[dpaigeS13]

[Royal_T]

Thanks everyone for the kind words, keeps me motivated..

Sorry HXC573, sold the seats already and can't wait to get my new STATUS Racing seats in.


Also on a side note things might be moving kind of quickly this month and next, working hard on this bad boy and finally got all my fittings so time to start plumbing this thing..

[Royal_T]

Tease update..



Got a special deliver from Status Racing.. These seats are amazing.. Pics to come later



So I have been following Blake's FC build HERE and his work is just top notch, go check it out cause you will not be disappointed. So when I saw the fan shroud he made for his FC I decided to hit him up to see if he could do the same for me. I am Glad he said yes cause now I have another unique sick item to add to the build. Thanks Blake....



Welds looking legit



Stay tune for more update on this fan shroud and he also is making me something else...

[Royal_T]

But for now here is what I have been working on.. Its a Housing for my STACk 8130 gauge.. It will mount in here with buttons mounted bellow it and then wrapped in black suede cause I am also getting my dash wrapped in suede. Then it will mount in front where the old cluster was..



Started with a sheet of Foam...



Getting it fitted...



Got it sitting nice and flush...



Got it wall wrapped up now it is ready for Wax, and some glassing.. Going to be fun..




Also have some sexy parts coming so will update once I pick up my transmission from Houston

[Royal_T]

So a little progress on the Stack housings and my Fan Shroud that Blake is making..



Started by cutting the Fiber glass fabric needed for the mold.. Then it was go time to glass..



After the glassing session I removed the foam molding and BAM!!! you have your self a nice fiber glass Stack housing.. Still have to do a ton of sanding to make it look nice, then add some bondo and sand a ton more again. But you get the idea..



Blake has been working hard on his build as well as doing my fan shroud and other goodies I have coming.. So thanks again buddy. Here is his build thread.'88 FC3S-Full competition build(Cage, Slammed, BN, V8) - StanceWorks



I am using two Spal 12" thin fans.. do to my space that is what I decided to run..



Holes cut



Love it, and can't wait to mount it up.. Most likely paint it black too...



Also got a special delivery from Falken tires for my 19 DPEs.. Thanks to Mark at Fatlace for the tires and Jojo at DPE for the wheels.. Much more to come from DPE so stay tune..

A lil update on whats going on.. I should have full update come this weekend so look out for some good beer and even more sick build pics.. Got a lot to show you guys..

[drscooper]

yes an update!! looks great!

[Royal_T]

Okay finally a good update, been kind of crazy over here with the move to the new house and ordering a lot of fittings and hoses. But here we are so lets get this party started.



Lets start this off with a good beer. Since I have put beer a side for a couple of months (I know I'm crazy right) to get my body back into shape. Going to post up some picks from my good friend Drew. he has a Instagram posting nothing but the best crafted beers so check it out.



I begin this update with a little trip to Houston to pick up my built T56 tranny. Got all the good ready for the trip for me and the lil man.



I acquired the transmission from my good friend Evan. He owns D3 Performance Engineering and they do so sick work.. Only the best, they were the ones that tuned the Hennessy lotus. So needless to say they will be the ones that tune my car.



I also purchased some goodies for the T56. Monster Clutch was a no brainier and they were well helpful when deciding which clutch to go with.



I went with there 11" clutch with pressure plate and light weight flywheel package.



Love the level of detail; just in making sure the customer package includes everything.



Also picked up my Saiko Michi Dual Catch can..



Love the look of this thing



Okay lets start some installs.. I picked up a new Slave Cylinder. and a backup you never know.

But first I have to switch out the lines for my Chase Bays lines..



yup undo this....



removed



new bleeder line about to get installed



I think thats about right



Tighten that **** up with some 15mm



Next is the clutch line itself



have to removed this, but what there is no screw



You have to knock out this pin



yup



Once the pin is knocked out the fitting should just pop off



view of the pin



Install the new line and insert the pin.. Hammer that sucker in..



BAM!! looks like money



Time to install



You know me only the best.. ARP bolts...



Next on the list is to remove this shifter level for a GTO one.



This can show you the difference in size between the two.



Look came to help out dad.. Thanks bud



Again this has a pin that you have to remove and reinstall



Now I could install my Sikky shifter



Also drilled and tapped for my bleeder line.. Installed and ready to rock



So removed the engine to start on the T56 install



Start out by removing the old pilot bearing.. I rented this blind puller to get the job done..





Let's do work.. Took me about 2 min to remove.



Out



View of the old vs New..



tap that sucker back in..



installed



Flywheel going on.. Again ARP bolts are needed



Clutch and pressure plate getting installed.. The green monster



I also re-taped some of the holes on the engine so the bolt holes would not striped. I used Hilico to get the job done.



Back in you go.. And yes I removed the shifter

[Royal_T]

Next I had to tackle the fuel setup. Went with Aeromotive 340 pump and also hit up CJM for their OEM Pump To -6AN and Return Fuel Correction Kit..



Took out the old fuel pump unit



Take it apart



Pop this bottom cap off that holds the fuel pump in..



Remove the sensor



Out!!



Side by side view



Place rubber cap





Install the filter bag (I think that is the name oh well)



Place back in





You have to shave done some of the cap to make it fit.



Drill this sucker, if not you will have a rough idle..



Pop back in



Time to install the return line.. Drill whole



install fitting



Another view from underneath



install this guy and make sure all the seals are in place



Install line to it



Run the line to the top



Next install the OEM Pump To -6AN..



Complete!! Now just place back in the car



So painted my Coolant tank



And reinstalled.. I think it looks 10times better



Also while the engine was out I installed my new fittings for my power steering rack



Also started to install my Fuel Pump Regulator

[Royal_T]

Installed



Also installed my bulkhead for my oil line to my Accusump



View of all of them installed



Also started getting my fittings and lines in.. This is what the color scheme is going to look like.. Keep it classy



I also picked up a new steering wheel.. Only gloves are going to touch this thing



Time to install the catch can since the motor is back in..



Bracket installed



nice and clean..





This is how I will route the catch can

I picked up these sick locking bolts for my headers so they will not leak on me.



Now here is a pic of them installed BUT... this one I took a pick of had to be fixed,, as you can see it would not be doing any thing if it was not at the 11 position. But I liked this pick so posting it.....lol



While I was waiting on hoses and fittings. George sent me the kit we have been working on for the dual caliper setup. This thing is top notch..



Bracket bolts to your hub and actually pushes your wheel out another 4mm. So def have to take note of that when getting my 18s for drifting.



Everything is included





So these are going to go into production soon but George sent out a small batch to some people for testing. Once that is all said and done he will start selling them like he does the S13/S14 brackets on zilvia



So for now I will only be using the OEM iron calipers.. Still bouncing around which calipers I want to run.



Hub removed



Sorry to say but you will loose the OEM e-brake with this setup. But he is working on another kit to keep it. But for me BecauseRaceCar...lol



install bracket



BAM installed and ready to rock..



So while I was still waiting for some parts.. Lets mount some tires
Wheel specs are 19x11 0 19x13-20.. Now these are not my drifting wheels just marketing wheels.. So might be selling them after photo shoot.



Feel sorry for him..lol



11s were easy



Cheetah time



POW!!! mounting 275/35 on the 13s

[Royal_T]

11 stretched on 245/35



13s looking damn good



Perfect stretch



Back home and looking good



test fit. Over fenders are replacing the OEM ones so it will sit nicely..



Another view





Got my Fan shroud from Blake (the one with the sick FC build) thanks buddy..



Painted it crinkle black and mounted my fans



Mounted up



Looking good..




Picked up some tools for the AN fest we are about to get in to..



Also picked up this to make install easier



Got hoses?



fittings laid out and all labeled so I know what goes where.. Lets do this



Install begins..



Good thing I have these



Looking good.. Now lets run fuel lines



I ran them were the old fuel lines went. But thinking about putting a plate over them so nothing hits them.. Thought?



Fuel setup complete



Bottom Radiator hose



My front coolant lines



They Tee off right here and head to the coolant tank



The driver rear coolant line



Passenger coolant line and some of the fuel lines



Oh yeah all hooked up



My Dual Catch can lines ran



Found these sick fittings that match my AN ones perfectly



Another pic of the lines ran to the expansion tank



Line ran from the Radiator to the Coolant tank



Big Ass Radiator lines



Mounted my oil filter in the back near the brakes.. Clean and out of the way



A full pic off everything ran.. Looking good I must say



All of it is coming together



I also mounted up my Status Racing seat to check the fit.. Looks good



This view is so sick.. Next is to install my Carbon Fiber door panels and floor boards... Should look sick when done



God I can't wait to rip on you.. oh yes



I also got some goods for out side the car..



Love this hood. went with the 07 cause I love that hump. I will color match this hood and leave the vents CF..



I also have this Coming in the mail TS diffuser and some new side skirts..

So that is it for now.. I should be getting some stuff in the mail and the next phase is exhaust so should be heading out that way in a couple of weeks..

Also I will post amount later.. Thanks guys
