SLW-SVT Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I want to paint my engine bay so bad. Everything is looking great so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor294 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Few updates, probably missed some: Someone sold me one 08+ TGV delete and 1 02-07 TGV Delete, as 1 fits and 1 doesn't :| walbro 255 pump with STI pickup Undercoating everywhere. KYB AGX with Swift springs. Stainless lines have been installed along with hawk HPS pads and 2nd gen GT/Outback brakes in the front. 4 pots are on the list later, I have them, but not replacing my newish brakes lol. AOS, EBCS, and Dryer for AC placement. Can see the STI Arm down there Both master cylinders in place, had to swap out brake one for a non-abs one, as i tossed that junk system. Also got a nice single clutch line, no 2 piece nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor294 Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Meh no one reads this shit anyway lol more engine bay mockup copper nickel brake lines getting setup in new OEM clips lol I found these for $110/side (~$220 for the set of 4) on Rockauto. ACDelco, but they are actually SPC arms! Works for me, so now I can adjust rear camber oh, and the first jdm avcs engine i picked up got a nice bit of water inside of it. it rubbed us the wrong way so we returned it got another one from arizona. much better shape and cheaper even with shipping. wasted more money! debating on doing the arp studs/gaskets on the ej205 before I throw it in. thinking about it as preventative maintenance lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor294 Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 Looks like you got the last one ya jerk! Yeah lol I have been looking for months. I found one about 6 months ago but it was in really bad shape. This one looks pretty good though. Looks like you've been building a mean performance machine man, super excited to see the end results Thanks. I am too. I just don't have as much time anymore and it's killing the progress lol.

Das Ninjabot Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 That hood is slick, how bad was the shipping though?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor294 Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 That hood is slick, how bad was the shipping though?! heh ~$700. is what it is. probably could have paid less but I got it quicker than most US shipments. Got it in about a weeks time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor294 Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 every shop i talked to said the carbon fiber cannot be saved, too much sun exposure. Oh well. had it painted to match and the useless hood pins removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublechaz Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 The last tire guy I had (this was one of the reasons I fired him) told me that I was putting on my last set of tires. That was more than 10 years ago and about 150,000 miles ago. I think I'm on my 4th set since then. So yeah, I'm sure the hood is just as uselessly old as my car. I often think that there is some sort of secret society, some kind of cars illuminati, that has sworn a death oath to try to get people to get rid of perfectly good cars so they will buy new ones to keep the factories working.

Thor294 Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Unfortunately build has come to a crawl at this point. I've got some more silly JDM bits for it, but I am patiently waiting for the wiring to be done so this thing can go. I forgot about the driveshaft, as my 4EAT driveshaft is too short for the 5MT swap, so I called up Colorado Driveshaft and they sent me a nicely refreshed 5MT shaft from our generation car. Fit right in perfectly. Hopefully in a few weeks itll be ready... I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
