Your build is coming along, will be interested in seeing the car at DGRR :)
A few random things: The rubber strip on the 99 lip can be taken off, it's just there to save you from the first few scrapes. You're going to like those Hella horns, they are LOUD :D Did you get used R888s? I'd be very careful with those suckers on the street in anything that's not warm dry weather. thats what i figured for the lip.. never seen anyone rock it tho so wasnt sure if it was common... what should i use to clean off the sticky stuff thats left behind it? something that wont fade the lip color...? haha hella horns are coool! never heard them in real life nor did i ever have a horn in the FD so it should be funn:icon_tup: yeah the r888 are used.. hope they last me long enough for this year... and give me traction on the dragon lol... Hope it doesnt rain for dgrr :(

Yeah, I've got 275 R888's in the rear, very slippery when wet. In the cold they seem to warm up very quickly though.

car update...
routed one of the abs lines.. wasnt too hard, need the fittings to connect it tho.. anyone know where i can buy em? http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/p...s/P1010111.jpg http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/p...s/P1010112.jpg http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/p...s/P1010113.jpg Painted half the engine bay.. came out okay. i hate painting and sanding, plus im terrible at it. http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/p...s/P1010115.jpg http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/p...s/P1010114.jpg plugged the omp lines http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/p...s/P1010110.jpg any tips to clean the engine block? besides simple green and a brush? |
I'm rooting for you to get this finished before deals. If we both make it
to the event with our fully redone engine bays, I propose a toast and cheers to the progress. If not, one of us has to buy a beer for the other and pour it out in honor of the fallen :-) keep on trucking bro! Rob |
I salute your obsession. I like the blacking out of the bay. Certainly looks better than mine.

bump, more updates
does anyone have any reason to oppose me routing my wire for my battery relocation like this? (of course adding the necessary grommets) |

Why use a 5 meter cable when you only need 1 meter to the starter motor?
|
Yes. But you can run the cable directly to the starter motor, not the front of the car.
|
hmm pic? i just followed the link that everyone uses...
|
the car looks great. i like the black engine bay.
