thanks, and the exhaust is a cheap $125 exhaust off ebay, it fits pretty great and looks good. I got it for free from a buddy that ordered a couple extra.

sidenote: My old exhaust fit like shit and kept hitting the subframe so i had to upgrade either way.

Full Wheel update:

Started with brand new wheels (thanks to 88 rotors):


Bought this stuff:


Briefly scuffed up each wheel:


Cleaned them and masked up the inside of the barrels:


Finished product, they look perfect, no missed areas or runs


Pic of all of them:


Also a message to all of the xxr wheel haters, i will get better wheels when i get overfenders, theres no use in my buying expensive 18x9-10 wheels now when in the future ill be needing wider wheels.

should have painted the inner barrel white. It makes a difference with those wheels.

i like it with just the faces painted, and itll look cleaner because the brake dust will blend in with the black.

i guess just do lighter coats but more coats overall, so theres less chance for runs but you still get full coverage.

Sorry for the delay, ive been super busy so i havent been able to really work on the car much, not to mention make an update for my build thread.

Anyways this is an accumulation of what ive done to the car over the past 2-3 weeks.

I got the FLCAs in around the 18th of april:



I also got my REAL Zeta 3 the same day. Straight from Bride Japan, well it made a stop at evasive motorsports but still...



Installed the PBM Drop knuckle onto the coils:



Installed the flca/tension rod:



Overview of the car (from a couple weeks ago)



Installed Regreased Hubs:



Z32 Front Brakes installed, theyre not too pretty but they do the job



I got the "Racks On Racks On Racks":



Installed the S14 Tein Inner:



New Beck and Arnley Rack Boots:



Installed SPL Outers:



Got the Front Wheels on, i already had the rears on. So Technically i could drop the car and roll it around, if i really wanted too.




This Weekend im planning on:
Mount the Oil cooler and route the oil cooler lines
Install the ps lines and cooler
Devising an intake Setup that will fit while running big tubs and a hmic
Plumb the Coolant Overflow tank
Install the Full Front end for the final time.
Other minor things.
And Maybe More...

I Hope to get this car done at least a week before the no star bash (may 26-27), so i can practice with the new setup and try to dial it in.

Stay Tuned>>>

Update Time:

Chase Bays powersteering kit w/ cooler installed:







Cut out a hole to plumb lines and mounted up the oil cooler:



Pic of the oil and ps coolers:



I got tired of the copper on the heat shield so i sand blasted it and painted it with "flame proo" silver paint and flame proof clear, hopefully it holds up:




Installed the full front end for the final time:




please note that the air filter is popping out of the engine bay because i havent figured out a way to fit it with out cutting any metal, i need to buy some piping/couples and figure out a nice setup still, or not run a hood :P

I filled the car with its fluids:




Solid Shifter Bushing:




I still have to fix a couple leaks and bleed all the air out of the brakes, clutch, ps, coolant, etc.
But It turns on perfectly, i hadnt plugged in the power connector to the interior driver side fusebox so i wasted a couple days trying to figure out the silly mistake, but once i connected it, it started up perfectly fine.

The video of it starting is on my facebook wall if anyone is interested, also keep in mind the waste gate wasnt getting a vacuum source so it was stumbling alittle.
http://www.facebook.com/rolando.alfaro3

i turned it off quickly because i dont know the oil level since my oil pan isnt showing the correct level and i dont know if i have the proper oil pressure, so once i install my greddy gauges and fix the leaks ill do a proper video.

I still have to:
-Install Greddy Gauges
-Fix Leaks
-Start Engine and Bleed Fluids
-Finalize Harness Locations
-Install Dash/Console
-Install Rocker Arm Stoppers
-Install Kognition Delete Panel
-Install Takata Harnesses
-Drill Holes for Powerbrace
-Install Sway Bars w/ New Bushings
-Design an Intake Setup
-Install Cage Padding
-Install Bride Seat
-Install Hood
-Get an Alignment
-More Little Stuff i cant remember

Also i did some stuff to the z, a buddy bought my old reps so i used that cash and some i had saved up and got a pair of these:




I got a pair so i can run one in the z drivers side and the other for my s14 passenger side.

Anyways as always, Stay Tuned

i know it's not a clean look, but that green filter would look intimidating poking out of a cutout in the hood..
