Feels nice seeing the tranny done its all put back together i just need to get the fingers aligned correctly to put the rear case on.





Fabbed this aem ecu stay out of stainless put jrr on it for john reed racing ill make these for anyone that wants em custom logos even lmk

Full portable tig/stick setup can run 110 or 220v

Tw1st3d

This made me smile It's put together rear case isnt sealed yet becuase the next step is to finally set the motor in the car and get measurements for shifter extension and then finish that and put it back in.


didn't like the bead blasted look of the ecu stay.
brushed it

Guess it's time for some progress lol


Moved the car to my friends hoist to finish everything up.
The new angle kit from abercrombie motorsports should be getting 66*

Staring off into space -_-


The engine set is pushed back as far as possible with my mounts and the excessive tranny mount.


Also I picked up the measurements to fab the drive shaft and my shifter relocation
So after these are done its going for the final time.

In the process of doing a bunch of wiring, really enjoying this part of the build doing all the little odds and ends just trying to move along taking my time to not make any mistakes and get things exactly like I want.

Only pic I could get as my hands were tied, more tomorrow.



Finished up the shifter housing extension.


Makes me smile every time

What filler rod and size did you use to tig those baseplates for the tube front to the oem sheet metal on the strut tower?

Tw1st3d

Just an ER70 series 3/32"

Great build! Lots of cool stuff. I'm considering JZ so it was helpful to read through.

I "think" I'm actually gonna do something today! Finally got around to finishing up the tubes for the wastegate on the manifold shortened the water neck machined a drive shaft etc etc

I guess this is what they mean by getting burnt out, hundreds of hours into a project you just get tired... Fear not though I promise to finish it.

pics to come

excellent work. did you know when you started this it would take you so far and so long?? i have a s13 coupe(cause they are better than hatches). with a rb25det.

i also have a 1jz in my sc400. i spy you are also rocking an sc. how much do you think you would charge fabbing up some front and rear upper sway bars?? i was going to get a trd one for the front and another brand for the rear, but seeing how you are a welding wizzard.....

Didn't really have a clue were it would go or how long I set a rough goal to finish it by but, for the most part I'm flying by the seat of my pants trying to build something out of a dream.

Lol funny you mention that I'm in a big toss up now to get rid of it for a truck or to keep it. I would really like a tow rig! For right now I can't really stray to far from 240 stuff as it's the only thing I have the time to work on plus it would really it would really help if I could get my own shop to do this stuff on the side.

or if someone is willing to hire me to work in a dream shop. *cough cough* Doc Race *cough* but idk if I got what it takes to hang with some of the best yet.

We'll I got caught up in some other things me and my girlfriend have been looking hard for a new place, we were really getting tired of the apartment and driving clear 40 miles round trip to work on the car just wasn't cutting it. So after scouring Craigslist and other sites with no luck, I was at the grocery store and bought a newspaper opened up the classified and bam three houses checked them all out and settled on one in particular with a nice shop on the property. It's going to take a little work, but we can't be more excited to finally have our own garage with enough space to enjoy what we do.

More to come.

Congrats on new place. You going to come to parc soon?

Dolph_KYAS13

Congrats on the house. I was in the same situation with my car at my parents but it was 350kms away. Its great being able to outside and work on the car rather than driving forever.

Where do you exactly mount these in the car? I had my gforce ecu on the floor board near the firewall but didnt like it there because of the heat being generated from my exhaust. So I zip-tied it neatly under the glove box.

I don't plan on going to any events until my car is done. It's really that depressing

I'm so excited to just walk a few feet to my own shop and enjoy my own cluster fuck rather than my friends and mine at the same time

Actually I can make these to mount in the stock location with ease but I built this one to be mounted to a stainless panel that I'm mounting the fuse boxes to so that the electrical will all be in an easy to access area were the glove box would be. Should turn out nice.

awesome thread! when you have time please make a TIG how to thread. I need a new hobby. (o⌒．⌒o)

Tw1st3d

I feel like this is the millionth picture of the car sitting like this with no real progress. At least at this point the car has finally made it home, and with it only a few steps from the back door I can begin to make some progress on it, as we finish settling into the new house. Also Gwen's coupe lurking in the background, I Think I will really enjoy helping her out with this as it will be a steady but slow project and so far it's been nice to take my mind off things from the track car and build something as a cruiser, she has a lot of fun ideas I can't wait to help her make things happen.


At this point I'm really regretting selling some of the tools I've acquired over the years. Anyways Wiring takes top priority can't wait to get started tomorrow

Ran out of wire only 4 left to extend and I can finish everything up as far as wiring.

I thought up a way to cleanly mount my oil cooler. Mocked up my base I think I got a good idea in store for this that will be pretty cool. I have to decide if I want to weld the plate in or make it removable for easy access to the cooler.

What I came up with. Should function as an air dam and hold my oil cooler as well.

Things are getting pretty intense at work so I get 30 mins out of the day to work on my own stuff "my lunch". So I didn't get a chance to to weld on the tabs for holding the cooler but possibly got a lead on a tig welder I could pickup for home, we'll see.




I'll try to mock up some eyeballs for the car tonight
