Picked up the parts from the anodizer today. It is a clear type3 "Hard" anodize.

Took the car out for the first time around the block.
There is a few things that need to be adjusted. The front struts are on the softest setting right now. they will need to be adjusted to a firmer setting. rears could use a little more compression, but that is not going to be changed right now. Brakes need to get broken in. a few more little things here and there and it's good to go. pics will follow in the new year. |
Congrats!

Looks awsome. Is that car fast?

I like everything but the big sticker on the rear window, but to each his own. Nice work!!!

Thanks Tech.
Small update. The quick steer spacers allow for quicker turning, but because the end point has shifted closer to the origin, the tierod travels along a smaller radius simulating ~2.5 lock to lock, but the rack is set for 3.5 turns lock to lock. that is a problem for the rim hits the swaybar if you try and turn all the way. hmm... a limiter is now needed. Simple solution with some aluminum parts found: Attachment 20201 Attachment 20202 Attachment 20203 Attachment 20204 Attachment 20205 not pretty, but functional. Total cost: free - time spent |

Finally found some free time to put the intercooler in.

Fine-looking work. How's it running?
|
Thanks man. It took us all last weekend to remove, modify, and install everything. Now the pipes need paint, or polish. not sure yet.
It runs pretty good right. Just really needs more pull in first. An Exhaust, cam, and 10psi will help there. |
they wont slip out or anything? right

Got the helpers in, and test fitted them with some homemade adapters/seats.

That's an NPR i/c, right? Regardless of whatever it is...looks great! You need an RSI cam...IPD at the least.
|
Yep, NPR ic. THanks man.
I want to get a stage 1 cam from RSI, but no money right now. |
I hear ya! I was lucky that the IPD cam has gone up in price since I bought it; sold it on TB and only had to pay $30 or so to get the Stg II. Nice to see patience on a car build like this. The usual for young folks on a budget is to give in and start "cheaping out". This car is obviously gonna be a keeper for ya!
