subscribed great job

[AVmagneticZ]

thanks guys.
been real busy lately with some other stuff. trying to pick a color to paint the engine bay. i could stick with the white like the interior but a cool color could look nice. Hopefully ill make some progress with that this week.

here's a teaser doing a photoshoot soon. as well as filming a little something something tomorrow.

[AVmagneticZ]

so i had an issue with the 4.3 final drive swap. I was told if i got an r32 gtst pumpkin all i would have to do is take out my 2 way from my s13 non abs and throw it in the r32 one. turns out the ring gear bolt holes are different. so i would have to machine my 2 way? anyone have experience with this? i noticed the axles are different on each pumpkin. where as one friend i talked to told me how his were the same and he just swapped carriers ?
anyone?

[AVmagneticZ]

well for now a temp solution is im going to run the diff that came in the r32 and weld it up. not ruining the 2 way. ill keep it on the side until i find the correct gear set that mounts to my 2 way.
who knows i may like the welded diff life better.
anyways just sanding the engine bay on the s13 hoping to go grab some primer and get that done tomorrow.. until further updates heres a shot of the z33 from yesterday

[AVmagneticZ]

paint prep can blow me. this took way to long lol.
its all sanded, Next step is wash/degrease the engine bay, but its like 0 degrees out here which is bullshit. so im not gonna bother today. tomorrow is going to be nicer.
After that going to build a quick tarp style booth to cover the area, mask everything and spray the primer i got today.
im looking forward to the next picture i post it will look a lot cooler.
also i still dont know what color to go with for the bay. i dont wanna give it away but the outside of the car is going to be dark brown metallic shown in this next pic.

Cant wait to see it painted. Good luck man!

[I<3BEWBZ]

Car looks great man. Love the s2000 as well.

Canada

[AVmagneticZ]

thanks guys!

Done the first layers of primer.
I need to decide on a color asap.
Some ok ideas
-Audi Grey (nimbus grey?)
-light pink (I dunno..)
-pastel yellow
-white
It's got to be a light color. maybe i can throw some metallic or sparkly clear coat ontop

[tricky_ab]

I'd go with white or grey... I'd place white a head of the grey.

[mechanicalmoron]

I like ugly colors, but I like the primer grey.

Subscribed, this looks to be going cool places.

[AVmagneticZ]

think im leaning towards a soft yellow, maybe pastel yellow. something close to the club sticker yellow.

+1 to what tricky said. white or grey. I just looked at that audi grey and I would def go with that.

[AVmagneticZ]

all the primer is done. going to spray the rest friday after work. deciding on a color tonight lol.
i have no patience for paint lol but i learned a bit more doing this engine bay.

[Buummp]

DAMN. Subbbedddd. Ill be keeping a close watch on this.

[AVmagneticZ]

few parts came in.
this asd piece is very nice. lightweight high quality you can tell. i owned the k sport before this. NO comparison. love it.

[AVmagneticZ]

sneak peak of what went down tonight. more detail tomorrow

[DILLONDILLONDILLON!]

DAMM YOU!! we dont have time for it tonight we need it now!

[AVmagneticZ]

a few more pics of the finished engine bay, now we had a few issues.
one the base kept spitting out some shit i dunno if it was sitting for a while but when we strained it lots of thick stuff appeared. some must have gone through the strainer.
two there is a few spots where there must have been some chemical residue and it made the paint basically slide off those tiny areas. so i will have to try n touch up unfortunately one is right on the weld on the shock tower and its big.
this shit is very tedious. all that aside it looks cool and the color came out how i like. we mixed two paints together to get this.
the mid clear we put on looks awesome with the speckles in it.
mind u this was all done on budget and in a rush. inside a garage made booth in 0-10 Celsius.
ive def learned some stuff doing this paint job

[AVmagneticZ]

i have some free time now so tonight i just got started. next few days shit should get rollin nicely. i know theres a few bolts here and there i have to get but everything else should be good to go. waiting on a few more engine parts and then that will be ready to drop in.

[AVmagneticZ]

ok started today by installing the fuel pump (walbro) and mounting the battery in the trunk.


after that did some plumbing. new braided fuel lines, routed the lines for the factory brakes inside the car and here you can see where it comes out for the rear. tried to keep it neat. i still have to run the line down for the second calipers in the rear. i have the line all bent and ready to go but i want to make sure it doesnt interfere with anything so im going to install the subframe first. hopefully thats the right move.


put the Chase bays master back on need to secure the lines in place. put the clutch master back in as well. same thing need to clip the line in place...have to go find some clips.


next put all the pedals back in and the steering column. then spent a bunch of time cutting up this old dash i had. this way i can just make one or two nice cuts on my finished dash and know i wont fuck it up. im excited to see the interior done its going to look nice.


ok now the rear subframe. for the diff im just running and r32 gtst diff with a welded. i was tryingto use my 2 way from the s13 but unfortunatly it doesnt work with the ring gear out of this pumpkin. so this is temporary until i get a 4.3 out of a s13 with ca18det or figure out another way. who knows i might like the welded better.
another thing is the LCA and knuckles. money is tight so i have to run the oem ones for now. which is ok. but i plan on getting the driftworks ones soon. i just need to get this thing drifting, fast.
so here it is assembled ready to be put in ill do that tomorrow.


lastly heres a shot of the dual caliper kit. its the one the george guy sells off of here. not bad i had a fucked up issue with mine where i had to shave the caliper a little as well as an issue with getting one of the caliper bolts in. i made a solution but itll be hell to take off the calipers for the hydro lol. anyways works good i used it last year.

[AVmagneticZ]

its coming together. cut the dash got it in today looks nice on the white. and some bullshit wiring work going down. need to route everything nicely and tie it down.


rear sub frame is in so its officially rolling now.. also has the 4 factory brake calipers working as well.

[AVmagneticZ]

ok heres a preview of the aero. going to be fitting these this week.

[tricky_ab]

I had seen that picture earlier on FB. I can't wait to see it fitted

[Redleader540]

Super clean.

[s13_chris93]

Omg beautiful

[smokescreen240]

that kit looks to be really agressive with those add ons and splitters.

just the way i like it!
