Bought it =/

 

Congrats, ehime. Make sure to service anything you aren't 100% the last owner did recently. Do you have any pics?



I feel you Jack. My car has been firmly in project status since 2010 after having the first of two children. My priorities changed, and extra money goes to family stuff. I've got great aspirations still.

My dad has a 56 Chevy he fixed up in the 80s and took off the street to redo in 2000. He is still finishing it because of determination and years of memories with the car. We just have to take it slow. It is frustrating, but worth it in the end.

 

I put on my cusco strut bars

and not too long ago put on my Tokico Blues in Tein S tech springs.

I ahve more in my album if you want to see stuff =)

 

Still need to make a shift boot but it's getting there.

 

Worked more on the TII Motor/Tranny long block - nearly assembled and ready to drop in the car, then the wiring begins. Welded up a fun little oil filler neck to go around the intake.

 

Thats a clean surround. Please explain

 

Looking good guys.

 

Thanks! A guy on norotors sells them blanks for like $160 its made of aluminum. I had it powder coated added the vents ect.

 

Nice. I like the clean look

 

Now I just need a suade shift boot to match my infini seats.

 

I like what you did with the car.

 

5000k 50w Sakebomb HIDs installed. Unfortunately, my iPhone didn't do them justice. Very pleased!

 

I have a set of the fc version they made. Soooo much better than stock or H4 hid setups I had before. I bet you are glad to finally be able to see at night.

 

I did this...been working on it here & there over past couple months...

 

Had a coworker come over and help me lift my 2jz block onto the engine stand after dislocating my shoulder last night. I'm also almost done sanding the exterior down to the factory paint.

 

Bought a turbo 2 this week. Shes been very neglected. Yesterday took off the uim to inspect grounds and stuff. Found a bad looking ecu ground and cleaned it. Removed some randomly added ground wires. Noticed the omp rod was disconnected. Today drained oil, coolant, transmission fluid and replaced them. Also replaced plugs, fuel filter, and air filter.
Ordered dual alt pulley, belts, ngk plug wires, new uim gasket, and new shifter bushings. Hopefully get it running this weekend

 

More Nikki stuff...

 

Hey guys, haven't posted here for awhile, been busy with work and military stuff. Anyway, I've made some progress on my fc since its been down. pulled the motor and broke it down (oil control ring decided it wanted to go kaput), took out all the a/c hoses and other miscellaneous whatnots. Yesterday, I bought a full s4 TII swap for 500 bucks. Motor has roughly 130,xxx to 135,xxx miles on it. Came with pretty much everything i need to do my swap, minus a tii diff. Super stoked! More updates as progress is made. I'll take more pictures as the week goes on.

 

Made a trip to Des Moines and Olympia to pick up my engine, trans, drive shaft, and complete GSL rear end on Saturday. I am a few odds and ends away from ready to install it in the car - and after that, an exhaust system away from being able to drive it.

I bought the rolling chassis without a plan to get it going, but the plan seems to be forming itself

 

Got on the dyno, 10.5psi, 288hp, 225 lbs/ft tq @ 6800rpm.

I am also accumulating all parts for the switch to Fuel injection. Big boost, here we come.

 

Now that's what I'm talking about!

 

Procured a 20B for it (the 13BT was taking forever to get off the docks)

 

^^^ Lemme port that thang!!!!

 

Jacked up the fc 2" and put my snow tires on!! Hopeing for snow!!
