That engine and trans look beat. Can't wait to see where that goes. Keep bangin'!

 

oil leaks everywhere
will be fabricating an oil pan soon and mounting it car is done with its shoes on

 

so today I bought some extended studs locally
store is from ebay but talked to them I could just pick it up and they said yes yes cool

38 by nakahachi, on Flickr

started to take out the rotors

31 by nakahachi, on Flickr

32 by nakahachi, on Flickr

don't need to take this get pressed

you can used a vise grip open nut a long washer and a little bit of muscle

46 by nakahachi, on Flickr

my technique you have to install the brakes so the vise grip would have some leverage
when tightening the nut until it goes halfway

45 by nakahachi, on Flickr

after you do all of them install the rotors

44 by nakahachi, on Flickr

then jam a screwdriver when tightening

you will be able to tell if its tight enough cause you can turn it anymore

43 by nakahachi, on Flickr

and there you go this is 50mm by the way

42 by nakahachi, on Flickr

installing the tires back

41 by nakahachi, on Flickr

its dark and a little bit high cause there is no engine


39 by nakahachi, on Flickr

 

so this morning I forgot to fix the passenger side skirt and fender door is hitting on it
I have to trim down a little bit


113 by nakahachi, on Flickr

bolting it up

114 by nakahachi, on Flickr

checking it all good

115 by nakahachi, on Flickr

closes opens fine now

116 by nakahachi, on Flickr

 

so i borrowed my wifes dslr camera and just playing at 4 corners

r1 by nakahachi, on Flickr

r25 by nakahachi, on Flickr

r28 by nakahachi, on Flickr

and reborn

IMG_2735 by nakahachi, on Flickr

IMG_2736 by nakahachi, on Flickr

 

so I moved the car to the other side just to get a clearer mind
too much sh!@#$ next to it

1 by nakahachi, on Flickr

have to start on the engine im cool with the body for now

fd trans on the right still debating if im gonna use this cause theres a lot of mod involve
specially the trigger sensor wheel is on the flywheel this is the killer here aside from the fd is a pull type
I couldn't find a bellhousing for the 2200 also so theres a lot of factors to consider

I don't want get a standalone maybe later want to get it running on stock ecu and just throw in a piggyback for tuning cause I m gonna go boosted on this

compared to the existing transmission all I got to do is extend the shifter custom driveshaft and
trans mount

2 by nakahachi, on Flickr

checked the spark plugs still good

6 by nakahachi, on Flickr

did a compression test but my battery is dead so I just did a leakdown
all cylinders are good

7 by nakahachi, on Flickr

started taking it apart

4 by nakahachi, on Flickr

3 by nakahachi, on Flickr

this is where the trigger sensor on the bellhousing connected to the flywheel
this is weird how they designed it

5 by nakahachi, on Flickr

9 by nakahachi, on Flickr

clutch is shot of course

8 by nakahachi, on Flickr

10 by nakahachi, on Flickr

took the oilpan out

11 by nakahachi, on Flickr

so I can measure how much I need to cut it

around 2 1/2 front and 2 3/4 rear oil pick is slanting gowing down

12 by nakahachi, on Flickr

 

so I couldn't wait till tomorrow so i decided to cut the oil pan tonight

14 by nakahachi, on Flickr

16 by nakahachi, on Flickr

18 by nakahachi, on Flickr

17 by nakahachi, on Flickr

cutting and a lot of cutting

19 by nakahachi, on Flickr


grinding the pan for welding cause cant weld it with paint and oil on it

23 by nakahachi, on Flickr

i gave it an extra so will just trim it when welded

22 by nakahachi, on Flickr

i cant make an engine mount not unless i get this oil pan done

 

Impressive 👍🏽

18 by nakahachi, on Flickr

 

my son Gabriel went to say good morning to me love him so much and cant wait to take this for a spin with him
he's my inspiration...

19 by nakahachi, on Flickr


this wasn't in the plan today but I installed the jdm harness I have so at least
I have something to tap with going inside with the right measurement for now

one on the left the harness that came with the car it was cut at the ecu area
so I still have a spare I need to use the headlight and fuse box so I don't have to make one
anymore and just eliminate the once I don't need

25 by nakahachi, on Flickr

26 by nakahachi, on Flickr

passenger side first going to the firewall

27 by nakahachi, on Flickr

28 by nakahachi, on Flickr

29 by nakahachi, on Flickr

30 by nakahachi, on Flickr

so theres still light outside at 4 pm so i worked on the transmssion a little bit

testing the fd driveshaft if its gonna fit the getrag one from the kia

15 by nakahachi, on Flickr

fd on the right too big wont fit

16 by nakahachi, on Flickr

then i measured the fd transmission
3 by nakahachi, on Flickr

4 by nakahachi, on Flickr

kia transmission is 6 inches shorter

2 by nakahachi, on Flickr

trimming the ends of the trans cause i have to extend the shifter rod

5 by nakahachi, on Flickr

6 by nakahachi, on Flickr

hopefully this gap is good enough but will find out later

7 by nakahachi, on Flickr

9 by nakahachi, on Flickr

10 by nakahachi, on Flickr
