Got some time in the garage today and got the trans mounted back in. Also ran the main tucked wire harness and got everything finalized besides the trans connections. Next will be mounting the xfer case and rear diff!!For anyone wondering...
Finally got the trans back and it was even more built than I had originally though. Figured while I was at it though might at well throw a 300m shaft and upgraded front lsd. Now it’s as built as it could be internals wise before going dog box...
So its neither. I actually originally sent it to Tim because I was afraid it did have a welded center diff, which is opposite of my build plans. When he got it opened up it turns out the center diff is a super old school Kaaz center diff that is...
So major update on the build, some very good, some very bad haha. I will start with the bad, or just pain in the ass I guess..Had to pull the motor again to fix a scratch we made hanging the engine. Way easier to pull second time around and got...
Just the man I had questions for then lol.. check your PMs.Turns out this trans is not the one he sold to Rob. Different ratio.. was hoping to get more info on it but it is not his. @twicks69 is going to go through this one and get me all...
So this had to happen over last week.. out with the newly mounted trans. So happy about it lol..Did get the driver side fuel finished up and closed. Almost done with the passenger side..
I’ve been watching your build and appreciate the level of work that you’ve been doing. I keep A TON of new OEM hardware in stock for my builds, if you’re ever in need of a specific bolt, clip, etc feel free to message me any time.Jared
Well, she finally has a heart! Got everything hung this past Sunday and went without anything crazy happening. Going to get the fuel system finished up in my weekend and then hopefully start wiring next!
Finally finished the Prius electric power steering mod for the 2g dsm and have to say, the lower part is the hardest part for sure. The little mini u-joints to connect the dsm yolk to the Prius section is a HUGE pain in the ass. But it’s done and...
Oh absolutely.. he knowns how anal I am about everything and how I spent 30mins with rulers and levels to make sure it was spot on LOL… so yeah. He also knows just mentioning it freaked me out and made me go look at it again. So he wins this...
Now that the engine is wrapped up as far as timing and degrees I am waiting on a clutch and then I can hopefully hang the engine/trans in the bay in two weeks. BUT, also working on the steering and almost finished with the hardest part of it, and...
Brakes are finally finished.. took a LOT of modding the oem knuckles and I would definitely not do the same approach next time lol. If you are reading this and thinking of doing an Evo 8/9 brembo swap on your front, buy the Galant knuckles that...
Well everyone, I have officially pulled the plug on trying to get the A87 to shootout. Just too many small little things here and there not to mention the one large thing I didn’t get squared away, which is the trans. BUT, I am still chugging...
Here with another update. A LOT of things going on at once but finally got the fuel lines finished and things mounted to the firewall. Here is that.. and for those that have never assembled PTFE hose before, it sucks hahaha.
Soooooooo, not gonna lie… I have been avoiding doing the heat barrier on the interior firewall for a while now. I knew it was going to be a huge pain in the ass, and turns out.. I was 10291% correct. BUT, it’s done and over and now I can start...
