yall have a good one. An stay tuned for more cool s***. An gimme a follow on instagram for real time updates. @duhcount

[pepesilvia]

Lookin rad! Are you planning on paint in the future? Also, how did you put the rear overs on? with rivets?

edit: 500th post!

[project213]

Indeed i am. Just not sure on a color yet. An indeed i did. Used stainless rivets. When the time for paint comes ill remove em an paint them seperate. Then silicone, an re-rivet them back on.

[Driveirresponsibly]

looks good! i like the custom dash cover, glass work looked pretty solid! keep it up i love these build threads

[whatsderftings13]

Them Origin overs..<3
Really diggin' this build, keep up the good work!
I wish you luck!

[project213]

Thanks guys. Im trying too stay consistent with workin on it so things should happen fairly quick.

Im hoping too have the center console finished up here within the next week or so depending on my work schedual. But the next thing on my list is a new alignment.

[project213]

So...uh. its been a while. Yeeeeah, this is awkward. Its been a while. An a lot!has happens updates in like a day or two stay tuned

[OM3GA]

Looking great!

[CJH]

Coming along nicely. It's looking sexy as hell. Seriously though, get some type x side skirts and rear valance.

[project213]

So, I fell off the map again. But I'm back.

Recently started a new career an have been working hard on my car.

So here we go!

First I did this...


Now it looks like this...
