Well I ordered my driveshaft. They ended up sending me the wrong one... So back it goes!:icon_tdow

I plan on picking up a vert for the summer and eventually swapping in a turbo motor too. Keep up the good work!

Nice work so far man! Im actually going to be starting the same project next month. Im looking to get a running vert and pick up the parts while im driving it as a second car. Im getting a jspec TII, but its getting ripped apart for some porting, powder coating and a BNR upgrade. I am actually going with the racing beat exhaust myself. Keep up the good work, gets me excited to start mine!

I found some pics of it today. These was of it being my dd for a few months, and prior to priming the entire car.

Thanks, Yeah for 200 bucks i like them alot haha

fidrift 07-31-11 03:25 PM

really nice i just got a 88 vert myself thing is sweet nice thread

cab91089 07-31-11 06:32 PM

Youre welcome, I like the stock BBS rims on the verts so I think Im going to keep mine on unless I find a set of rims I really like.

fidrift 08-01-11 07:26 PM

i love the stock bbs's on mine too i am definitely keeping them on my car i just want to put spacers on them and lower it alot

cab91089 08-01-11 10:08 PM

Thats cool I was going to put low profile tires on mine and buy a coil over kit, Im not too sure on which brand or exactly what set up Im going with yet. Im more or less focused on getting the engine in the car

Krbyman 08-02-11 12:20 AM

Yeah I really like the bbs wheels...But I wanted something a little wider the 15x6 was just a little too narrow for me... I thought about getting some springs for it...But it handles like its on rails as it is... and I kind of like the stock stance of them...Plus 18's and dropping the hell out of it = Headaches and Cursing everytime I find a speed bump. :scratch::scratch:

cab91089 08-02-11 11:07 PM

18's are big rims, I dont think Im going to go that big if I switch to aftermarket rims just because of how rough the driving is. Ive been in a lowered Integra with 18s and the thing was terrible over bumps and my areas roads are terrible with pot holes. Once I get the money my vert is going to have a decent coil over kit but like I said engine is first on the list.

I hear ya Man! Yeah i am kinda at a slight stand still Just picked up a bunch of gauges for it along with some other small odds and ends. The top actually I found it on ebay. The original one that was on it when I got the car had some pretty nice slices in it and it was sportin the the black duct tape all over it haha.

Krbyman 09-06-11 10:50 PM

What do you still need to do to put the Turbo2 engine in the car? Your project is still looking good man. Im still stuck with the N.A engine unfortunately, money is tight.

Krbyman 09-07-11 10:11 AM

Well I need Oil Cooler lines, and a fuel pump.I am Just wired up the harness on the engine...But Yeah I am getting tired of looking at it and want to drive it haha.

xcloudz 09-07-11 02:36 PM

I'm also swapping my t2 engine on my gtu right now. I'm also in the process of taking out my t2 engine out of my na right now. Where did you remove the fuel line on the engine? i'm having hard time finding it

Krbyman 09-07-11 09:31 PM

So I went on a little spending Spree. Ordered my Oil Cooler lines, Fuel Pump Assembly, OBX 3" Down Pipe, Center Dash Trim Piece ( Mine was all Cracked fell to pieces haha) I am currently on the hunt for some tires.... Oh and I picked up an S5 bumper:icon_tup:

I believe it to be right between the firewall and back of the intake.... I am about to head down there and finish up wiring it I will look for it.

cab91089 09-09-11 08:02 PM

Nice so basically youll be done soon since you just ordered the rest of the parts you needed.

Krbyman 09-09-11 08:58 PM

Hopefully in the next week or two it will be running again:icon_tup: Oh and sorry I forgot to look for the fuel line. I will make sure I do that.

xcloudz 09-11-11 12:05 AM

n/a to t2 build
 
yeh lol i felt so stupid when i found the fuel line. i'm also getting a used driveshaft from another turbo fc. would u recommend a new driveshaft or a used driveshaft is fine?

cab91089 09-11-11 09:34 AM

Awesome! I wish I could say the same bro.

Are you using the same N/A rear end? If you are and you are using a Turbo Trans....You need a Hybrid drive shaft.
