Holly frick, look at that lip!!!
It looks awesome

took out my turbo to fix the broken studs


gave up on that idea and bought an S15 BB T28

cleaned the motor a bit



then i ditched all the old brake lines and ABS system



and started re-building the front brake calipers



Progress is pretty slow as I work full time and can not order the custom brake lines in person
Been doing this on a very tight budget as I'm saving for a trip to Japan in Nov

Hopefully my brake lines will finally be made next week as I placed the order this week, so I can start making progress again


Low life problems: where is my paint...

[180roman]

Made a list of things I need to do before November

-Rebuild front Calipers
-ABS delete + new Hard lines
-New braided brake lines all round
-Add flex pipe into the dump/front pipe(the cause of the snapped turbo studs)
-Fix turbo/new turbo
-Fusebox relocation/re-wire(if time/motivation allows)
-Fit knuckles(had them for over 6 motnhs and still not fitted, i'm lazy...)

Over the weekend I took off the exhaust to get it modified with a flex pipe and measured up some lengths for the new brake lines I need to make to remove the ABS.

Might not get much done this weeked though as I'm going to go watch a drift comp.

Did a little bit of work on the car

Stipped out the final bit of sound deadening from the boot



and painted it



Stripped the paint off some wheel centers for a while



and bought more wheels



I actually bought 2 sets of wheels, but the other set will be a secret build
