i picked up some oem rear z rotors thanks tho tonio. well i was dialing in my front suspension and at full lock my knuckles dont touch the bump stops so im going to mod my extra set of knuckles to make them work until i can afford the pbm front knuckles.

also waiting on these to come in from pbm so i can drive my car already.

well i was looking over my car and made a list of things i still need to do before i get the rear knuckles and get my car on the road.

mount intercooler correctly
mount the oil filter
mount my battery box
fix my vacuum leak from the fuel rail
hook up my new HUD cluster
wire up my defi water temp gauge
mount the water temp gauge and my safc
pick up my sparco seat
buy seat rails or get custom mounts made for seat
fix and mount my fan switch
get my exhaust fixed and mounted up
fix my hydro mounting
get rear fenders welded then overs mounted
get an alignment
paint my car all one color so i dont get messed with on the streets
Clean my interior and trunk.

im trying to have most if not all of this done by the time the rear knuckles come in so i can just put the car on the ground and drive it

test fitted my buddy's version select front bumper on my car (same one i have minus group a vent)





things are coming along now. set the safc up to where its supposed to be for sr, found a stock drivers seat to run temporarily, found out why the water temp gauge isnt working, cleaned up the interior of my car a little bit. but the only bad thing is i have no room in my garage right now so i cant really work on the car too much right now

I want to see more, and I'd like to know more about using an engine hoist on that sloped-ass driveway!

Mine is similar, and I've yet to try to snatch a motor out.

you just have to be ready to catch the hoist just in case but the motor weight keeps the front on the ground so it doesnt really want to slide down. i weigh 120lbs if i can do it any one can lol

^ The weight should keep it from rolling, however some chocks on the wheels may be wise for safety. Looking good OP.

so i got these after waiting since september only problem is that one hole on each knuckles is off by a few mm so the a bolt wont go in straight on the front caliper. but i fixed that by drilling it out a little


got them installed to almost complete my rear suspension


i left my coilovers at max low and decided that this is the prefect height for the rear of my car


my goal is to be scraping oem style side skirts under compression. minervas should be here in a week then im going to adjust the front height so i wont rub. i also need to cut my fenders higher so i can be as low in the rear as i want to be.

^lol cars no where near done yet but thanks for doubting me


here is how the car sits currently



have to lift the front a little so it doesnt rub with the stupid 225/45's on the front. going to fd long beach on friday and saturday will also be piecing together my wing startign at long beach.

the weekend after fd im going to try and take my car to the shop to get the fenders cut higher so i can put my car back at the height i want and put the overs on so i can get it painted and ready for the streets finally

Coming along. But I think your right knee will tire of that defi contol unit after a bit. i had my greddy turbo timer and boost controller mounted in the same spot and I ended up moving them. But maybe it was just the way I rested my leg. Ah, who knows, maybe it won't bother you at all.
