Well this isnt really an update on what i have managed to get done with the car, more of some of the things that i have picked up.

Got the stock shifter cleaned up and powder coated and put back together with new hardware. Pics dont really do it justice. I looks really good in satin black. Same color that i powder coated my front and rear subframes in

I know that it has been a while since I have updated my blog. This project is not a "im in a hurry and need to finish it so i can drive it" type project. As you can tell from the 1st page pics it is a complete tear down and restore with a little spice... More importantly it is a "as time and money comes" project...like everyone else, times got tough with the economy/work...

Well, I've been having some issues with the brake brackets on my ksport coilovers because there aren't any. Below is a pic of what i did.

here is how the brake lines look on the stock strut assembly



here is what i did for my ksports. Just have to clean up the bracket and powdercoat it....

A friend of mine was tired of NAPA calling him to take care of his bill. I bailed him out and in return, i got to keep what he had in their machine shop.
-brand spanking new 1g head
-1gen block cleaned
-all stock hardware and internals

best part about it, is i got everything for $93.07

Well its getting time for me to get the car back on the ground so that i can roll it around the shop so i decided to go ahead and put the calipers back together and get them mounted. Now I just need to pick up a manual steering rack.

-rebuilt stock calipers (because im going with 16in rims)
-hawk pads
-power slot slotted rotors


...

powder coated dust shields and steering knuckles with new wheel bearings and inner and outer seals


ksport coilovers finally came in after waiting a month and a half for them


doing a little test fitment with everything

Well guys, my body guy and i managed to spend a little time in the shop today. I didnt want to remove the heater core and crap just incase the car is driven in the cold weather, but i got bored today. Also decided to remove the engine bay fuse box wiring out of the engine bay so that i can tuck it under the dash and also weed out some of the wiring i wont be needing anymore.

my coilovers...

I spent a little time at my shop today messing with the subframe and front lower control arms. I managed to get all of the subframe, lower control arms, new ball joints, swaybar and new swaybar endlinks installed. Sorry for the crappy/dirty pics, there is dust everywhere from all the sanding going on on the body.

Powerslot slotted rotors, Hawk pads and Techna-fit ss brake lines just waiting to be installed.



I orginally picked up a set of f1spec.com R1 fully reclinable bucket seats, but i got to thinking that the red was just going to cut up the white exterior and black interior too much so ive decided to put them...

Ive been debating making this thread on the dsmtuners for a while basically because the car isnt really much to look at other than pieces. I, like many others on here have owned several different cars through the years and have modded every single one of them. Currently i have an 05 srt4, 02 rsx-s, 92 tsi awd and the 90 gsx project. After making roughly 500whp with my srt4 ive come to the conclusion...
