those wheels are schweet!!

VenomKillz · 06-23-2016, 04:30 AM

Love the fact you're going to use 326 Power coilovers. +1

supersayianjim · 06-23-2016, 05:17 AM

nice op. I had a roof issue(my hood smacked my roof) good to know all you have to do is replace the skin.

scottie · 06-23-2016, 09:26 AM

Them wheels!! I can already picture the stance. Keep the updates coming.

jsu1012 · 06-23-2016, 09:37 AM

Oh man this is going to be good! T7r 2 piece was a great choice.

Street_raiders · 06-30-2016, 12:04 PM

Are you staying 2 tone? Trying to picture how this will look with the T7rs, very nice wheels

Charlie_91 · 08-28-2016, 04:54 AM

Hey guys,

Long time no update. Ive been busy doing a lot of little stuff to it. Continued on the wiring. Front and rear looms all done just concentrating on the engine loom atm but shouldnt be too far off. Unfortunately no pics but it looks pretty with the sleeving :')

Also decided to run the loom through behind the motor so i shave the last hole on the firewall. Its not fantastic but its pretty good so should be good once painted.

Bought some new engine mounts mainly because i needed to sit the motor in to work out exhaust manifold.

On the topic of exhaust manifold, this is what Terry and I came up with. Its like a forward low mount type thing. Because my ps pump is in the boot we decided to do something different. Came up really cool and looks pretty badass in the bay so happy with that. Just need to do the gate hole etc and its done

Also finalising the suspension. Subframes and stuff are off getting powder coated atm. My heatmaker steering setup came in as well. Then just decided to clean up my LCA's and Rear knuckles as these will be staying stock for now.

Finally the ecu and patch loom. Nothing fancy or new but should do the trick.

Other then that, the roof has been welded back on so will start to finalise everything and start paint prep so i can get it paint and rolling. Exciting times.

Charlie_91 · 09-29-2016, 04:03 AM

Update:

So finally got all the pieces to put my suspension together.
Front Setup consists of:
- 326 coilovers
- heatmaker knuckle/lca combo
- Gktech v3 castor arms
- Relocated steering rack
- PBM steering rack bushes
- Solid steering shaft spacer

Rear:
- 326 Coilovers
- Gktech v3 camber, toe and traction arms
- Solid subrame bushes
- Reinforced Subframe

Heres some pics

Also test fitted the motor and manfiold on. Excited for this !

tricky_ab · 09-30-2016, 04:34 AM

This car is going to be too cool!!! Love the custom manifold by the way.

lol I haven't quit mid build. I've sold cars once they were finished and I wanted to do something different but that's about it...

tb13 · 10-01-2016, 11:02 AM

Damn, this thing is coming along nicely. Will be following this build for sure!

tuzzio · 10-01-2016, 11:15 AM

That manifold is awesome.

Charlie_91 · 11-23-2016, 03:30 AM

Thought id update because ive been doing a lot of shit haha. So to start off with. made some brackets, kept going with wiring and looped heater lines.

Next up I installed cams with the help of a friend and got the cooler pipes/header tank setup fabbed up.

Stripped it down to a complete bare shell and painted the insides Audi Nardo Grey.

Kit Came in

Overs came in. Fluked the fitment on this. Was kinda worried they wouldnt fit the wheels but it just made it.

Had to mock it up together !

Time to reassemble and get it running

octanejockey · 11-23-2016, 04:16 AM

That low mount turbo looks sweet! Have you figured out where you're going to mount the scavenge pump yet?

Doesn't look like it but the oil drain flows down still so no need for scavenge pump

offthewall · 11-23-2016, 01:27 PM

Yeah man! I like it.

p.s:
I want to steal your wheels.

tricky_ab · 11-25-2016, 08:41 PM

Car Modify Wonder! Man, this is one of my current favorite builds!

Standard · 11-25-2016, 09:02 PM

Hell yeah! Nice progress!

Kalem_s13 · 11-25-2016, 09:06 PM

Looking good man, what size are these over fenders? Keen to seeing some more quality work!

Right on, even better! You've got a great looking build so far, I'm so jealous of your shaved / tubbed bay... It's a long way off on my to-do list, lol.

joshchewuhh · 11-26-2016, 12:15 AM

you're my hero!

Ronald_Mcdonald · 11-29-2016, 12:12 PM

Damn, that's so good.

Habibi240 · 11-29-2016, 03:11 PM

Looking amazing . Subd

1988montecarloss · 11-29-2016, 06:46 PM

gonna take a lot to top the last s13 but i think this has it covered for sure, are those origin type 3 rear overfenders?

Malik · 11-29-2016, 10:34 PM

im excited for this

*TheRealSy90* · 11-30-2016, 08:42 AM

I cant get over the fact that you weren't happy with the old green/blue s13, cause that car has been my top 3 silvias next to TJ's old black silvia, and Streeter's white silvia.

However this new car is really coming together and looks amazing. Any chance I could purchase one of those heater loop line setups? I don't like the one I made very much.

gbaby2089 · 12-01-2016, 11:35 AM

This is way good thus far.
