ill.

So I just realised I haven't actually done a proper build thread on here.

I used to drive this CA18DET piece of trash.



Bought some Type X/Kouki Aero.



And just as I was about to finally paint it, this got parted out.



So I parted out my green car, snapped up the new rolling shell, along with a few other parts.



Got it back in the garage, and put some bride replicas in, and put my aero on.



Dropped the subframe, painted it, put some MAX Risers in, installed my Kaaz 2-Way.



Realised I was retarded to fuck this car up with fake shit, sold my seats, and bought a Zeta II & Brix combo.



Painted things, replaced every joint, and bush everywhere!



Dismantled the front and interior again. Used my room for storage.



Bought some Kais.



While I was there got some other sweet stuff.



Bought the first set of PBM new generation arms in the country.



Started welding and shaving the bay



Finally kicked my engine build off.



And this is how it sits right now.



So while my block is away getting machined, I'm just cleaning up the last of the bay, welding up all the holes, and filling them, as well as fixing the holes in the battery tray and so on. Then I can paint it, and finally put it all back together!

sick i love it!

ill.

Thanks man.

Been going crazy cleaning everything up lately, while I wait for my Argon bottle to get filled.

Cleaned & painted front crossmember & steering rack



Removed my airbag light & cleaned my cluster.



And cleaned up my numberplate light as it was filthy and needed new bulbs.



Also picked up a SR20DE throttle body and removed the fast idle/heating bullshit off it. Then got carried away after I took this photo, and cut the whole bottom off it. Will look good installed.



Made some blanking plates for my IACV/AAC too but no pics.

I love how your house is filled with parts .
What size are the Kais?

ill.

Thanks bro's

I'm running outta space pretty quick hahaha.

Kai's for the front are 17x9 +17, will probably have to space them a bit when camber's all set.

And for the rear 18x9.5 +12.

Got plans for different wheels down the track a bit, but for now these will look good.

Putting fresh paint on bits and pieces that I pull off is like my fav. thing to do. +1 for attention to detail and making everything look refreshed.

Love what Im seeing here. Similar to what Im planning and doing to mine lol

What are you painting everything with?

Sold the CA when I parted my old car out. It now resides in a Ford MkII Escort.

Putting a CA in a genuine Type X was gunna be a pretty backward move, so despite my love for CA's I picked up an SR20DET that had run a bearing out of an S14 for a good price.

The short block's currently being machined and assembled by my engine builder friend. Basic rundown is it'll be hot tanked, bored out 0.02"/0.5mm, decked, crank polished, CP pistons installed (0.020" O/S, 9:1 CR), new rod & main bearings.

Then gunna run Tomei Poncams and Metal Headgasket up top, Nismo 550cc Injectors & Z32 AFM tuned on Apexi PFC.

Aiming to run a Tomei ARMS & steampipe manifold eventually but I'll run it in and get some practice in with the factory T28.

So will be running 220kw roughly to start with then retune with the new turbo & should be talking 240-260 safely.


Prepping everything, then epoxy black spray cans.

F**K this is gonna be just as good as it's previous form!!! Points go to NZ for building sweet cars!!

If money were no issue just go a Tomei Genesis kit. Something like $10k? from memory, but all brand new parts and EVERYTHING has been fiddled with!

ill.

Money's definately an issue haha. That's why it's taking so damn long hahaha.

Definately makes a huge difference in being able to do it yourself, like all this welding on the bay would have cost someone who couldn't weld, or didn't have a friend, a huge amount, and to be honest if I couldn't weld I wouldn't have bothered.

Anything that I haven't been able to do, I've gone out and bought the tools to do it and got to learning how. Never sprayed before, never used body filler, never welded panel steel, but it's just been a case of learning and getting mates round to lend a hand/knowledge.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, keeps me going when the finish line seems to be getting further and further away.
