I could pull a piston that small out of my weedeater that is broke or any small engine repair shop should have a few busted ones. Well **** it looks like I might have to start building some of these lil guys! I wish I still had all those dam rotors from my FB.

Gorgeous CYM man and thank you for your service. I just picked a CYM R1 up myself a few weeks ago and have begun some work. Mine will be a slower drawn out rebuild. I'll be following your progress!

Sorry for the lack of updates guys, after DGRR I got deployed for two months came home and went on leave for two weeks to see family. Went TDY shortly after getting back to work and now I'm on the road for another month, but before going on leave I dropped engine of to Rotorsports and picked her up shortly before leaving this time. So I have a brand new engine in the garage and will hopefully be able to get back to it once I get home!

Well I haven't had much time home in the past two years, but it looks like I'm getting a break for a few months!!! Here is some of what I've done since my last post, not much but better than nothing!

Sub frame was stripped and repainted with high-temp paint and is installed with the manual steering rack.

My old brake lines were busted so I replace them with braided ones. does it really help.?.... probably not, but it looks good and they are new.

More updates to come!

So since my last post, I got busy! First I grabbed a cherry picked and put the engine in.

Then I ditched the JDM harness and grabbed the USD I had hanging out. This one was ten times easier to strip down, the tape rolled right off.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the front port that you have plugged on your boost controller supposed to be vented to the atmosphere? Mine has a small filter on it.

From what i understand for single turbo operation, the NC and COM are connected and the NO is to the atmosphere. For twin operations the NC is open and the NO side is connected.

shetlen, i would double check that. i've had that same boost control solenoid on several cars and i've never seen the vac lines hooked up like that. i can't visualize how the air has anywhere to vent with your vent port plugged like that.

can you post pics of the rest of the wastegate and vac lines setup?

It is vented, the plug has a hole in it. I'll check to see if it's fine there or I will just take it out. Thanks!

Im glad ur still working on her....very nice car. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build. Not sure if I missed it, but what was the reason you decided to go single vs staying with the twins?

The reason for going single was to just accept the inevitable, knowing I would have wished to do it in the first place.

Thanks guys! I do not know which wheels I'm going to run yet, probably the ones that are on there until I find a better set later on.

Well been busy TDY and home with the family as usual but I'm back in NC. I got in some CXracing coilovers due to all of mine being blown. I heard good things from them on other car forums so I will give them a shot.

Not sure why only the left fender well was painted and the right was not? Either way I will be putting truck bed roll on lining on both sides. bad thing is, it is hard to get my garage up to painting temps with the outside temp 18 degrees.

Well I got the garage barely warm enough to roll on some truck bed lining and I will not do that again, it looks like crap with the brush strokes in it. When it gets warm enough I will get the spray on to finish it.

It may look good from far but not up close



All the brakes are off now! They will be yellow once the temps warm up.

These things are dirty, rebuild kits on the way!



Time for coilovers to go on! More to come.
