what kinda work do yo do?

driftertim · 03-29-2011, 12:54 PM

Holy Hella Amazingness, read the entire build and nothing short of perfection. This makes me wanna get off my ass and put my car back together. I love that you kept the car for ten years and did not give up. Dont worry, im sure once you have it running, and build a bulletproof SR from your other motor it is worth every penny and every second of time put into it.

boarding2008 · 03-31-2011, 12:27 PM

Very nice man. Loving the detail!

Rally240sx.com · 03-31-2011, 12:42 PM

the Green is rad, I powder coated my valve cover that same color

GO GREEN!!!!!!!!!!

Vegas · 08-03-2011, 10:36 PM

Any updates???

japslapsilvia · 11-11-2011, 08:34 AM

unfortunaly no update yet on the car. BUT seeing as how i hate to work on bare concreate that creates a lot of fucken dust. i decided to take all my shit out of my carport and make a sutible work space. Now im a little more motivated to get some shit done on this car

I used Rustoleum 2part water based epoxy with their paint flakes.

Now im not too keen on the water based idea. So i picked up their solvent based clear with aluminum oxide for traction

and i also decided to pick up one of these

and
another video of it running

I love this build hope you can drive it around soon, looks great for now

hatin' · 01-18-2012, 10:26 PM

any update on the build? it looks perfect so far.

japslapsilvia · 01-19-2012, 07:11 AM

Sorry for lack of updates but started a new job so now I make more $$ to dump into this pos...in anycase here is a sneak peak of the color I chose for the cage

Thanks

japslapsilvia · 10-21-2013, 08:45 AM

The time has come to FINALLY! strip this POS car and send it off to the painter

Tear down begins

i almost forgot how high the stock suspension is

Completely stripped chassis no interior, painter will be doing all the body work and fitting the kit, as well as painting the inside, under the hood and painting the cage.

Hatemy7 · 10-21-2013, 09:17 AM

Damm that is very nice... Loving it

BiG MiKE86 · 10-21-2013, 09:22 AM

i used Earls part number 997517ERL
HOWEVER please note that, they will be slightly too long and will not seal as the BMC has 45* sealing seat, so two options.
1. remove the seat
2. use a drill bit and open the hole in the banjo bolt.

I went with #2 as the banjo uses crush washers to seal vs the seat.

AHH... dammit... yeah I have banjo bolts that are slightly too long as well

Think it'd be fine to stack 2 washers on each side?

i suppose you could, and chances are it would seal just fine, but i would personally rather the bolt being drilled out, as it not much material to remove and only takes a few mins to do

japslapsilvia · 10-21-2013, 02:51 PM

finally this POS is gone to the painter

japslapsilvia · 10-28-2013, 03:52 PM

Some pics from my painter

All the glass pulled out ready for full color change

da_crew10 · 10-28-2013, 04:52 PM

Shift n Drift · 10-28-2013, 05:44 PM

i still havent decided on a color some form of Gunmetal Gray and then the engine bay in a complimenting color, that will also match the cage, and the wheels

japslapsilvia · 10-31-2013, 10:32 AM

Car has been covered in polyester filler ready to be blocked

I still need to decide on a color

racepar1 · 10-31-2013, 10:45 AM

It's funny, all these kids see these nice cars and they don't really understand what it takes to build them. They've got this ridiculous idea that it's easy and will happen quickly. They don't realize that these nice cars took YEARS to build. That's how we end up with so many shitboxes. Kids get into the project and then realize that it's not as easy as they thought.

While I may not like the style of this particular car, nothing but respect for the time, effort, and of course money that went into making it happen!
