wow! looks great! love the seats and harness

 

Well It's been quite some time and not much has changed on the car. I have been hitting the track from time to time and been having fun with the car. I took it on a few small road trips, switched from RA1's to slicks, and played with set up. Was able to hit 1:26's at the local track.

I sold the brakes as I didn't need them and they weren't really my cup of tea. I got some new RLCA's

I got a Haltech PS2000 and a header then hit the dyno.

Before/after

I never got to run the car at the track like this. My motor started to use oil on track and the smoking was only getting worse. I looked at rebuilding but thought the $ would be better spent on a swap. Pulled out the old...


Started prepping the new motor.




Test fitting.

On to the bay. Remover the stock mount and cut down the Hasport mount. It's half the weight now.

Cleaned up the A/C lines


Painted

Worked on the harness. Really just a reloom. Just like the motor. I'd rather have thing easy to work on then look super clean. I'm keeping the fuse box in the stock placement ect ect.


PS fittings

Built a fuel line bracket.


Welded in the mount.

Got the rad. I will see if these fans will do. They came with it.

How it sits with out abs, fuel lines, ect.

 

Looking good.

 

would be better if the bay was painted

everything looks super clean and well done as always, im pumped to see whats next.

 

Awesomely clean ITR. I like how you're not hiding the wires...function first. Either way, it looks great. Keep it up

 

Looking dope young J

 

wow man this thing is sick

 

Gonna be badass!

 

I love the old evo wheels on the five lug.

 

looks really good im lovin it but didn't asr have a warning about drilling into the lower control arms for the abs wires?

 

YEP! And it was all b/c of me... They are still going strong even with that HUGE hole I drilled in them. It was function7 BTW my sway bar is ASR.

 

hahaha oh! i just remember seeing that thread a while back and it look like the same pic! yea i meant function 7 not asr

 

Did a little work on it today.
Cleaned up the hood latch.

Got all the rust off all the spot weld on the rad support and primed it.

Did the same to the new mount.

 

give me a call when its done so i can drive it

oh yea, i like your strut tower bar =P

 

Sanded down the primer, removed most things from the bay, and cleaned the hell out of it.

 

Type R looking tight, love what you're doing with it. Keep it up!

 

so nice

 

keep up the good work

 

lookin good! what plastics were scratched?

 

build is looking dope so far are you thinking of going turbo as well

 

Nope, no turbo on this car. If I was doing that I would have stuck with the B.
'what plastics were scratched? " I think your referring to these?

 

Nice looking car.

 

Well after days of waiting for paint I got the bay painted today. I know its not the best bay ever but this is the first time I have ever painted.
