si i got my jdm ys1 tranny bolted to my ls motor last night and today after work i put the motor in and got it started. i ran it for about 30 seconds and shut it off. im gonna finish putting the suspension and front end back together tomorrow morning. i cant wait to try this ys1 out.

 

New belts, new alternator, new battery, gallon of oil, and a new xbox360 controller. Gawd i love pay day!
If you're feelin to get WOmPeD on Halo Reach, come see me: Dat1NME

 

Our cars come stock w/ tow hooks front and back, adding an aftermarket one doesn't really make it any easier to steal. I opted for a strap instead of a metal piece so that it can be concealed. Best of both worlds as it's more functional than stock yet still hidden.


Tow strap pulled out and ready for the track:

yeah black g35 sedan

 

hey colin did you make your own mounting kit to mount your battery where it is or did it come with the battery im looking to get the same battery and mount it in the same spot

 

That's exactly why I didn't want a normal "bling" type tow hook. They have more negative attributes than positive ones. And IMO the attention you get by having one is one of those negatives.

I got mine from I/O Port Racing Supplies, it's extremely affordable, and easy to install as long as you have the stock front bumper support. Eventually I want to put my JDM bumper support back on which means I'll need to come up with a more clever mounting location, but for the time being this works just fine (Just so happens I spun out and got stuck in the dirt the day after installing the tow strap. Tow truck pulled me out no problem) In case you're interested / are some pics of my install. There's actually already a hole in the right spot, all you gotta do is purchase and install the hardware plus notch the bumper foam.



The bracket itself is just the standard one you can get from Summit, JHP, IL4, Portable Power...etc. But I had to figure out how to mount it in that location. I used nutserts. They are sort of a combination between a rivet and a nut. They look like this:

And when installed look like this:

With that said, I plan on moving the battery. Originally I liked the idea of having it be clean and small in the engine bay w/o dealing w/ extra wires running into the cabin or anything. But after seeing my corner weights I've decided every last pound possible needs to move back and at this point my battery is the only obvious thing left that I can move. Plus it'll allow for a more ideal intake mount.

 

didnt know you had a set of these!

 

Lol, I doubt someone would jock my style since it's stock Those are Kosei K1's look like and I'm on Enkei RP02

I also like how my car is stock and has way more done to it than a bunch of these cool cars that are slammed with 1 pieces. I built the car to be driven with function, especially it being my daily driver.

 

DD's are nothing with out some funk-shway

 

Oh don't get it twisted homie, my DA has a lot of FUNK and souuuuul

 

My baby is funkier than a mosquitoes tweeter!

so i just finished up all the last little thing after my trans swap and now it wont stop leaking. i ran to honda today and picked up an axel seal cause it seems to be leaking out of the int shaft where it goes unto the dif. also it looks like its not going in all the way. someone else on another post said that there is some cap that is leaking. i dont see any cap at all. ive tried removing and re-installing this damn axel 3 times now. i was even whacking away at the int shaft mount for the back of the block and it wont seem to go in anymore. it didnt leak with the old ls trans and i looked at the old trans and there are no prats that im missing that i can tell. the original owner was a f**king idiot and was missing alot of stuff. like CODER PINS!!!!! who does that. well any help would be appretiated! any pics too of this cap i keep hearing about. i will take pics and post tomorrow.

 

that's a good write up.. i'm gunna follow this one also

 

Except that a DA has a different rack with three ports.
