Spent some quality time with my whip

[themadscientist]

[QUOTE=SlipnSliden 240Thank You, I am straying away from the fuzzy though. I picked this material up, I wraped the glove box and the head liner so far. The door panels and a shift boot are next. Kind of a bandanna print.



My GF, vertbish on here is keeping the fuzzy thing alive. This is for her vert.



[/QUOTE]

I likes. Now I am not the only one with fuzzy door panels.

c*** tease with the paintjob.

[SlipnSliden 240]

Not alot of progress. Its getting dark out side too soon.

Painted my front bumper. But My air dryer/filter setup went out and it F'ed the paint so some sanding and repainting is in order.

Clear CAS cover just thought it was cool so I bought it.



New tire sizes. 215/35 18 on a 18x9.5 -22 in frontand for the rear 245/40 18 on a 18x11 -3

In the pics you have of your GF panels, from what I see it looks like those 3 at the bottom already have all the curves? what did you use on the back side to get there shape.

[DJButton]

I like it, so far it's looking good! Can't wait to find a set of Amistads myself!

On the verts all the panels are removeable. So we just took them off wraped them and then put them back in.

And Im sure some of the people are wondering what the whole is for in my fender... We will just have to wait and see.

Here is a pic of one of my flexane mounts.



And here is another old pic of it together. Just cause I miss it together

[highpsisil80]

[highpsisil80]

[frosti108]

[crakin]

Looks awesome man good luck!

[SlipnSliden 240]

did u cut and weld the motor mount bracket???

No I just made some engine mounts using the flexane product.

Its a URAS knock off front bumper

Here is my saftey 21 cage. Before some molesting. It is for a non sunroof car, and I have a sunroof. So I had to cut and weld I ended up making fit realy well imo. I also welded in a harness bar now. I am still contimplating door bars.

[kornaz]

wow man. awesome work. cars lookin awesome. it looked awesome before and it still looks awesome even all apart like that haha

whats wrong with the word whip?? and whats wrong with rhd conversions? what the hell is wrong with you people LOL

Actually, what's wrong with you? You do the RHD convo unless it's track car or you just wanna be the jdm-tyte-assz-cool-boy.

To the op - 215 on a 9.5 - meh. I have 225, and hate it. Your's a track car, so it's all good. Goooood. Keep it up.

[S13Teddy]

sexy updates as usual...

[j-z]

nice project... whats the easiest way to remove all the sound deadining material?? the shlt on my hatch is on there! ive heard of a few things, but how did you do it?

[mirochuki13]

How do you run your car LOW, and keep full suspension travel?

nice. but getting more travel in the front is a little harder.. unless you're cool with your strut towers sticking through your hood.

[fourLUG_hero]

proper english -> laymen -> slang -> sub-retarded -> calling your car whip.

oh wait, i just realized you are from Jersey. in that case i think the government mandated that you guys can pretty much use whatever terms you want to describe your vehicles out of sheer pity.

but in this case i think the OP was playing around.

What's up with all the Jersey hate in the forum, d!ck ? Not all of us talk retarded over the internet. I hate the word "whip' as well as evidenced by my sig but Jersey doesn't just churn out idiots. That's what Philadelphia and Bucks County, PA is for.

actually d!ck im from philly

You see ? I see at least 6 errors in that statement.

[fourLUG_hero]

Sorry for the double post but, OMFG !! This car is going to be amazing. It was already amazing when it was white but now it's just gonna be total titties.

[vertbish]

I did it, lol and not the easiest way in the world... lets just say time consuming. A few different sizes of chisels and a hammer. Also I think the fact that I did it when it was hot outside kinda helped, it kinda just peeled off...

[fern]

all I gotta say is "insane" and I love it

[DJButton]

Can't wait for some more updates man!

[Baydestrian]

keep it up...i wish i had the money to customize my car over and over

[SlipnSliden 240]

I didnt need to extend the front. I just wanted to get rid of the spring "droop" in the rear, and add preload to the rear.

For the front I removed both lock collars. Then I thread the bottom mount all the way to the spring and added one lock collar to the bottom. Thats about the lowest it can go. I can add more preload though, and raise the bottom mount a little bit more if needed.



and some updates.Cage painted to match the car. Rear half installed and seats in.



The paint in the sun

[Baron Fel]

are you actually going to make someone ride in the back?!? pull those rear seats if not

[SlipnSliden 240]

I dont like the look of nothing there. When I have the $$$ Ill buy the origin carbon rear seat delete gig. But for now Ill leave the stock one there. Its not like it weighs alot.

[cmoody2006]

Looking good man. You don't like seeing bare metal but yet the door panels are off?

[BHayes_S13Coupe]

He's probably not done with the interior yet. What did you use to cut the holes in the rear panels, looks super clean and non jagged/halfassed.

[SlipnSliden 240]

Im recovering the door panels. The pass. side is done I havent made time to do the drivers side thats why its off.

I used a hole saw. Then I just adjusted them with my die grinder, a dremel would also work. When I was all done I sliced some vacume hose done the center and split it around the edges.

[DJButton]

Loving the use of vacuum hose, we used that in the engine bay around some rough holes, same effect and makes it look so much cleaner! +1

[SlipnSliden 240]

Some updates. It is finaly back on the ground. Added a light weight flywheel and exedy stage 2 clutch. The engine and trans are now back in. All thats left for the body is rear widebody and paint, the rear still needs to go lower also. Now its time for some engine upgrades...

[AZhitman]

BAD AS HELL!

Glad someone was finally able to put my motor mount article to good use!!!!

This thing is most definitely going to make a great Featured Build article!!!
