Rage build
So here it goes, where it is all going to start.
When i got the car it looked pretty good needed some work for sure but i plan on getting it to the level it deserves. Gonna be long road, and always looking for input. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...21127077_n.jpg this is where i am at https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...93520579_n.jpg https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...29337057_n.jpg https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...76491622_n.jpg with the turbo out waiting for a replacement ! https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...59596554_n.jpg https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...95402905_n.jpg https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...71623710_n.jpg AND NOW SOME PARTS https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...25557913_n.jpg VLSD https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...28711913_n.jpg https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...95633209_n.jpg [IMG]https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos- prn1/601634_2821274909122_910041928_n.jpg[/IMG] https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...03387455_n.jpg https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...59789553_n.jpg https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...60725891_n.jpg https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...53000698_n.jpg I dont have a turbo yet so was looking at things that I could try and fix while I wait to pick up a turbo on wednesday. In my search, I found that the intercooler was mounted in a half ass beat fashion. So i went to work. This is what the brakets looked like before. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...39590667_n.jpg https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...90101291_n.jpg https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...55586826_n.jpg https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...81360181_n.jpg Then I removed all that junk and started looking around to see what i had laying around to remake the brakets out of. Found these two pieces of scrap .080 aluminum plates. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...51739526_n.jpg https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...70841518_n.jpg Figured i would cut them down a bit and drill the wholes out. Then fitted them up with just basic hardware. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...25415342_n.jpg https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...22381060_n.jpg Then needed to make up a new top mount and decided to use different whole placement. So i welded up some simple flat stock into a new top mount. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...19034935_n.jpg And now it looks like this..... https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...14876086_n.jpg https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...43596170_n.jpg Fits so much better and is rock solid. Finally got the car in the garage big old win on that front. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...95672529_n.jpg I started out with replacing the broken valve cover stud. I did not have one and did not have time to source one so i decided to fab on up. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...34728179_n.jpg https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...56851892_n.jpg https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...72565665_n.jpg https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...87043189_n.jpg Ended up making a spacer and using a bolt. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...55871509_n.jpg I was able to buy a turbo from grip240sx up in boise which was pretty bad ass so big thanks to him. Got it home and it looked a lil rough so took a bit of time to clean it up and get it installed. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...95090947_n.jpg https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...65756903_n.jpg Here it is installed. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...37100038_n.jpg Then i fixed some zip tied cables that where buging me with some clamps. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...47202923_n.jpg https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...28326433_n.jpg Then... I began on my power steering adventure. Had to make a whole bunch of stuff for it since i could not source stock parts. Started with the power steering pump return fitting wich i made out of some flat stock and half inch tubing. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...16448129_n.jpg Then i fabbed up a tensioning braket out of some billet i had laying around. Then installed the whole thing. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...86435588_n.jpg https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...96341138_n.jpg Come to find out the power steering rack is tottaly destroyed.... so yea so much for driving my car for a bit till i can find a used one. If any of you have one hit me up i will come get it. Well hope you guys like my work. |

I personally think the black spraypaint ruined it.

My car looked okay as it was. Then I decided that it looked too nice to be a beater. I made it look shitty. /logic

Thank the lord i am not the only one.... |
The white that was on it was a maco job btw and it was flacking and pealing like crazy and then it got fucked when my wheel studs sheared and destroyed the body off the car. Thats when it went from NICE to MISSILE status.
The bottom line is this thing shreds and thats all i care about. |
What type of steering wheel are you running? I'm looking for a similar setup
