Sounds good, carry on! If you don't mind me saying I would suggest replacing headstuds with ARP units, however you have to retorque them after the first 3-5 heat cycles if assuming they are brand new.

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 05-16-2007, 08:40 PM

Yea I'm thinking thats probably whats gonna happen. just trying to save money, the less it costs to build this thing, the less its gonna cost for u guys!
But I might pay for them myself, since its going in my car

xblack240x · 05-16-2007, 08:52 PM

Wow, what a build, can't wait to see the results.. Thank you SOOO much, I'm pretty sure all of us here at zilvia are happy for what you are doing... Hopefully everything works out, and good luck, and continue with the build =)

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 05-17-2007, 06:48 PM

GRR, tracking number says its supposed to be here today, but it doesnt say it made it on the truck

UPS = FAIL!

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 05-18-2007, 09:21 AM

Does anyone else see whats wrong with this?

Flipzide · 05-18-2007, 10:01 AM

mr_240sx · 05-18-2007, 10:23 AM

it arrived in oakland but left from vernon???

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 05-18-2007, 10:30 AM

It got to oakland, never left, then magically appeared in Vernon, then made it to sylmar. friggin UPS!

xblack240x · 05-18-2007, 10:41 AM

LOL, yeah I use USPS just cause I like their tracking and service better, stuff gets to where its supposed to when its supposed to... UPS screwed me over twice, I even had to drive down to one of their warehouses to pick up my own package once... Hehe good luck and continue on

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 05-18-2007, 10:43 AM

I guess monday I will have more stuff, for now I'm just gonna paint pulleys and accesory brackets.
Maybe I will finally put my Recaros in today too.
(should I include stuff in this build that doesn't pertain to legal JDM?)
wait wait wait, this is my thead I'll do what I want!

AbsoluteZero · 05-18-2007, 11:05 AM

How the hell did it end up in sylmar... that same thing happened to me as well... stupid ups

easy for that to happen. i worked in UPS before.

the guy who scans packages as they arrive is the guy who loads them into the truck. you pick a box off the feeder, check the zip, scan it, and then load it into the wall. UPS expects you to keep up a very brisk pace with loading. i forget the numbers, but to say its roughly 2000 boxes in 2 or 3 hours. that's roughly 5 seconds a package, which sounds about right. the scanner itself is a wrist mounted device with a laser / trigger device mounted on your finger. you point it at the barcode on the package and it usually scans, but things go wrong with it quite often... dirt, wrinkles, etc.

when the box load gets heavy (which happens quite often) the belt and everything gets jammed up and everything goes to hell. that's when packages go to wrong locations because the loader doesn't have time or is too fatigued to check each and every box zip code accurately, and/or scan it in time.

liv2drift045 · 05-18-2007, 07:27 PM

Nice build man. You goin w/ a metal HG or factory?

drftwerks · 05-18-2007, 07:32 PM

ok for nox, what do you mean tunning???

your gonna use aftermarket ecu for the car???

how legal is that??

no good fix for nox otherthan egr, but we shall see.

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 05-18-2007, 08:01 PM

Factory for now, as oem as possible to fit as many people as possible.
Tuning I mean rom tuning, stock ecu tuning.

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 05-18-2007, 08:40 PM

No Recaros. but I did get a Jonnie Fraz SPL power brace. I <3 it.

!Zar! · 05-20-2007, 10:40 AM

Yeah, get your tune on! hahaha. Hope everything works out. Maybe contact Jim Wolf or you could try Scott at Enthalpy. Best of luck tuning. Because of you I have another car just sitting at my house waiting to be driven legaly. hahaha.

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 05-20-2007, 11:03 AM

Thanks Mel.

InspireMS · 05-20-2007, 02:11 PM
