jesus christ

only a filipino could/would stash so many parts in such a small area



or mexican. or black. no, wait... ive seen some white people that do that too. DAMN, whats wrong you with 240 owners. no, wait... ae86 guys are worse....

fuckit, i dont even know what to say anymore. CLEANUP YOUR GARAGE!!!

bataangpinoy

hehe yea it was a giant mess, but when i came home from college i got it all sorted out and clean. imagine it now with no motor, and none of the wiring harnesses/body panels on the left, against the wall.




i'll take a more recent pic the next time i go home, but its empty of parts in there.

bataangpinoy

dude. you should have seen it before i cleaned it up. No amount of work could have saved that death hatch!

[QuoteBenny666] Are those the circuit sports mounts? And what'd you think of the quality on the drop hubs? I'm looking at ordering both of those items soon.[/Quote]

Drop offers lifetime warranty and accident protection. NO brainer for me, i read that Ichiba was hit and miss with their wheel bearings.

[QuoteS13Coupe92] i loveee that that steering wheel! i wonder how itll look with my brown interior. good progess man! [/quote]

Thanks man, not sure you guys are aware but I was the one who came up with the color scheme (inspired by the blog run by Tom and I). When Scott over at GR made me one and put it in their catalog I was stoked! The quality is outstanding and I want to order another one soon for Tom's car.

Benny666

Awesome. I can get a good deal on the hubs. I was really wondering about the CS mounts though. They seem like a good deal but I haven't seen any reviews on them so I was wondering what you thought.

bataangpinoy

They're solid motor mounts, and i havent tried them either. The quality seems good.. i hope they work out alright for me lol

Benny666

Let me know man! I'm curious about them. Nice build btw. Hoping my coupe comes together as well as yours has!

HPKMotorsports3

Sweet build so far bro... what color do you plan to paint your lambo?

i love filipino people, i think they are awesome. they are super crafty when it comes to building shit. only problem with filipinos, and this goes for a lot of ethnicities is that they can be cheap. all good, im just as cheap.

i also like how filipinos fuckup english, its funny as all hell. one of my customers would tell me (in a strong accent) "hey mike men, kik bak dud... give me a gud price on 3piptyzee headlites dud"

filipino power!!! fliptown mafia!!!! jefrox satana..... what hte fuck am i even talking about.

usdm180sx

got the engine in the car.



Cranked without spark plugs, fuel pump or CAS plugged in to prime oil pressure, had nothin. Turbo feed was dry and nothing was coming out of the cam oiler tubes. So it sat for a little while.




Took the motor set out again, took off the old pump n shit. Found that the pump outlet was dry too, and looked at my front sump and pickup tube. No cracks on the tube, o-ring was questionable. Replaced tube o-ring and o-ring for pump outlet.

I also hammered the lower pan to bow down and away from the pickup, it wasn't totally flat before. From what i understand, the pickup tube sits quite low in the pan, and I'm hoping that was the cause of my lack of oil. I put a new pump on there too just to be safe, also reapplied assembly lube to the main and rod bearings.



I would have taken more pics, polished the intake runners and water necks for the rad hoses, cleaned the alternator and painted the pulleys with a fresh coat of black but i ran out of time.

I only had about 8 hours to take it out of the car, take the clutch/FW/trans off, take it apart, re-assemble. Taking off all the old RTV was really time consuming, spent about two hours doing that.

CleanAndLegit

i'd replace that stock oil pan if your gonna be getting sideways!

They're the shit, they bought me a tool box for my b-day last year because they felt bad that i ran out of room in my bay after i re-organized the garage and dining room for them.

It's a funny thing tho. When people say "dude you're rich" my reply is that my Dad has the money, and my broke ass is lucky they haven't made me move out.

I do as much as i can to help them out when I'm home from college, like repainting the lights around the house, i take care of the cars, help my kid sister with her HW, run the groceries, etc.


I went back to the philippines this past summer and we toughed it out like an average family over there. It was the best time of my life, and it made me realize how fortunate we are here in the states. it makes want to do good things with my life and pushes me to work hard in school/work so i can support my folks and family.

singlecamslam

Well at least you didnt say "oh thats my house." Kids these days, i tell ya.
keep up the good work.

Tell me about it man, I cannot stand the kids I go to school with. Totally over privileged and unappreciative. Thanks for the kind words, I wish i had more of an update but school eats nearly all of my spare time.

Banana_Cute

TRUTH.

Nowadays, young even the mid 20's flaunt their car like they make bank, but they still live with their parents, not paying a damn thing.

Shit, when i was staying at my parents, I paid $600 a month, And i still have to do chores...All that got me was privacy and leave and come home as I pleased....as long the the chores are done. LOL

One thing though, we never covered furniture at my dad's pad, NEVER...The dining table, just a clear plastic over it. But not a couches or anything. Mom's really into that chinese cultural stuff.

lol well shit we dont cover things here either! My aunts place is lined from head to toe with plastic. Never understood it.

bataangpinoy

towed it down to work.




Ordered some shit for my car. Parts shop max EVDM, CS Oil filter relocation kit, ball joints, s14/15 sr pickup tube and new gasket. Also got a pair of 17x9 dr-31's. One was bent, called up Discount tire, shipped out the replacement as soon as i dropped the bent wheel off at UPS.







Fitted a bash bar from work and put wheels/tires on it, set it on the ground for a while. Final exams had me at my wit's end, took 2 each day for the first two days and my last on the third day. Came out with a 3.2 for the semester. WOOT!







Got back at it, decided to start getting a jump on the rust.






Fitted the GT2530r, had to redo some fittings and add a .035 restrictor.
Fitted the relocation kit, and also started the mock up for the high mount intercooler setup we're gonna make. We have a ton of spare piping and a properly sized intercooler core, so why the hell not!








Ordered the other pair of dr-31's to complete the set, and now have a Greddy Type-RS knock off to use instead of the junkyard SAAB Bosch recirc. Car is also going to get painted black, wheels getting coated in silver by Neutron Coatings. The radiator you see is just for mock up, will be ordering my own mishimoto at some point in the near future.

JesusFreakDrifter

awesome build

brewster240

you cut out the rust and sprayed some kind of weldable primer or something in there right?

or did you just wire wheel it and weld over?
