Nice Build bro. I love the size of the garage you've got to work with.. car is looking great too.

 

[DSMunknown]

What ever happened to that JDM Evo engine you had, Rob?

 

[6boltcrank]

Very nice.

but I'm soooo jealous of the garage. I'm using my patio (at an apartment complex) luckily for me my next door neighbor doesn't mind the smell of degreaser in the morning. But unfortunately he is a honda man.

 

[jjrock5]

Hey I know this build (HCDSM). haha. Looks good man.

 

[SanTa_]

What ever happened to that JDM Evo engine you had, Rob?

Oh wow I can't believe you still remember that. ha ha
I sold that awhile ago for some $$ and a carbon hood.

JJrock you are correct!

And thanks, for the garage size. Luckily my relative let me use it if I cleaned it out. Just needs a heater now for this winter.

A lot better than working outside during the winter.

 

[6boltcrank]

A lot better than working outside during the winter.

I agree, but there is something fulfilling about working on a cold engine block drinking hot cocoa with your buddies and roasting marshmallows on the fire of old parts you don't need.



or is that just me?????

 

[SanTa_]

Ha ha no it's not well minus the hot cocoa and marshmellows.

However burning old parts sure is something I did over the summer ;] , not my parts but a buddies of mine. He melted his stock bov and stock IC piping and other various things

I prefer to put those parts on the shelf, like they are trophies, but I guess that's another way to go about it.

 

[SanTa_]

So..it's been awhile. A lot of working.. (not on the car)

Thanks..Brandon*, Sid, & Tom for last night.

Car was moved around in the garage so there's more room to work with now. Even though the car is taking up most of the garage now!

The rear subframe (GST) was put back in along with the rear suspension. The gas tank was not as I'm still waiting for parts from STM to be delivered.

Next we're the two front tires. Done.
ABS removed, well most of it. Still a few lines left for it, nothing major.

[williambogner]

Can somebody tell me what everybody eliminates there balance shaft...haha wont that make your engine blow eventually?

 

[airmail96]

The balance shafts are just there to reduce vibrations felt inside of the cabin. Most remove it because if those bearings fail good bye timing belt.

 

[SD_TSI]

Any chance you still got that 2ga rear lip still laying around?!

 

[SanTa_]

Hell yeah I do! It's actually a molded lip though so you would have to take the whole thing.

Let me know.

 

[Venom13132]

Nice project so far! In for more.

 

[SanTa_]

I mounted a lot of the bolt-ons so far. I probably will have to take them apart before I drop in the tranny so I can get a better idea where I want to place things.

Still waiting for my mounts! Grrr ;[

The package from ExtremePSI weighed 50LBS. Big a$2 BOX! ha

 

[jen_cairo]

Looks very good!

Just curious where are you relocating you fuse box?

And are you going to be using an external oil cooler? or no..thanks

 

[Venom13132]

Its like christmas when all those parts come in at once!

 

[SanTa_]

Looks very good!

Just curious where are you relocating you fuse box?

And are you going to be using an external oil cooler? or no..thanks

I had three different ideas.

1st Idea: Inside the glove box..

2nd idea: Under the battery try but the JM Fab mounts a lot lower than I though so I might have to scratch that or figure out something

3rd idea: Passenger side area under the headlights


It's really hard at this point without the engine being in. I have to run the wires to see what I need to eliminate and keep and extend.

The external oil cooler is going to be used. I have it listed under one of the products I bought from Extreme. It will go on the driver side area of course. :]



And yeah dude it was Christmas! I didn't even bother taking a picture of the inside of the box ha. I'll just wait for the engine shots later

I won't have time to work on the car until SUNDAY School and work..
next week is spring break so I might have a lot more time then :]

Does that box say DO NOT LAY FLAT?
It looks to be laying down to me...

Haha shhh yeah it does. The worst part was I took the day off work and school because a signature was required..

The worst part was it didn't come in until 7PM! Basically the whole day I spent at home waiting q.q

But I laid it down so I can jump on top of it and bow chicka bow wow and open the box up. ;]

I had to go to the garage today and pick up some things. Such as the battery and the titanium wrap and spray paint.

[Venom13132]

You are rockin though this build. Getting a lot done FAST!

 

[SanTa_]

Haven't done much.

The most essential part that I need is not in yet. Waiting upon the motor mounts so I can drop in the engine and start my wire tuck, according to lengthening the wires and what not to the right length and etc.

Without the motor I can't really put all my goodies inside the bay and leave them permanent, until then just thought I'd made a quick update.
