- Wed Apr 04, 2012 2:08 pm #300914 I just watched this video about those collars.

Those collars are really cool. I was really surprised by how much they actually help. I wanted to buy some after watching that video and looked up the price. PW JDM wants $230!

I'm also eager to hear how the steering feels. My eyes got big when I saw that rack.

Thanks man it took some force to move those tie rods into place to mount up but well worth it. And when we installed the collars it was instant difference that everything bolted up really easy. Only thing I wonder is if they are one time use or not. But definitely worth the money in my eyes.

Thanks, and if I told you, you would probably cry. And I am no where near finished either. blk95coupe has seen the list of items that are still left to get and he told me I was crazy. But its all worth it.

So I didn't shot any photos today but worked on the car all day as well as watched Blk95coupe put his new ex trans into his 4 door, with a new clutch and flywheel. I should have pics up tomorrow of the progress. Baby steps I am not rushing this build at all going to take all the time that I can to make sure everything is perfect. Or at least the way I want it.

Special thanks to Bks84 for all the brake tuck work yesterday. All the lines came out great. Can't wait to get the bay painted and finished up. And the brakes. In the next month.

- Fri Apr 20, 2012 1:01 am #302357 Well this month the car has been put on hold my DB7 decided to shear off one of the ears on the start and the head gasket is starting to go so I am going to knock it out before it does any real damage.

Image

Other than that I am picking up my new air compressor this weekend and its costing me but its so worth it. I will post pick up after I get it home and installed. I did get the rest of my brake fluid today all 15 bottles of wilwood 570 fluid. Might do some line relocating, to clear some other items.

- Tue Apr 24, 2012 3:53 am #302690 Head gasket was not blown yet but you can see where it was allowing coolant into the cylinders, not a lot but enough for it to run a bit off.

- Tue May 22, 2012 7:39 am #305753 Well project has been put on hold until I get my other cars up to par. Working on a 03 civic EX 4 dr right now, got to put a new trans in it (auto) Thumbs DOWN!!, and a timing belt, water pump, cam seal, plugs, etc. Its almost done just waiting on a trans to show up. So I should be able to start working on it again hopefully by the end of the month.

But I did finally get this thing all hooked up and new wiring run and going. Helps to have good air when doing BS work on cars anymore.
