Here we go go! Original 1997 kouki 5-spd. Purchased last year, but due to life circumstances (lower back surgery) didn't get a chance to start the build...

What's that burning smell? CRAP. Time for a new clutch! Went with the White Bunny kit. No complaints for the $$$ so far.
Thank you Ryan @ TR Automotive in Clearwater! Friend of a friend (that knew some other friends) help for me right after I got out of the hospital and was in no condition to even lift the parts boxes, lol. ![]() |

Time to fix that nasty SQUEAL! Replaced the steering rack with a reman. Urethane bushings, all high pressure lines swapped out to -an stainless lines. Also changed tie rods and ends.
Thanks Audi Scott for the hookup on the lift / alignment! ![]() Last edited by octanejockey; 11-19-2016 at 10:05 PM.. |

OMG.
I HATE Florida right now! My sunroof apparently had a leak / drain hoses plugged. My car was parked outside for a month un-checked. During that time it rained hard as hell, and leaked inside the car. Can anyone say MOLD DAMAGE? F(*&^*&^(Q*#)R*&!!!!!! FML right now! Well hey, now I get to fix a sunroof seal, AND rip out and steam clean an interior! FANTASTIC!!! At least I think I did a pretty good job installing the new seal. Looks pretty close to me. ![]() ![]() |

More bad news... The water / mold sat in the floor boards too long and rust is starting to form. In order to remove / repair I have to first take out the sound proofing. UGH, this sucks...
Nothing like dry ice and screwdriver for a day (or two) of fun. That bucket isn't even half of just the sound proofing at almost 18 lb. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I met with Landon over the weekend to iron out a few little bugs on the S14 metal door skins. You can check the before pics above, but now the skins clear the speaker pods, and made a trim panel for the drivers side door switches.
*I ALREADY KNOW THE SPEAKER PODS NEED PAINT* These improvements are available on all future versions of the skins... ![]() ![]() |

Now that the skins fit the way I want, next plan is to cover them in carbon fiber (real stuff not vinyl)... More on that later.
