damn luddy, cage tied into the rear seat support/speaker shelf.

SCCA might not be happy campers about that.

cdlong · 02-27-2008, 05:06 AM

why not, they don't specify where it has to tie in, except that it has to be contained within the passenger compartment. which that is, so that's probably the best he can do.

OfourTHREEfive · 02-27-2008, 08:57 AM

Damn. Speechless.

HunsakerS14 · 02-27-2008, 09:03 AM

nice build, its nice seein someone doing most the work themselves, its really motivating, keep up the good work i'm excited to see this thing done.

btw love the colors you got goin on!

tougeracer · 02-27-2008, 09:11 AM

that is great man, looks awesome, your work is fantastic. I hope my build comes out 1/2 that good.

xplicit240 · 02-27-2008, 06:26 PM

Gavster... People like you make me hate myself because i cant weld like that. But awesome work!. wheres the next update. its like watching the real world but less dramaaaaaaaaa. but still exciting.

DataXUnknown · 02-28-2008, 09:53 PM

daaaamn what an inspirational thread.

that looks really nice how the top is black and the window all cleaned up nice. everything fits so well. excellent update.

SicBastard · 03-01-2008, 05:06 PM

Gavster, that rb25 intake manifold is begging for a little air-to-water intercooler above the valve cover, straight shot to the turbo. And I say to hell with the detractors, the black, two tone is the sex.

projectdrifter · 03-01-2008, 05:10 PM

sweet build man. love the color i keep popping in to see progress

27 Pages, 4.5 Multi-tasking hours, 2 changes or underware & 2 Large Pepsi's later... I am quite satisfied, anyone have a cigarette.?! Dude this is a fuc*king fantastic, I am so happy I stopped on in!! I will sure as hell be retuning, I have gone too far to miss the ending!

ByeByeSti · 03-02-2008, 12:27 PM

so glad gav updated this thread, im once again subscribed hahaha. if only my audi would sell so that i could finally work on my s14 :*(. keep up the good work gav, and get her finished asap!

Wabash9000 · 03-02-2008, 12:33 PM

This thread makes me hopeful because my car looks just like yours did at the begaining. it's good to dream.

Gavster · 03-05-2008, 12:33 AM

As always, thanks for keeping up everyone...its very motivational to know I have people who really care about my progress...I got a rare moment tonight and did a little fitting for fun and Ive begun getting in a lot of parts so I played around some of those too.

First off, I've got a pretty massive list of parts this week which is very exciting! Because I was able to get a lot of things squared away, I can do tons of work over spring break! The not-so-short list of parts includes: a 12x24x3 intercooler, koyo Rad (SR, prob going to sell for something else), walbro pump, Max Tension rods, oil cooler, power steering cooler, 2qt Accusump, corner lights, bumper lights, origin cf roof wing, a blitz nur spec muffler + 3" piping to make an exhaust, rear OEM sway + all links, Welded diff, OEM front bumper support bracket, etc. I think I may even be leaving some items out, but that will definitely keep me occupied for the next two weeks....What might I be up to you ask?

Well, now that Ive got all the coolers and my headlights + brackets, I can fab everything up for the front. Ill need to adjust the attitude or completely remake the upper front bar, figure out the radiator and intercooler mounts, mount the PS and oil coolers, etc. I can also build the exhaust, from the turbo back. I can install my suspension components too. I also can start figuring out the mess of wiring, etc....Basically there is no shortage of work to be done here! Ill show you some pics now, and def. will keep everyone posted on the front end work!

I got a little antsy and test fit my fenders, corners, and skirts. I also laid the rad and intercooler on there for fun! Heres the pics:

Looks tough IMO, I'm loving how its turning out!

Mandatory myspace angle...

Accusump!

Coolers....

Overview...

Hope that satisifies for a little while....I might be able to work on it again before the weekend so watch out!

Gav

whereda40at · 03-05-2008, 12:53 AM

Farzam · 03-05-2008, 03:44 AM

Yeah

If that were my garage

I wouldn't be on zilvia

I'd probably be on some hotshot Hollywood forum full of rich people saying fancy words.

silviaz · 03-05-2008, 06:00 AM

school pay well for you i guess.

Nice car

IIIXziuR · 03-05-2008, 06:05 AM

I dont want to take away from Gav's awesome thread but want to respond. I will have support on the other side of the plate with a bar going to the rear well. It will give the appearence its in the compartment but will be supported to the chassis. Kinda like Jeep's do to tie their roll bar to the frame.

Anyways, more updates please!!

kuruptR · 03-05-2008, 10:24 AM

Shits looking good!
