Alright, so I left off at casting the rear subframe bushings. The casts came out awesome. they looked like old russian hand grenades.
All machined down and ready to insall
While my roommate was doing the machine wok, I started on a fiberglass bumper vent for a power steering cooler. I used an old bumper I had to build off of.
It has been cold for the last week so the bodywork process got put on hold. This should be done by the end of this week.
I got a good deal on a set of DorkiDori carbon wrapped type-x rear valances. Apparently these are a 1of1 piece that one of his friends made. Kind of a shame to paint them, but the carbon just doesnt look right on my car. They will be installed once they are painted.
I picked up a sr swapped hatch with no title to part out. Gave one of my friends the sr and kept a few things I wanted for myself. The rest will be listed in the classifieds shortly.
Some good friends and a few beers got it stripped in impressive time.
I spent this last weekend removing all of my mismatched painted black interior with an all oem black interior, and fitting the d2 coilovers onto my car. I cant believe the ride quality difference over my tired teins.
I fit the rear with some 255/40/18s, and the front is now running 225/35/18s. I love the feel of the wider tire on the rear, and the new front size lets me turn full lock and not hit the fender even at the now lower ride height. The 255's did need some shaving to fit. Excuse how nasty the wheels are, they had been sitting in my garage for a few months.
New ride height.
After a productive weekend, I went and grabbed some food with a few of my friends.
The orange 240 is a just over 400hp sr, and the 260z has a rb25 swap in it that we just wrapped up.
A quick shot before I went into work this morning.
I am so in love with this car. I cant wait to finish up a few of the things I am midway through so I can have it be "finished" for a bit and just enjoy driving it.
