well its been some time since i have updated this.. so here it goes... Motor is in, and wired up.. FML what an ordeal... first engine harness was f'ed, so bought a si one... woot it works.installed an oe exhaust. lower tiebar and some other odds and ends. so then thats all buttoned up and i bolted my front bumper on.. yes its coming off to get painted...
got the rest of the dash installed just looking to add a few pieces
and installed my HID kit: they are F"IN bright{respect}
as of 9- 10 - 10
just some random pics
10 - 10 - 10 update.... body work and paint... woot{DANCING-banana} buddy is coimg over tomorrow to bleed brakes and clutch... im excited 7 days till i insure and rat bag... DRIVE IT LIKE I STOLE IT...(for brake in reasons)
anybody know a good site for lifter adjustment diy??
Weird thing is im not all that excited about driving it.. i donno why. i have been building this car for to long. like yesterday i bolted in the seat, after getting the dash all done and the center console in, sat down adjusted the mirror... and well nothing.. Ugh i hope that i dont hate this thing when i am done... to many dope parts.... would be a killer part out.. and then it is bleed brake time and clutch... and then maybe i will get a days insurance... Who knows.... update and pics maybe to come...

ok so i bled the brakes and the clutch... and took it for a drive... seems kinda slow.. but i didnt have brakes, came back put in a one way check valve, went for another rip... brakes got better.. had some grinding noises coming from the passenger side... think its just the dust shields on the brakes... so a lil tweaking and we are good to go... oh and re bleed the brakes......i guess im a lil more excited now that its getting closer to insurance time...Thursday is the big day... still kinda scared that im gonna brake sht..and i still have yet to figure out if im gonna put rear seats in. i kinda dont want to..but we will see.

so brakes are fixed. car runs great. well except for when its warm, wants to die so i have to keep my foor on both the gas and brake.. any ideas? other than that car is EPIC. OMFG is it EPIC, so im moving the car to storage as i moved into an appartment building and cant work on it there. anyways on the way to storage, dropped it from 5th into 3rd and lit up both tires, smoke coming off the tires into the windows and into 4th and the same thing, gets grip and GONE!!! omg so much fun. So now that the car is in storage i bought a pathfinder and that is my dd for the winter and i think i will sell it come spring. Still looking for a few things to tie up the build...
