Type R buildup from Scratch... phase 7.. comming to life *NO 56K*
Well dosent look like she will be ready for the car show this weekend.. but sometime taking your time is the best thing to do.. For the past week ive been assembling the motor and hooking everything up. Honestly, this must be one of the most confusing set ups ever done,, there is so many heater hoses going places its unreal... thank god I did it myself so I know where everything goes...
I am gonna try to get it started up tomo... or latest monday.. and be on the road in about a week or so......
When I got her: 3 MONTHS AGO
After about 50 hours: LOTS OF SANDING
Add another 12 hours: ZINC PRIMMED RAD SUPPORT WELDED
Umm 15 hours later: PRIMMED AND PREPPED ENGINE BAY AND INTERIOR
5 hours later: NICE BASE COAT/CLEAR COAT,, look at that shine!
only 5-6 hours in and its started to look like a car again!.... Gas tank, break lines, wire harness, master break, clutch, pedals, subframe, suspension........ time to go home!
another 8 hours... I HATE BREAK LINES
And shes off for paint.. Ill miss the multicoloured look! NOT
5 damm weeks later... ahhhhhh oh well its life!
clean and silky (still not buffed)
still lots of work ahead of me
Umm windows are in....All bran new! so much $$$
Wohoo its comming together, interior is almost done!
Towed to my other friends garage (ADtuning) so he can help me out with the motor!
The car now had a red heart.....installing a motor and making sure not to scratch the engine bay was a pain in the assssss
Trial set up with the water cooler,, damm thats a tight fit!
Umm looks sexy!
The final set up
Looks like an intercooler... NOT its a heat exchanger
Now I just have to install my water reservoir tank and water line,, then I think she can be fired up!
WISH ME LUCK

lol, i love it when people try to twist logic into somebody's pride and joy...
it's a learning experience, and it looks like he did most of the work himself....who cares if he spent $2.67 more?

Look so hot. And kudos to you for even attempting such an undertaking.

Nothing like the feeling of finishing what you started
