http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps3fb7f3e1.jpg

Gonna order up the rear lexan glass as they now sell it with out side windows.

Injectors,rail, and SMIM showed up this week got it mocked up quick.

http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps7dd1b376.jpg

Picked up goldens763 rota subzeros for a set of daily wheels.

Also planning on devoting next weekend to get this thing running. Ill take any help I can get. Ill provide beverages and food.

Also want to get this thing tinted any recommendations on where?

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

That hatch is amazing

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Tint pros. Brad gets all of his cars tinted there. So next weekend it should be running?

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

+1 for them, I think Aaron and Rosey just got their cars done by them at AJ's annual tint day.

Carbon hatch looks amazing, can you give us weight details compared to stock once you get that lexan?

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Thanks I think the hatch looks amazing to!

Yeap I can post the difference as I'm curious to.

It "should" be running by Sunday. Crossing fingers and all 11 toes ;)

Tint pros it is. Won't do that till after my tune but it's good to plan ahead.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Since I knew I seen it somewhere already ill post a quote from tuners.



34 lbs total weight saved!

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Nice weight savings!! And tint pros ftw they did my tint and looks amazing!!

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Picked up some jic coilovers

http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps468695da.jpg

Got a few people lined up for the weekend install. Also got the ok from the better half.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Hell of a deal you got on those, nice! I think I paid about the same for some used KSports which sucked.
Also sweet on the 34 lbs weight saved on the hatch alone, and on the top end of the car. Do you have the lexan for it yet?

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Nope need to order soon. It's in stock so I can see it within 5 days once its ordered.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

That makes me want a carbon fiber hatch even more! I can probably help out this weekend too if you need it

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Definitely need all the help I can get. Lol. I'm home today so I plan to get a few things done to the car today.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Such a sweet build!

Doing everything I wish I had the money for when I had it! haha

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Thanks Brad. Car is kinda getting out of hand. I didn't know I was gonna take it this far.

Just sent an email to frontlinefab to see how long of a wait it will be for a 2G awd bolt in tank. So I'm waiting for a response.

There's gonna be a crazy part out come September if I don't end up keeping my black shell.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

WTF!!

Nice. I'd let Tint Pros do the tint work.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Harness showed up today! Thanks Andrew. Should work for what I need to accomplish as long as tech doesn't get to picky.

http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps77f207d5.jpg

Got my Greddy MBC today to. (Mail lady was like wait you have 2 ;) )
From what I read its similar to a grim speed 1 click per psi. Got it on a trade so no money out of my pocket so ill give it a shot.

http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps88911c02.jpg

Gauge setup and steering wheel. BECAUSE RACECAR!!!

http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps1c5dbe2d.jpg

Heading out to get some ATF +4 so at the very least get this tranny mounted to the short block.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Holy hell I think you have more gauges than I do! Lol. Looking good!

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

I want a ride dude! So awesome!

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Very nice.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Freaking awesome! Love the gauges.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Do I see TWO boost gauges?! lol

I ALSO want a ride!

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

And 2 widebands! LOL!

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

The other two are on the A-pillar. ;)

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

It's going to be a full time job just keeping all the gauges working. :)

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Why that steering wheel?????

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

I gotta pull one of the boosts and put in my auto temp one.

Also just put the narrow band in there to see if I cut the hole right.

Why the steering wheel? Cause its better than rocking a stock one with airbag for track days.

Also huge thanks to Tyler, Miles and Joel. Got a lot more done than I thought I would which is awesome considering we didn't start doing anything till 6:30 tonight.

Got the JIC coilovers installed, trans bolted to the motor with the kiggly kit, and the motor installed in the car. Also swapped rear rotors out for the slotted ones I had sitting here.

On to the pics.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

FFFUUUCKCKK yyyeaaahhh!!!

I know a guy with a digital auto temp gauge....

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Sweeeeeeet! Looks great Nick!

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Nice progress!!

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Any suggestions for break in. 10-30 conventional with zinc additive? I'd research but back at work and have no free time but would like to pick up today or tomorrow.

Thanks in advance.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

New motor? I'd just a dino oil and put in some additive maybe.

Someone made a post about oil somewhere, i don't remember. But don't worry about it too much, oil is dependent on tolerances used more than anything from what I've been told.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

VR1 non syn with an additive. Done. Thanks!

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Hey that's my thread! Most of that is already after initial break in in my thread. What I did was just put in some really cheap 30wt for initial start up. I ran it for 20min between 2k and 3k rpms varying it the whole time. Then i put in amsoil break in oil. Ran that for the first 30 miles then changed the oil. Then i put in amsoil break in oil again and ran that to 250 miles then changed to a couple conventional.

Regular conventional though too

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

The traditional school of thought was to use a non-detergent oil with no friction modifiers, so the rings had more friction to establish their wear patterns against the cylinder walls.

The people over at Bob is the Oil guy keep finding high concentration of Molybdenum in new cars when they preform a UOA, so that kind of blows the old school theory out of the water.

Frankly, I'm not sure what to believe any more.

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

So what about rotella t5 with a zinc additive. Rotella is what I plan on running once is broken in to.

Thanks Shawn. Ill figure this out kinda wanna start it tonight!

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Map usually has amsoil break in oil in stock ;-) it's like 7 bucks a quart. Let me know if you do start her up. If I'm off work I'll swing up if you want a hand

Re: 2G auto S/A daily
 

Now in stupid carpet layer talk. Lol.

But yeah I don't think it matters as long as you get that zinc in there.
