Siliconed plugs in the holes I wouldn't be using.

For the brake and fuel lines I put a rubber grommet in the holes and then siliconed them shut.

Pulley kit is fully on now, I also replaced all my vacuum lines and rear coolant lines/clamps.

Engine is in for the last time and I started on the wiring.

Axles are in

nnoriega · 05-12-2009, 02:14 PM

BusinessMan_24 · 05-12-2009, 02:29 PM

I need to finish up wiring the engine, install radiator and such, put interior back in, make exhaust, install intercooler setup, make a cover for the fuel cell and pop a couple holes in the back of the car for lines. I want to go for a test drive this weekend but lets say next weekend.

I know the trannys are weak. I'm going to try and take it easy so I won't have to buy a gearset for a good year.

No idea but we will have to set up a meet.

I still need to do some engine work to get mine going, but as soon as I get up there this weekend I will be able to start tearing into it.

BusinessMan_24 · 05-15-2009, 01:39 AM

Rear brakes are now done, using 93 Infiniti g20 pads

Hacked off the factory mounting bracket and made my own. Line clears the wheel fine.

I replaced both front bearings and seals since the driver side one was iffy. Rocking the new fastbrakes setup!

I needed a remote hydraulic clutch reservoir so I went to one of the local junkyards hoping to find one off a 240. Instead I had to settle for one off of a Honda. Can't complain thou it was only $5 and it works. I do need to clean up the bracket thou.

Bleed the line and the clutch pedal feels good and tranny shifts good.

Started on the fuel cell cover.

I found someone that bought them and never used them so I paid around $220 shipped for them. I think they are $350 or so new. Google it and i'm sure you will find something

Here is the 3" dowpipe I made next to a stock Gti-r downpipe. Will be running 2.5 rest of the way back.

There was a bunch of small stuff that I completed through out the week but i'm not going to do a update post everyday on that stuff.

I have a whole list of mods, but my first goal is to get it running. It needs an intake cam and some rockers, and put back together and it should be ok to at least drive it around. Oh and some tires. I have some plans for it, undisclosed at this time though as I am making my final decision soon. Also I just want to get it running for now.
