Thanks guys!

Got lots of work done on the car today.. Pulled the motor out and removed all of the brakes/suspension

Here's how the car is sitting at the moment..



Also changed my mind once again about the motor setup Wasn't liking the LS Vtec idea so much and came across a pretty good deal so I picked up the new heart yesterday



No more ls vtec, instead mild built poor mans R

Also picked up a minty rubber ITR intake arm from donut. to replace my ugly stock LS one



And some 4x114 ITR brakes. 11" rotor vs 9.somethin" rotor. Should fill out the NT03's nicely



Brakes just need a refresh, but they will be nice and fresh before goin on.

Also the motor is going to be getting torn down over the next week then its off to the machine shop

Thanks man. The bay is completely stripped right now, only thing left to do is drop the steering rack and subframe. Then its time to mask and spray. I'm still havin trouble tryin to piece my fuel setup

But ya man I really didn't want to do ls/vtec but just had the block and was on budget but ended up sellin quite a few parts to fund this new project and am stoked to see how it comes out. It's gonna be a totally different car I can't wait haha


Pikced up some early version bride zetas from a guy up north the other day. Hella cool dude. They're nice and light. Gotta get me some rails!

Thanks for the kind words man Good luck with the project. I'm sure you'll love the new suspension setup. You have pm


Put in some work on the block. Masked off all the openings and started scrubbin away. No paint here



The crank pulley bolt is givin me A LOT of grief. Hopefully have it off soon and get this bad boy on a stand.


Got my new clutch master in the mail today. OEM s2000




State of the car at the moment...

Milano pink bay...soon to be no more (sorry bout the flash newb photographer)



Interior is stripped and firewall needs some masking then onto paint.




Still waiting on quite a few parts, but more and more stuff keeps comin. Can't wait to get her back up and runnin

It's not as difficult as most people think. Just takes time and patience and good labeling skills haha.

This is the 4th time I've "re-done" the bay and each time I take it one step further and each time I learn more and more.

Started tearin down the head the other day. Still tryin to decide what all is getting done to it before it goes on the block. Sucks the guy I got the head from had painted it and it is a pain trying to get it off...




Also got all the studs and brackets that I wanted off the firewall and in the bay shaved. Got the bay all cleaned up and the firewall masked off.



More parts comin this week. CAN'T WAIT!
