well i built the car the first time when i was young and dumb to say the least alot of things were half *** done and just to get by well now its time to do things right with a full wire tuck and brake tuck and just to make everything nice the way it should have been from the start

the very first day i brought it home



i was only 16 at the time when the motor first blew so i told myself i want to turbo this thing and im not driving it until i do so thats what i did it sat for a year while i was collecting parts for the build



in the process of rebuilding it with a built turbo ls


did a half *** wire tuck or attempted i dont know what i was thinking at the time but i am paying for it now



i ran out of money and time so the car sat for about another year and half or so. when i graduated from high school i decided to finish the build since i had saved up enough money but still was trying to rush things.

this was the first day it moved out of the garage under its own power in almost 3 years



what it looked like with some new wheels and a couple of shots under the hood it is a built ls bottom end with eagle rods cp pistons stock crank and acl bearings on 10lbs it made 233hp and 210 tq not to bad of numbers for something just thrown togethor really.






but it is all fixing to change i walked outside one day and looked at my car and just wasn't happy with it so it comes apart again and i am doing it the right way and the way it should be done it is getting a full engine wire tuck, brake line tuck, new shiny parts under the hood, new ram horn manifold, new intake manifold, abs delete, purple suspension, type r interior, and anything else that comes to mind. she will also be sitting on some volk te37s bronze in color but on with the pics of the tear down parts are being ordered every paycheck so i will try to keep the pics rolling as much as possible

first things first the dash had to go


then the heater core and blower motor


check out all the parts in the back seat i cant wait for my black interior


when i was young and dumb and drilled a hole in the side of my engine bay will be fixed soon


the shitty tuck i did its all coming off and getting redone right


pulled the passenger harness through taking the abs harness out


so far the small pile of wires and loom i have pulled off


it already looks so much better with no fuse box and battery and all them wires in the way hahah



i will update more soon... i am starting on the passeger side tonight and taking the intake manifold off and then waiting for my parts to arrive chase bays harness ftw

 

do it right or dont do it at all, but at least your doin it right the second time round, i hope.

 

Thats right but when you are young sometimes things just dont click and the ricer mindset takes over we all have been there done that. But this time it is going to be magazine quality

 

got a little done today its been freezing cold down here for some reason so i can only work so long before im freezing my *** off not used to 20 degree weather on the coast

started pulling the abs out


abs all gone its starting to shape up so far


started taking the stock intake manifold off and removing the engine harness


intake manifold off and engine harness out time to start tucking the brake lines and the fuel line better




passenger fender off and ready to start tucking the passenger harness again


the pile of junk so far


hopefully my parts will start showing up soon im running out of things to take off.

 

good luck with that!

 

x2

 

well i didn't get to much done today hopefully tomorrow i can get alot more done but its been in the low teens here so its hard to get much done to cold i got most of the tuck done just need to finish wiring a few things up its looking good so far

starting to pull the passenger harness


re doing some of the harness making it neater


passenger harness ran and all tucked up nicely



starting to pull the bb and mc



bb and mc all gone as well as removing the rest of the brake lines



and the trash pile keeps growing

 

Look dope and i did give the engine bay a nice paint job.

 

looking real good man..i love db's. keep us posted on the work. btw is the abs simple to remove? ive been wanting to do the abs delete on my db8.

 

thanks and i love my db its awesome and it wasn't to bad taking it off. if you wanted to convert yours you would just need to get the rs front lines master cylinder and brake booster and just swap it all out and you should be good.

 

well heres a little update been welding up the bay and starting to shave everything turning out good so far

 

nice build. i feel like you need a 96+ valvecover to smooth out the bay otherwise looks good

 

Nice progress.

 

i am going to be doing a fully built ls vtec turbo

 

few more pics of some work i have been doing











more pics from today sanding sanding sanding its starting to take shape finally







few pics of some welds from the other day i didn't post up

 

good **** man. i gotta stop lookin at these wire tuck jobs haha it's the only thing i haven;t done
