              I kinda like the wheels, they look allright, car is clean.
              Keep up the good work.
              Forget about bad roads, forget about speedbumps, go as low as you can, 'cause low is a lifestyle!

                    This is pretty sick. I like the wheels too, gives it a sort of classic look

                      bumpers getting closer to being fixed



                      and the motors slowly piecing together, waiting on some valve springs, then itll pretty much fall together

                        its almost done, more bog and sanding today, gotta finish a few spots tomorrow, but hit it with some primer before, looks good.

                          its painted, just have to do the chrome vinyl now, not sure if i wanna try the chrome, or leave it black and paint rear bumper the same. might try the chrome, if it fails, ill go black rear bumper.



                          comparo in height vs stock valance, its only a little bit taller, but its the whole way around, not just the very front



                          test fit on the car, needs adjustment, but will do that once i put other guards on

                            got my megajolt ignition ecu, this will replace the dizzy, so i can adjust timing to suit the new cam and compression and such.

                            this is the unit



                            pretty small(with mounts added)



                            guts shot, main board and hard rev limiter(dont wanna be blowing this thing up easily :p) the blank spot is for onboard map sensor, but im using tps instead



                            and an end shot inside the case



                            finally decided to buy some real filters for the carbs, this is the same mesh i was using, but in proper form. these guys fit snug over the lip of the trumpets, but ill be adding some safety wire to them just in case they get blown off, so they dont go running down the highway

                            stainless top layer, stainless filter mesh in middle, stainless bottom layer



                            went and tried 2 on when i looked for multimeter, theyre a bit close together, but i can trim a bit of the urethane off to relieve them a bit


                            today we put the head and timing gear on

                                MOTORS IN!!!!!!

                                now i have to bolt up all the extra bits, run some wiring, clean up some not needed wiring, and should have it running tomorrow sometime.



                                got my vacuum manifold bolted on yesterday, got hose for it today

                                (good shot showing ports into head)



                                and dummied up the carbs to check clearance of dipstick and other bits.




                                and some basic info on the rebuild for ollycarbs :p

                                rx4'ish radiator w/ twin fans

                                will be putting megajolt ecu on it when my edis stuff arrives, and pissing off the distributor. also have remote oil filter and oil cooler to put on when i get hose and fittings, and make an adaptor to replace the oil filter housing.

                                also slowly setting up boosterless brakes, with wilwood powerlite calipers on each corner, scalloped rotors on the front, 2 piece rotors on the rear

                                (ignore the rear rotors, turns out i bought the wrong ones, and cant get scalloped rears for the hats i have, waiting for payday so i can order new ones from jegs)



                                radiator with fans and shroud



                                testing dual master cylinder pedal box(still not finished) tight squeeze, damn rhd e21's



                                autometer cluster to work with e30 gearbox(has no mech speedo drive, so i added y own elec sensor to the diff). will be replacing boost gauge with oil temp soon, since i dont know when/if i'll be going turbo(cluster was going to be for an sr20 conversion, damn m10 got the best of me though :p)





                                thatll probably do for now, ive got heaps of other bits ill be doing on it, just need more moneys
