Haven't hardly gotten anything done in the past couple weeks. A truck w/ trailer merged into my parents while they were riding the bike home on the interstate so I've been busy helping them out while they're laid up. They're lucky their injuries were as "minor" as they were and they're recovering quickly.

Basically all I've done painted and mounted the rear subframe, I think it turned out pretty nice.

Also started cleaning out my garage to sell what I don't need. Had a couple parts I had forgotten about.

Just got the brembos a couple days ago. Freshly rebuilt holset wh1c, CompWorks fender braces, FP 4" intake/exhaust manifold, Tial BOV, Synapse Wastegate.

I need to speed shit up and put some of these parts to use!

looking sweet! Hope you make your goal for BIR next year

[Fejery4491]

Thanks man! I really need to get my ass into gear to meet that goal. I'm debating just priming the car and slapping it back together for next season and tackling the paint in the winter of 2013. If I do that and plant another money tree in the back yard, BIR shouldn't be an issue haha.

So my note written in tape hasn't motivated you anymore? And i texted you about your parents.

[Fejery4491]

Your tape note is still on the floor actually haha.

Got a little more done today. Front subframe is painted and ready to be bolted in, just got wait until I'm done painting the bay.

The front radiator support is pretty nasty/rusty on my car so you ran outside the parts car to cut that one off. I'm kinda starting to play with the idea of having this whole piece bolt into place. That way I could yank the radiator, intercooler, and everything off in one piece and then just slide the engine/trans out the front. Would cut the time of just about any major repair in half. So I'll probably mock it up on the parts car and if I like what I see hack into it and make it fit on my car.

It's been over a year since this has been updated. Some things have changed, but honestly the car isn't a whole lot further. Financial burdens prevented me from getting much done for a while, when the money was there it was an issue of no time to work on it, and when I had time/money motivation was the issue. Working on cars 50 hours a week doesn't exactly inspire you to work on your own shit when you get home haha.

What I have gotten done recently....

Painted the engine bay. Used Eastwood 2k Underhood Black. Seems perfect for a track slut. It's extremely chemical resistant, on some test panels I did I poured brake fluid and let it sit and it didn't even touch the stuff.

Picked up a HTA Green instead of the Holset WH1C I was gonna run (still for sale btw :))

Tore down the old tired 6 bolt for inspection. She's tired, but she'll do!

Got the head back from the machine shop and threw everything back together .

Dropped the engine into the engine bay. And made the bottom hoop for the tube front. I actually had completed the tube front end last summer, but I hated how it turned out. It was cumbersome and poorly thought out. It's really a shame because I had about 2 million hours into the headlight mounts and getting all the body lines right, but in the end it is what it is. In hindsight doing what Leasure did and left the top in place. Currently I'm waiting on a different die for my bender and then I can start to recreate top piece.

Lookin good man! I was wondering what happened to the rotisserie dsm!

[evotuner]

Nice work, you DIY guys are very talented. Definitely going to be keeping an eye on this project :)
