Last night I ended up tradin the brides for a set of clean set of US R seats and some cash

Sick ya I saw those on cl. Your car his hella clean. One question though if you have dd seats than are your other one's are for track? wouldnt it be pain to swap seats just for a day though?

dapek

^^Seats only have four bolts each, 2 minute removal

Hell ya Coop, that's a good trade for those Brides
Clean up those Recaro seats son! Glad to see them back.

Johnnydc

god i want those red recaros lol

skipunk4

Oo those covers would be nice..

Thanks for the words man. The plan is to run the US R's until I get rails for the SRD's and get them all cleaned up. Then I can switch em out whenever I want. I will most likely end up selling a set, but for now they will work

Agreed homie

Lol they may be for sale in a bit

macknjack

not pretty but effective

I'd rather just have backup seats lol

Dropped some stuff off at powder coat yesterday..

- Front strut bar
- Front bumper garnish
- Front bumper side mounts
- MC brace
- Ohnlin's damper mount
- Rear engine breather



Rear bar is already installed but will have it powder coated down the road, bad planning on my part but oh well lol

Also dropped the front spindles to have the ball joints pressed in. Should have the suspension all up soon!

Looks good dude! you update your **** more than I do mine lol

Watch out with those black oxide coated cap screws. They will rust since theyre not stainless, and that coating isnt very durable.

skipunk4

Lol I'm tryin to keep on a schedule and as you see all these updates are just parts updates, not much work bein done on the car I am hoping I can get all the rear suspension on the car today. We'll see how it goes.

And dang really? I specifically told them I needed ones that wouldn't rust. They had some that were like a powdery flat black that they said would rust, so they special ordered these other black ones that they said wouldn't rust..

SHG_EasyE

If its black oxide coating then they will rust. It will take a bit, but as soon as you tighten them with an allen the tool will scrape the coating off. The rust starts there then where the screw gets tightened down on whatever part its going into it will scrape the coating off the bottom and rust will start there too. Stainless or zinc/nickel plated hardware is the only way to go.

skipunk4

If that's the case I'll definitely just end up goin with all stainless hardware. Don't want to have to worry about anything rusting in the bay. Thanks again for the heads up man

SHG_EasyE

NP man I found out the hard way. It sucks to have something all perfect and together then deal with rusting hardware.

Tempura

Nice project, keep it up!

9KRevLimitDC2

Its all coming along nicely for sure

skipunk4

Already replaced the hardware all stainless and some new OEM Honda hardware

Thanks man gettin closer!

Preciate it man, wait til you see whats comin in the next couple weeks


So the car still hasn't seen any progress, I finally have everything for the suspension just waiting on a few ball joints to be pressed so I can put it up.

Picked up a front camber kit today. Wanted one that wasn't red so I went with the Blox one



Nice and simple and identical to the Skunk2 except silver





Also got an order from Honda I was waiting on





New ITR front brake pads and GSR rear brake pads



Got a few things comin this next week, big update coming sooon
