quichedem 03-21-16 09:27 PM

I would advise removing as much stuff as you can before spraying anything. I'm sure you will re-upholster the seats, but aren't you getting overspray all over your dashboard and interior plastics? I wouldn't think scrubbing overspray off of all that stuff would be a good time. Your show though, brother. I'm just enjoying the ride.
Keep up the good progress. I come to the builds daily for this thread. Not the flashiest, but I bet I'll learn a trick or two.

bzebern 03-22-16 09:03 AM

no overspray on the dash I cover it with a towel I know how hard it is to remove it takes more time removing it than covering it

This is not the final stage im just tired of looking at it in different colors black white red blue this is still gonna sit for a while parts are scattered everywhere if its not in the car I already got a plan going on but I just dont have the money to to do it once I get the coilovers wheels tand ires then im gonna hit the engine bay

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1704/...314bb09f_z.jpg86 by nakahachi, on Flickr

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1660/...b9369e32_z.jpg89 by nakahachi, on Flickr

its only a spray can so it off course it will still show filler marks but once the actual sealer is sprayed on 3 times it wouldn't show anymore

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1720/...b1ecfeea_z.jpg93 by nakahachi, on Flickr

next time will be the roof and the door jams

bzebern 03-29-16 10:36 AM

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1524/...cf9df894_z.jpg105 by nakahachi, on Flickr

Thanks Jeremy for the coils worked out a deal with me

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1543/...f8fa0ebc_z.jpg104 by nakahachi, on Flickr

took it apart to check how the dampening is and also if its shot
but its good

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1536/...fb474ddc_z.jpg103 by nakahachi, on Flickr

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1616/...e4545036_z.jpg101 by nakahachi, on Flickr

Im not gonna install the coilovers cause car will be hard to move when working on the engine
so it has to wait till later once I got the car on jackstands

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1441/...812339c9_z.jpg102 by nakahachi, on Flickr

bzebern 03-29-16 10:39 AM

MaczPayne 03-29-16 03:20 PM

This thread is amazing. It's quite the inspiration for me to get off my butt and work on mine!

bzebern 03-29-16 03:51 PM

I probably have the worst fd out there i had found some descent ones after i bought mine and im still finding some more. But im already hooked on this one so keep moving forward. Some people strip a perfectly running car for no reason lol

I hope i could encourage all people to finish there car thats been sitting for a while
Just compare what i have to your car which is way easier to work with

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, literally. Thanks for documenting all the stuff you're doing on this build. Who doesn't love seeing an FD get resurrected from a sure trip to the junker?

bzebern 04-01-16 12:58 AM

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

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1617/...bce33bdc_z.jpg38 by nakahachi, on Flickr

started to take out the rotors

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1546/...c89b1bb4_z.jpg31 by nakahachi, on Flickr

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1512/...02ffc19b_z.jpg32 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

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1589/...be1cdd93_z.jpg46 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

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1609/...fd17ce03_z.jpg45 by nakahachi, on Flickr

after you do all of them install the rotors

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1662/...1156a715_z.jpg44 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

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1498/...bf0e808a_z.jpg43 by nakahachi, on Flickr

and there you go this is 50mm by the way

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1693/...43b23354_z.jpg42 by nakahachi, on Flickr

installing the tires back

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1529/...d1d74a27_z.jpg41 by nakahachi, on Flickr

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


https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1698/...13a9e96a_z.jpg39 by nakahachi, on Flickr

bzebern 04-01-16 10:51 AM

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


https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1443/...b6ec8e85_z.jpg113 by nakahachi, on Flickr

bolting it up

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1716/...3f68aae3_z.jpg114 by nakahachi, on Flickr

checking it all good

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1620/...2a78e2da_z.jpg115 by nakahachi, on Flickr

bzebern 04-03-16 06:44 PM

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

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1686/...a47e0448_z.jpg1 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

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1527/...02c551d1_z.jpg2 by nakahachi, on Flickr

checked the spark plugs still good

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1719/...798b4d8f_z.jpg6 by nakahachi, on Flickr

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

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1541/...d1d7a65f_z.jpg7 by nakahachi, on Flickr

started taking it apart

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1523/...3322dc86_z.jpg4 by nakahachi, on Flickr

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1621/...b33c4e6d_z.jpg3 by nakahachi, on Flickr

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

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1465/...b1509ecd_z.jpg5 by nakahachi, on Flickr

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1506/...bd167be2_z.jpg9 by nakahachi, on Flickr

clutch is shot of course

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1702/...e34215e4_z.jpg8 by nakahachi, on Flickr

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1636/...f5e7e010_z.jpg10 by nakahachi, on Flickr

took the oilpan out

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1643/...09d80262_z.jpg11 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

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1677/...8f4c0575_z.jpg12 by nakahachi, on Flickr

bzebern 04-03-16 11:39 PM

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

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1466/...c084a790_z.jpg19 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

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1634/...2ae6b3e9_z.jpg25 by nakahachi, on Flickr

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1573/...af29a2cc_z.jpg26 by nakahachi, on Flickr

passenger side first going to the firewall

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1673/...08db7ee3_z.jpg27 by nakahachi, on Flickr

then driver side

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1467/...1424ea45_z.jpg28 by nakahachi, on Flickr

finished

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1567/...1db3acc8_z.jpg29 by nakahachi, on Flickr

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1608/...640ca24d_z.jpg30 by nakahachi, on Flickr

Im not lazy and theres is on one to help me i have to keep going one step at a time

but im happy with the outcome for now

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1501/...a154b225_z.jpg15 by nakahachi, on Flickr

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1714/...da8ba741_z.jpg3 by nakahachi, on Flickr

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1689/...bd678a74_z.jpg4 by nakahachi, on Flickr
