Well i finished up with the hubs! brand new bearings and dtss eliminators. pretty stoked to see how different sliding is with them, but im sure its not really that different....

ran the hubs through a parts cleaner and scrubbed with wire brush, if i were to do it again i would have taken the extra time to sand blast them after...



im kinda ocd about this kind of thing and i clean everything that comes off the car before it goes back on ... heres the hardware for the hubs

Dude, clean my car, you saw how dirty it is! Lol. Looking good man.

 

It's your truck I presume? Keep the gradeschool comments off this forum or you'll be getting a vacation. Thanks for cooperating

 

u can use body filler in whatever temp. i live in oregon and do bodywork for a living. jus add a lil more hardener

 

haha yeah thats true. i dont have to use alot of filler though so its like i dont want to mix it and be left with it hardening away haha ill be starting soon so we will see the out come. ive gotten pretty good with body work after my first car hahahaha

 

thanks alot bud! im trying my best to do this build they way i want it. the cleaner the parts the better! haha

 

What'd I do?

 

Kick him off! But really, it's my truck, we're friends, he was joking. Plus he's jealous that I have something that can leave the garage under it's own power.

 

^^it's cool . Just don't need any F-bombs being dropped on this forum, people get offended

 

yeah guys watch it man. i dont want that kinda stuff on my thread! hahaha just joking! yeah if you havent figured it out yet me, mxrider guy and the ifc3slide dude are all friends and we all unfortunately own rx7s.....

 

Do more stuff to motivate others.

nice car man i have the same style of cage seeing yours makes me think i should have keeped all my interior lol

 

You daily with a welded diff?

 

yea he dailys a welded and they really are my coilovers on the front lol

 

tempted to gut my 7 and make it a drift car

 

Cool build thread! I look forward to seeing your progression.

How is it drifting an N/A? I'm about to buy an FC, and I'm trying to decide if I should get an N/A or wait for a TII. :-/ Thanks, and goodluck!

 

Sorry guys haven't posted in forever! got a little disappointed in my car and didn't want to do anything to it anymore. also ran into some job and money problems. But i have a new job and have some motivation again.

Just a couple updates so far! Car is officially parked and i bought a S5 JDM T2 motor to swap in! about to do some major work and get this build thread going again! thanks for all the positive stuff said on here!

 

Ok here is an actual update for once. Like i said before, its official the car is parked and being prepped for battle. A couple of things have happened since my last update, I have purchased BC coilovers and some other big things for the car. Took her for a last drive with the N/A then parked her.







JDM S5 T2 Engine and Trans, Pretty clean if you ask me.





And heres some pictures of a couple things i have ready so far. New SPEC stage 3 clutch, Reman OEM T2 front calipers, Rising RPM Block off plates with OMP plugs and Throttle body adapter, and my box of Megasquirt 3 stuff (pretty much done assembling the ECU)










Big things to come. started ripping apart the engine bay today and hope to have the motor out by the weekend! i have some stuff for sale so let me know if you need anything, i might have it! Thats all i got for now

 

This car has the aids... On another note frank I need to come order me front mount!

 

Got to work on the car alittle bit today. Waiting on a engine hoist to pull the N/A and prep the bay for paint. so in the mean time i started taking out the interior.





Here is some of the interior, pretty clean and for sale!





And my first let down of the build. i have always known that my sunroof was a goner but went to take the headliner off and it was pretty bad. but on a good note i believe its just the frame and the shell itself is still fine. ohhh rust how i never seem to be able to evade you....











Pretty nasty i know but whatever. if there is any damage to the shell i will fix it. Well thats all i have for now. i cant wait to get to the point where i am actually building and not posting pics of random deconstruction. Lateerrr

 

I just realized... I don't think haters are gonna hate any more

 

I knew the doritos would win you over.

 

Ohhhhh blobby, you just dont understand....
