One last one, i bought 2 steering wheels one for the track and one for cruising or whenever i feel like switching it up, im still waiting on the other NARDI to come in.. anyway i picked this up from a buddy

NARDI DEEPCORN

 

well im sure most people wouldn't go with a wood wheel but its not for performance it's for my style im in to the lux/drift crazy look. gutted interior with a wood wheel will look crazy.

 

Sounds like you need an Ls1... >:^)

 

my car will never see a lame ls1 swap

 

If you knew how to tune a rotary, your car wouldnt need an LS1.

haha

I'm just messing with you.

 

Harsh...

 

V8 > Rotary? nawwwwwwwwwww

 

get them wheels painted and mounted, I want to see!

 

We get no love on this forum.

Nice progress, my friend. You seem mechanically adept -- why not build the motor yourself?

 

im sorry i just think putting an LS1 in car that was meant to have a rotary is just plain ******* stupid, but, i still have love for the motor just not in my car. to be honest with you this is the first time i have ever done anything like this, if i had the money i would pay to get it done, there is a reason why im doing it my self this time...... but i rather not get in to that. i didn't want to build my motor cuz i have no prior experience on it. i plan on buying a blown one and see if i can build it but we will see.

anyway had some time today so i took my calipers off sprayed them silver. im pretty happy i wasn't trying to get them perfect just hated the faded red from the last owner.



the paint i used



all sprayed up !!






from nasty to classy

 

i forgot to mention i hit the calipers with like 4 or 5 coats i also painted my diff brace. why ? i dont know i think i was bored.

 

Oh Baby

 

some progress on the car got my front mount on



sorry for the horrible angle but the banzai diff brace installed and painted silver.



new polished LIM and my fuel rail i painted silver

 

painted and wrapped my down pipe with DEI exhaust wrap and paint.







and yes i know the zip ties wont hold.

 

I love this pic:




Congrats with the build! It's looking good. (My jealousy is beyond words) I wish I had a 13b to blow...

 

\Went to banzai today too pick up my motor and a few other things. I cant wait to drop it in !! took some pics of the cars at the shop also.

 

also picked up

banzai motor mounts



and

banzai oil pan brace

 

Damn, that is one CLEAN shop

 

You better believe it! Chris's shop is always looks that way too.

Looks great! Now get to work.

 

Remember this post ? well i got my wheels back and all i can say is OMG i personally think they are sick as hell im so happy with the out come i cant wait to get them mounted once mounted it tire tucking time !

are you ready ?






































Let the hate begin !
