Project Blackout: Mrgreeneyes' Coupe Build

[White Comet]

altho i do require a diff housing of the s13 variety... no s14... dont wanna deal with that. maybe a test pipe? lets talk.

just let me know when ur not working, why dont u want the s14 diff housing? wait come to think of it, i might have an s13

[mrgreeneyes]

yeah, dont want to have to rig up an s14 housing with spacers/bolts.

[White Comet]

yeah i def have an s13 housing, cuz i remember switching danny's out

[mrgreeneyes]

hmm, lets talk.

i could use a couple bucks for that fan tho, funds are getting tighter and tighter as more and more orders are placed. I think $75 is reasonable... nearly half off?

Your wheels aren't the same ****ing 5-spokes that everyone and their dog has, so I won't hate. It's becoming the new cookie-cutter S-chassy style like VWs and BBS.

why thank you

i try to be different, yet budget conscious. and besides, who on here has red wheels? maybe one or two other people. and yeah, the 962's are WAY overrated/played. they are the new 5zigenFN01RC's...

going to work on the car later today... pics tonight?

[ANDRE-TRismGen]

[mrgreeneyes]

hey will you ship your chucki bumper if so how much and what color

no shipping, and bro, this aint the classifieds, this is my build thread. the only business transactions discussed briefly in this thread were deals between me and local friends. please keep it that way

[s14tan]

out of 5

[ANDRE-TRismGen]

yea i looked in the classifieds but i didnt see it so i figured i would post it here since other people were talking to you about sells..well gl on the build

[mrgreeneyes]

leaving my house in less than an hour and will return tonight with MOARR PICS... cus noone here actually reads things unless its a parts list...

[White Comet]

i dont even read that

[idahotuner]

hey i read everything lol.

most everything from you PA guys builds.

[White Comet]

[White Comet]

man, i really like all the pa support and mrgreeneyes, looking forward to the update and pics, sorry i couldnt make it. damn teg needing maintenance

[mrgreeneyes]

its all good man. work day tomorrow (later today... good lord, its late). got a lot done, but there is still a lot to do.

and yeah, PA knows where its at. my build is one of necessity that turned into a build of "well, if im gonna do this, might as well do it big" kinda builds. it will be everything but fast and pretty. suspension, tomei lsd, seat/interior and audio first (its my daily), then this summer-ish i will be building the CA for the "fast" portion. i still wont care if its pretty lol, i like it like this.

[Didderson]

^ this guy puts the stock carpet sound deadening insulation back in

pfffft what a softie!

Well ok, so maybe you have something on me... driving style (cavy style atm here )

[mrgreeneyes]

Sounds good. If it falls through and I come and get it, I definitely want to see your build and wc's kouki s13.

well, my guy fell through on the 5spd swap sale, but the guy's garage that im doing all my work at, just bought 2 240's tonight (go figure) and may need my stuff. ill know by tomorrow night. i kinda owe him a big favor for my car inconveniencing his garage space, so he has a temporary dibs.

pics are loading from my phone to a mem card, then later today, ill upload all pics ( i took a ton) and post for you guys' visual pleasure

[White Comet]

Ok, just let me know. The 5sp stuff is the last thing I need to do to my car before I'm satisfied, so i really want it haha. I have the money in hand and I can dive up there to get all the stuff. Thanks.

[Chris28]

haha sorry if it seems like I'm nagging, but have you heard back from the guy who's garage you are using? Haha i want to make sure I have a transmission before I start ripping everything apart. Thanks

-Chris

haha, tom, she will be loud outside due to exhaust, and loud inside due to stereo treats, but i dont want the two to mix. and its good thermal insulation too. and with suspension, 2way diff, etc, there will be a lot of roadnoise to kill.

[lofapoo]

Boy, hurry up with them pictures. I been waitin' forever :P

[mrgreeneyes]

ok, here are teh pics of the past two days progress. ill start with pics of the things that make my project possible:

My color of choice: My snack of choice:

My sleep reducer:

My brand of choice:

My heater:

And finally, my garage space of choice (yes there is an R33 bumper there):

Ok, I also want to thank all my friends who come out to help me countless late nights getting this thing roadworthy, especially Didderson.

"Boo, less reading, i want to see the car" - NICO.Shut up NICO, here's your pics.

Here is why you dont use a crappy six puck (even if it was free, as was my case)... it will leave 1/8" grooves in your pressure plate/flywheel. weak pressure plate let the thing slip a lot, and just wore the thing down. The following pic demonstrates thoroughly, my thoughts on this setup:



So i got myself a nice oem exedy/daikin piece. no pics of that yet, cus my motor is in a dark corner of the garage and my cam phone hates dark shadowy areas.

Here is my armrest area, 1 USB port for my radio to read my jumpdrive, and 2 12v outlets for cell charger/gps charger (and cus when i shift, my arm would bump into anything plugged into the factory outlet)





Oh, and here is why you don't buy Ksport coils... cus after less than 4 months, they will pop, leaving you with this:



so uh, dont make the same mistake i did... just do it right the first time!

More pics on the way.

[mrgreeneyes]

Here are the Hella 1182 projector fogs i had in my old chuki bumper... revamped with fresh paint and cleaned up. They have a yellow all weather lens and bulb. I absolutely love these lights for bad weather driving (read: fog, snow, etc)



More pics of them later, once i mount them up on the bumper support.

Mounted/fitted the sideskirts today. Couple pics:



I like them a LOT. they are fiberglass... of which im not a fan, but for the price i paid, i cannot complain.

Oh, and i rolled my fenders...



LOL at the superflat roll... function at its finest...

And the pig bumper and lip were painted/fitted too:



It was just me at the shop today, so this is all i got done from 7PM-12PM... not too bad.

Probably wont be able to work on it again a lot until this weekend. Work sucks... ill have to take a few days off soon so i can finish this thing.

Still to order, as soon as they are in stock:PBM CoilsPBM RucasARP studs for the front hubs

And my tomei comes in tomorrow, so i am taking it and my s13 open diff to Landis Transmission (great shop that i have had work done at previously) to have the diff shimmed/gear mesh set/ etc. I figure its best to leave it to the pros. considering its a $1k diff...

I will soon hang my Q45 brakes and SPL lines. Motor and trans will go in asap, couldnt do it today cus its a LOT easier with 2+ people and no z32 sitting in your way (refer to pic). I didnt get nearly as far as i wanted to this week, but I am very worn out right now from work/working on this car/ working on friends cars... so as soon as i get some rest and some treats in the mail, ill be more motivated and finish this thing with a fury

[mrgreeneyes]

yea i looked in the classifieds but i didnt see it so i figured i would post it here since other people were talking to you about sells..well gl on the build

wow man, sorry i snapped. it wasnt a good day... no hard feelings?

[Quest4beasT]

Nice project, keep the list going.
