Basically did a bunch of little things today that needed to be done.

I ended up going with hard lines again instead of the braided lines for the main rear lines. The hard line should technically give you a better pedal feel compared to the braided lines being used as the main.




Sealed up the ends of the mount to prevent them from filling up with water on rainy days. Then gave it a shiny new look

Siliconed plugs in the holes I wouldn't be using.


For the brake and fuel lines I put a rubber grommet in the holes and then siliconed them shut.


Pulley kit is fully on now, I also replaced all my vacuum lines and rear coolant lines/clamps.


Engine is in for the last time and I started on the wiring.


Axles are in

Dude this is gorgeous. How many hours do u think you have put into this thing so far?

Rear brakes are now done, using 93 Infiniti g20 pads


Hacked off the factory mounting bracket and made my own. Line clears the wheel fine.


I replaced both front bearings and seals since the driver side one was iffy. Rocking the new fastbrakes setup!


I needed a remote hydraulic clutch reservoir so I went to one of the local junkyards hoping to find one off a 240. Instead I had to settle for one off of a Honda. Can't complain thou it was only $5 and it works. I do need to clean up the bracket thou.


Bleed the line and the clutch pedal feels good and tranny shifts good.


Started on the fuel cell cover.

you deserve an award meng...this build is "insane" definitely living up to the Co. name

Here is the 3" dowpipe I made next to a stock Gti-r downpipe. Will be running 2.5 rest of the way back.


There was a bunch of small stuff that I completed through out the week but i'm not going to do a update post everyday on that stuff.
