Okay, so I'm back from Vegas, and leaving for Florida tomorrow morning. When I get back, I'm gonna make some progress.
Also, may be doing a top secret über important drift event, only Evan knows.
Also, I'm trying to get my motor swap done ASAP.
Probably will start after thanksgiving.

I think this about sums up my trip

Oh I also got a friggin sweet Snap-On racing jack and jackstand set for my birthday, I hope you all are ready for me to stunt so hard at events.

*NemeGuero* · 11-05-2007, 01:14 PM

lol hella hammered in the casino

Okay, so super little retarded update.
I was getting ready for buttonwillow and decided that my cracked leaking reservoir wasn't going to cut it at the track, So I replaced it with the Circuit Sports one I've been sitting on for a few months.

Its a beautiful piece, the welds look nice and everything looks good, but I was not happy with it at all. First I had to move a harness to get it to fit, then I had to bend both tabs and channel them to line up with the holes. Next, the bung for the hose that goes to the radiator I had to bend so as not to hit the tub, and was too small for the stock hose, luckily I had some small hose that would work at my shop. And finally to add insult to injury the little circuit sports badge that is on the front of it came unglued.
Anyways, Drew Bohan got some sweet pics of me on track at buttonwillow.
Here is my car on the front page of his site.

Here is me narrowly missing !ZAR!

A little 3rd gear Manji action

... With my girlfriend in the car

This one is my best, 2nd gear feint initiation into the offramp at Buttonwillow.

Overall I had sooo much fun. I spent tons of time in the dirt, and since they made us keep the windows down for safety purposes my car is full of dust. I spent a lot of time on the skid pad with Joe (drunk bastard) making my set up better. My car started making noise on tuesday and it made me a little nervous, I lifted my front wheel off the ground and couldn't find it. It kinda sounded like a rediculously loose wheelbearing. I finally figured out however that it was my fender coming loose.

J-Style · 11-29-2007, 02:29 PM

I got a car finally, so I can't wait to make it out to another event with you man!

driftxing · 11-29-2007, 03:12 PM

Sweet car. When's the motor going in?

HalveBlue · 12-04-2007, 11:57 PM

Oh noes!

Just discovered that the pictures in the first half of this thread have disappeared.

Is there a way to put them back up so I can use them as reference for my rebuild?

burnsauto · 12-05-2007, 12:17 AM

it looks alot better without the CS badge on it, imo. nice action shots

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 12-05-2007, 01:00 AM

Sorry about that, until I update it, check out the blog at http://www.recproductions.net

HalveBlue · 12-05-2007, 01:22 AM

Your blog is an acceptable substitute.

But looking at wesites other than Zilvia makes me step out of my comfort zone. It makes me cry and conjurs up repressed childhood memories.

Don't let it happen again or I'll get Chuckie Akenz and his Viet crew to beat you up.

J-Style · 12-05-2007, 03:12 AM

Haha! That was hella funny Halve Blue! +1 for you!

I got the Gram-Light's on and put air in them and they are awesome! Clutch-kicking and such are much smoother and I can keep them spinning for much longer than the Cobra-R's.

I will have them back to you very soon, but until than here is some love/rep.

Andrew Bohan · 12-05-2007, 12:20 PM

jeez joe, this thread might as well be an advertisement for ME now. hahahah

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 12-06-2007, 05:52 PM

I didn't block off Hicas, I replaced the whole subframe with a non-hicas model. and then went to the hardware store and got two plugs for the hydraulic lines on teh frame.

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 01-07-2008, 07:17 PM

Yea I suck at life.
I do have some updates.
Installed my DCC, I didn't have a sub harness like everyone else does, so I had to make one from my pinout of the system when I pulled it out of my dash harness and a wiring diagram from my FSM. I had to re-pin the mode door motor plug and now everything works except for the Air conditioning. I am pretty much lost on that. if anyone can give me help that would be awesome. I also got some Schroth 5 point harnesses installed, only had to drill one hole for the submarine belt.
Here is my whole system.

Fan subharness

Weather pac connectors into the car.

Another connector for the Ambient air temp sensor.

Here is the bracket I made for the temp control motor.

And here is what it looks like, its not foggy, picture is just wierd.

And my harness.

Edit: Oh yea, took my welded diff out, shit is annoying and I don't street jerrift anyway so I'll put it back in when I do some events.

Irukandji · 01-07-2008, 07:37 PM

woo hoo
I love your car. So many hours and hours put into small details.
