My Simple Rb25 Hatch Build

[slidewayz240]

After Christmas I picked up some stuff to wax and detail my car. After a year of rattle can and primer its great to have some nice shiny paint.







I spent most of the last month just driving the car and not working on it much. Last weekend I took care of a few issues that had developed. First I replaced the worn and leaky steering rack with a reman unit, then I replaced the passenger's side door weather strip to eliminate a wind whistle, and replaced the rear hatch struts. I also spent some time putting blue leds in the gauge cluster and HVAC since a lot of the bulbs had stopped working.



Last night we melted down some aluminum and made a mold for some subframe bushings.

These were some dsm wheels cut down and melted into ingots for future use. About 75lbs worth of aluminum in this bucket.


A furnace my roomate made to melt the aluminum down.

Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of us pouring the aluminum. We let everything sit over night to cool down. More pictures in the next update.

By far one of the cleanest builds currently going on here in zilvia. Can't wait to see what's next
