i picked up some oem rear z rotors thanks tho tonio. well i was dialing in my front suspension and at full lock my knuckles dont touch the bump stops so im going to mod my extra set of knuckles to make them work until i can afford the pbm front knuckles.

also waiting on these to come in from pbm so i can drive my car already.

[dat925stunna]

Cool shit ill see wat i do with them then lol

Great build man.

[Lil_D]

well i was looking over my car and made a list of things i still need to do before i get the rear knuckles and get my car on the road.

mount intercooler correctly
mount the oil filter
mount my battery box
fix my vacuum leak from the fuel rail
hook up my new HUD cluster
wire up my defi water temp gauge
mount the water temp gauge and my safc
pick up my sparco seat
buy seat rails or get custom mounts made for seat
fix and mount my fan switch
get my exhaust fixed and mounted up
fix my hydro mounting
get rear fenders welded then overs mounted
get an alignment
paint my car all one color so i dont get messed with on the streets
Clean my interior and trunk.

im trying to have most if not all of this done by the time the rear knuckles come in so i can just put the car on the ground and drive it

[Lil_D]

test fitted my buddy's version select front bumper on my car (same one i have minus group a vent)





things are coming along now. set the safc up to where its supposed to be for sr, found a stock drivers seat to run temporarily, found out why the water temp gauge isnt working, cleaned up the interior of my car a little bit. but the only bad thing is i have no room in my garage right now so i cant really work on the car too much right now

I want to see more, and I'd like to know more about using an engine hoist on that sloped-ass driveway!

Mine is similar, and I've yet to try to snatch a motor out.

you just have to be ready to catch the hoist just in case but the motor weight keeps the front on the ground so it doesnt really want to slide down. i weigh 120lbs if i can do it any one can lol

[mishimoto]

^ The weight should keep it from rolling, however some chocks on the wheels may be wise for safety. Looking good OP.

[Lil_D]

ordered my defi control unit last night and started my car after messing with the safc a little.

heres the video lild415: reikokuxdori: @Lild415

sounds better and definitely revs all the way out. im happy with this i cant wait to drive this thing if all goes well in 2 weeks the pbm knuckles will be in and i will be able to drive again

thanks guys (ノ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

well the defi control unit came in and i just finished installing it and setting the warning

i need to tuck the wiring .-. but this is where i mounted it



and my ugly gauge/safc set up



sorry for shitty iphone pictures

[brian310]

i wanna see this thing driving. it sounds beast and your build is amazing. i wish i had a job to afford all the fuckin gangster suspension work youre doing T___T you and justin are going to have the coolest cars in norcal ahha

[Lil_D]

well nothing really new except i have to wait another month for the rear knuckles -_- fml so my plan is to borrow some stock knuckles and taking my car to my buddys shop to get all my welding done. then hopefully drive it around his parking lot then it will sit on a trailer till the pbm knuckles come in

[Lil_D]

so i got the stock knuckles on and the car on the ground going to be taking the car to my buddies shop to get the welding finished and over fenders mounted after i get an alignment.

well heres some pics of the car the way it sits now

[Lil_D]

well i drove my car for the first time in a year and a half today its decently low i need to fix the exhaust from rubbing and mount my fenders then the car will be streetable here are some pictures





hood is temporary till i get my dmax one cars coming along in the right ways finally

[Lil_D]

well i was trying to figure out why my car wouldnt hold idle and then i smelt gas really strong. I looked on the ground and saw this

yes thats all gas.

turned the car to the on position to look for the gas leak then found this


well no more gas leak now but i found a vacuum leak and i cant figure out where its coming from

ouch! easy fix though! Autozone you go

[Lil_D]

well fixed the gas leak but it still doesnt want to idle damn vacuum leaks.

also bought a pair of front wheels from upgarage



drove it to the gas station yesterday and i had a few little problems with the car on the way there and back ;__; but atleast i got to drive it

i did get the minervas hopefully my buddy will be shipping them out this week so i can put them on

also got a email today saying my rear knuckles have been shipped and are supposed to be here on monday then its time for alignment and putting the overs on

[Lil_D]

so i got these after waiting since september only problem is that one hole on each knuckles is off by a few mm so the a bolt wont go in straight on the front caliper. but i fixed that by drilling it out a little


got them installed to almost complete my rear suspension


i left my coilovers at max low and decided that this is the prefect height for the rear of my car


my goal is to be scraping oem style side skirts under compression. minervas should be here in a week then im going to adjust the front height so i wont rub. i also need to cut my fenders higher so i can be as low in the rear as i want to be.

[Lil_D]

well got the minervas in and they didnt fit my front brakes so i had to put the equips up front







a bunch of my friends came over to help me with my idling problem



got some spacers and put the minervas up front. i need to make them wider ugh

[ein024]

Good shit.

here is how the car sits currently



have to lift the front a little so it doesnt rub with the stupid 225/45's on the front. going to fd long beach on friday and saturday will also be piecing together my wing startign at long beach.

the weekend after fd im going to try and take my car to the shop to get the fenders cut higher so i can put my car back at the height i want and put the overs on so i can get it painted and ready for the streets finally

[ShadowMan]

Coming along. But I think your right knee will tire of that defi contol unit after a bit. i had my greddy turbo timer and boost controller mounted in the same spot and I ended up moving them. But maybe it was just the way I rested my leg. Ah, who knows, maybe it won't bother you at all.
