Snorlax's Build
Decided to finally make a build thread for Snorlax.
I bought the car as my first car right after high school 2010
with 98,xxx miles. Car was all stock
Here is a pic from Nissan Jam 2016
Lost most of my early stages pictures of the car on my old phone
Day when the SR first when in
[/url]
Car had gone through a lot of improvements through the years
Last day Snorlax ran a track event before SR was pulled out
Bought a diffuser from a friend and decided to put it on after many years of debating wether to do it or not.
so the build starts here when the SR came out of the car and was on the way to my friends S14.
Got an opportunity to buy my friends 98’ SE Hardtop (SR Powered,full 326 power suspension, clean interior) for a good deal so I couldn’t let it pass.
So the engine going in Snorlax is going to be the LS3 ERod version. Going this route because have been ref twice going to school and didnt want to risk a third time. All times have been in the city of Irvine. Daily drove the car for school during the time I was going there and everything was a fine for like 2 years but luck changed.
So first piece I bought was a brand new T56 Magnum
Stripped the engine bay before taking it to the shop to paint the bay..
Sitting at the shop
Started to prep the bay.
I wanted to shave as much possible
closed up the holes where there IC piping ran through
primed the engine bay and did a removable core support and my buddy fab up a dimple plated core support upper beam
keeping stock one also just in case
after sanding down the primer it was time for paint
black sealer down
then base/clear
went with a grey metallic from GM
brought Snorlax back home
I also undercoated all the chassis from underneath and removed both subframes to paint
can't find pictures of that I guess I forgot to take some of those
painted everything silver though
