. Thanks Adam, I'm diggin' that tittle, hah. Steering bind is a super scary thing. It usually is more common when steering geometry is messed with; although, it is possible with mostly OEM components. I would check your "universal joint" (the joint where the steering shaft/column connects ...

. Hi everyone, looks like everyone is making progress on their builds. I just wanted to check in with some updates on this project. Been a nightmare as always...where to start....hmmm. 1. Switched out the V2 knuckles. The spindle is very difficult to get off because nylon lock nuts are used and the ...

Looking good! That's how the excessive pan should have been made to begin with in my opinion. So what's next? throw some paint on the rear of the pan, put everything back together and check for leaks?

.

. So here is the result: http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt352/cleantune2/IMG_0853_zpsd59ea70n.jpg The steering rack mounting points were moved forward about 25mm. There is still room to access the front two holes for steering rack bracket bolts. The old steering rack had been leaking for a while...

. ^Yes, I agree completely, I think that absolutely helps out. I love going to performance shops too for motivation and watching videos of pro comp cars- dudes change out parts trackside like nothing and pull all-nighters just to make the events. Figured it was about time for more pictures... http:/...

. yes, lots of patience haha Thanks man, that's the goal. Finally put the brake caliper halves together! I'll have to detail this process later. As of right now all the halves are together though and lockwire is installed. Still need to clean and then reinstall the pistons and seals. Also, had some ...

Making progress! Your persistence has given me more motivation to finish some of my own projects. Thanks for posting those videos too. As for that oil pan, I like your thinking: cannot get to those bolts without taking off the trans so... new trans! hah, I would've prob done the same thing. I vaguel...

.

To state the obvious, this is the day after MA Motorsports has their open house. 24 more days until this event!

End of this month!

What knuckles you running? The knuckles pictured in previous posts are the V2 knuckles from GKTech My man, you made my kaaz install a one man job. Thanks again for posting! Almost certain that I would have been swearing while trying to wrestle the pumpkin by myself if I hadn't seen your posts. Nice...

. ...just waiting on a few parts to be ready. Right now the engine is being held on an engine support bar (red bar structure shown in older post), with a jackstand supporting the junction between the trans and engine block. Currently the front suspension is pretty bare. In the meantime, just researc...

. Wow, you did work on that fender! That's looking great. All the contours look spot on; must have taken a lot of time and finesse to coax that metal back to shape. Whats the plan for the head light? Does it still work (with new bulbs? There was a video by Nori Yaro on youtube, in which an R32 used....

Man, sorry to hear that. Tubular would be a great solution; could even have the tubular front attached with a sleeved bolt in kind of setup for quick change/removal. Swapping engines would be a breeze, hah. As I'm sure you know, these tube front ends and front bash bars can also be designed to purpo...

he's back!

. Thanks Wes! I'm making progress on this, but without a whole lot of physical results, haha; more problem solving and research in prep for other things at the moment. Few updates: Fitment of the caliper on the knuckle and with the rotor should be great without the need for adjustment, but just in c...

^I like that idea Wes. Oh and definitely tuck in those ends after safety wiring (like Wes's pics); I'm sure you've felt how sharp those ends are :) The hardest part about safety wiring in my opinion is just knowing when to stop; I safety wired my snap rings on the rear LCA ball joints haha Everythin...

Hi everyone, I was looking at the wire clutter in the engine bay the other day and started asking myself: "how much of this stuff is really being used by the aftermarket ECU?". I was discussing this with someone who is running a Pro EFI standalone (which can utilize an O2 sensor input) and...

Wow, you're really moving along with this project! That is such a great idea to use clear plastic tubing to get the angle correct. Those welds look waay better than mine would, hah. If you don't mind me asking, what voltage are you running with the welder? 120 or 240? and are you using shielding gas?

. Thanks for the support guys! A law change like this would have such a devastating impact on the aftermarket automotive industry; putting not only race organizations into extinction, but also parts manufacturers and aftermarket tuning shops. A large majority of after market shops' gross income come...

. I was shocked to hear about this the other day. We need 100,000 signatures by March 10th to stop this prohibition. By the second day this was up to about 70,000. Currently there are over 130,000 signatures. Lets continue to make this vote unanimous. This would put many race series out of business ...

. Getting back to the brake project, I tested out some torque specs using an in-lbs wrench (this was okay since nothing was stretching...I hope). If nothing else, it provided some necessary confidence in both how tight the joint is and that the holes for the safety wire would still work with the ext...

.
what?! yeah man, get that stuff installed, so you can have even more fun figuring out your settings!

.

. Glad to hear everything is working as it should now. Adam, thanks for clearing up the "bov crushing". I don't understand the comment about a bov always being open when under vacuum. Doesn't the spring keep the dsm bov closed under a small amount of vacuum? I thought it wasn't until there...

.
interested to know what you find out on this. I would definitely look into PCV to make sure this is not clogged or stuck closed as well as any other restrictions in the venting system

.

I crushed it today slightly (2mm) and I'll see if that helps, but I'm doubtful.. ....wait, what do you mean you "crushed it", like physically?! What did you guys use as intake pipe to recirculate too? Everyone just weld something custom up? Would something like the S15 Turbo Compressor In...

. Your build just continues to amaze, excellent work man. I'm learning a lot from your progress on this build. Thanks for posting those links too. Now I think with engine stuff like this no one will question the level of attention to detail this stuff deserves and that you're giving it ; especially ...

.
Wow these manifolds look awesome! Nice Work. About how long does it take to complete one of the manifolds shown in the pics above?

.

. That's such great news, I love hearing about stuff like this! Yeah let me know how everything works out. If you or anyone else on here ever have any questions please feel free to ask; I'll be sure to continue to do the same when I read about or attempt to do new projects that you guys have already...

. While I was looking for some pics, I came across one I had found online for the diff collar install (4 bolts); this would have been a lot easier than the way I struggled to do it, haha. If a jig isn’t available, one can bolt a piece of flat bar to one side of the diff to help keep the diff from ro...
