Sadly enough i will be swapping out my t2 for a n/a until i can get enough money to rebuild my t2. But at least i will be able to drive my car again.

 

I have to:
-Track down a slow brake fluid leak and fix it
-Finish replacing the shifter bushings
-Replace wheel bearings all around
-Fix an oil pan seal leak
-Detail the interior
-Install new hatch and door weather seals

This is all providied it STOP SNOWING, of course.

 

That reminds me, I need to figure out why my clutch won't hold pressure. I'll probably end up just replacing the master and slave since they're pretty cheap anyway.

 

swapin out my 13bt with the turbonetics t66 for a 13b rew fully street ported , upgradein the fuel system prob reuse my t66 um new fly wheel new clutch . replace the plastic piece over the idiot lights after my rage i broke it , new struts and some urathane bushings all the way around . and then hit the dyno and hopein for a 500hp num =)

 

where are you getting your N/A engine?

 

where are you getting the n/a engine?

 

painted some of my s5 parts, I have brand new fenders and a aluiminum hood to do, while Im at it im going to take the doors off and spray the jambs.
I painted the rest of the s5 molding set just incase I end up not liking the TII skirts on the car.

 

damn thats some nice looking paint!!

 

wish i had a winter project... no money, and the coldness is a mood killer. hopefully in the next few coming weeks the cold weather will break and i can finally get the car on the road again.

 

sanded and polished all the parts that I painted earlier in the week, this way the orange peel, or rather lack of, will match the rest of the paint on the car. I polished them and stored them safely in the coupe for now as I cant put them on until I get the rest of the car done.

Sanded my aluminum hood that I got to replace the steel hood, I guess I went full circle with the car now, back when I originally painted the car I could not afford a new alum. hood or find a used one, so I put a brand new steel hood on, now its time to go back to aluminum. Im going to cycle this in my friends spray booth so that the primer really gets a chance to cycle hot and cold, block sand it, and re-prime it, block sand it again then paint it.

I also sanded my new fenders, they come with e-coat on them, which you can just scuff and paint right over, but I chose to prime them so that the whole car is refinished identical.

Also modified my front bumper, I used structural urethane to adhere another piece of bumper behind the cut outs, this doubled that area up and will prevent it from warping later on. Cut out some of the lower part as well, I have some really nice stainless steel mesh that I might put in the opening, but I will decide that when I put it on the car after its painted.

Im going to have to put things on a hold for a week or so as I have a big job coming in the shop so I wont have the room to have my junk sitting around, got to pay the bills first- play second. I think the next thing I will do is remove my doors to get rid of the chip guard, and while they are off spray the jambs.

 

 

haha thats exactly what I had to do

Brake reservoir was leaking, searched and from aaron cake said to use hose clamps.

I just topped off the brake fluid, so far not a single bit of fluid has leaked out

rebuilding my pos

 

hey Russ- any LMs sitting in your pile of goodies? PM me if you do.

 

To the op Rob XX 7 ... Did you just respray brilliant black?

My winter project includes 250hp on stock turbo, bringing a bnr stage 2 into the mix sometime in late spring shooting for 300hp as a final goal. I have a greddy fmic ready to go in, 680cc gsl-se injectors, momo race steering wheel, and shine auto body kit. Still need koyo s4 rad, apexi twin chamber bov, apexi air filter, rtek 2.1, clean and flow test the primary injectors and gsl's. Followed by a dyno and tune. The car is getting resprayed brilliant black in april.

Currently i'm looming up all the wires for the gauges. When I ghetto installed my defi boost gauge and plx wideband I just threw them in. Now there's wires all over the place and just tiding it all up.

 

my car is a custom black

 

Any idea of the paint code or paint title? Or your painter just winged it?

 

when I painted the car I mixed fast blue tint into my black, creating a darker black. It gets rid of that slight brown or red look that black gets when the sun hits it.
No code- its just in my head, at the time I measured by volume not weight, I have the ratio written down at work

 

woohoo, got the mack daddy of mesh wheels for the car, BBS RS-GTs, supposed to pick them up on Thursday. I wont end up mounting these until the spring, have to get tires for them because they are brand new.

 

looking good Rob, the wheels are just sick!
stay focused and get that thing on the road soon.

 

 

60-1 mounted. fuel system going together this week.

 

ooooo these big turbos are uber naughty lol
