My Project (Jacquemond kit)

[Sky240PWR]

I got some pics in, here you can see the hood latch was smaller then the stock, so there was a little play when it was shut, he welded a thicker bar(same as stock) so it would pull the hood all the way down(and no play) he also made that support for my safty....yeah!

here's the the after math

[Sky240PWR]

here's a pic of my fans installed, is this how everyone did theres?(with an RB).......yeah I know my bay is really dirty but there's no use of cleaning at this time.

another angle, he also made me some new radiator supports!

another

[Sky240PWR]

since the hood, fenders weren't factory, it took some adjusting to get them to all work together,(fixing that hood latch helped) he still has some work to do but they fit alot better then they did when we first put them on!

the other

those are some nice supports, well done and not just find a place to drill a hole and bolt in the bracket. Looks great so far. Cleaning the bay would be nice since your doing all that work?

[Veriest1]

The passenger side seems to have lined up nicely (to my rather untrained eye) but the driverside fender seems to be off a little still. I'm assuming that's what he's going to work on.

I have to say this is turning out much better than I thought it would. I like the work done on the hood latch as well as the vents.

[BarnDog296]

WOOT. I like where the fans were installed. Not sure where you can put a FMIC with them there though?

Still watching

From what I understand... Puller fans are WAY more efficient than pusher fans. Just something you may want to look into with ~600 WHOREses and all.

why would it be a problem? there's plenty room for a fmic, all we did was move the radiator back 2 inchs.

well it's gonna be in there for another 6 months plus, so thats why it's pointless to clean it now

yeah....before we got the fans, I was hoping there was room for a pusher and a puller, but since we moved the radiator back, there's no room. I don't know, we are building a underneath cooling pannel and I have a cf top cooling pannel and we are blocking the sides of the radiator so the air has nowhere to go but through the radiator, and also redoing the front bumper to better direct the air, plus the vented hood will help, so I don't think I'll have cooling problems, I guess only time will tell .

When u get her finished im willing to make the 10 hr drive if u promise to take me for a ride in that monster.

[mkory]

Sounds like everything's very well thought out.... Not that I'd expect any less or anything.

Every time I look at this thread I can't help but day dream... maybe one day...

Keep up the great work, and keep us posted!

Everytime I look at this thread, I'm dumbfounded all over again at the level of commitment to this project. Having no patience (and even less disposable income) myself, I'm amazed at how you're taking this long and (IMO) costly project in stride. Still, you are to be commended. Even if for nothing more than the fact that you committed yourself to your vision and stuck to it no matter what. However, I also think you should be commended for having a very custom, very one-of-a-kind ride (and it doesn't hurt that it's gonna be hawtness).

[srpowered240sx]

I would definitly be forced to kick that quaterpanel in if I ever saw that car.

and you get the $hit kicked out of you by a lot of people. you dont f*** with a guys car, i dont care how much you dislike it. dont be disrespectful to someone elses hard work.

ill gladly help

someone stole my headunit, and ive had people vandilize things of mine...well if anyone on nico needs help because someone fhk'd with their **** im game

[srpowered240sx]

i just hate the mentality of some people, "if i dont like it, im gonna ruin it" its bull$hit. if i catch someone vandalyzing my car, i WILL break their legs and then call the cops.

[Logan76]

i prefer to break there face, people seem to value their looks more than their legs...I agree, I dont go smashing ugly honda's with fart cans because I dont like em'. and I personally dont want anyone to smash my car, I dont think I could word it better than you just did. its @ss what some stupid kids do.

[eds13]

i thought it would look kinda cheesy at first, but its all comming together and its gonna be hot!!!

[USsil80]

yea cooling panels are are most .... the car looks amazing.... love the quality before "get 'er dun" attitude... keep not the quality

thanks man, it makes it all worth while when people like you say nice things about something I've put everything into, even when alot of people didn't like it and flamed me for my ideas, after it's done, I think it'll win most of that crowd over. and the thing you said about sticking to my vision no matter what, look at my sig, i made that along time ago, it has the tail lights, the wing, the diffuser, the hood, the front bumper, the mirrors, and of cource the body kit so yeah I guess I have stuck with my guns......the head lights are the only thing I'm not sure on in the end.Thanks again!

[whiterps13]

Ive been following this thread, but I dont recall what color you plan on going with. I also dont feel like digging through 11 pages, so let me know.

[Sky240PWR]

I've always loved the Mercedes Benz silver with silver rims, I love the way is shines in the light........keeping it clean!

[Sky240PWR]

[mkory]

I knew you had an rb in it putting down some power, but it's such a relief to see that you're putting money towards performance too.
