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
