I haven't touched the car since the last update lol...

Mastermind is right next door to us. Depending on when you order it can take up to 4 months even but that's normal with most trading companies in the automotive industry. If you want the parts, I can get you some decent pricing.

Notice that I skyjacked the shit out of it. Bringing it to my shop tomorrow morning and had to make sure it'd make it onto the back of a flatbed.

before anything bro I love the car its awesome wheels.


Just that front end looks like a mustang to me.

But overall the car is fucking sick

Well a lot of people were giving me shit for letting this die down but this week my friend stopped by and really helped make some progress.

Earlier in the week, I moved my Mazda3 off the lift and pushed this thing there. That's the most action this thing had seen in two months.


And here we are today...

We pushed the car out to hose down the engine bay. Then the hood was removed and with about 8 2x4's, we were able to get the front end of the car onto the lift.


I wanted to make some fitment adjustments around the passenger side fender, headlight, and bumper so the headlight was removed.


My friend hooking up the S15 engine onto the hoist. Without his help and expertise, the car would probably sit for another few years.


Two hours later, it's in!





To my surprise, the front end is now sitting about half an inch lower. It's actually frame on tire so with the eventual 225/35/18's, it'll be another ~half inch lower.




The rear of the car and planned quad exhaust setup. The fuel cell will be expensive.

Ah finally. Thank goodness for that friend of yours.

It'll get done eventually, lol.

I'll post pictures of updates soon, but since the last update, I have...

-Installed Buddy Club seat rails
-Installed Bride Vios 3 seats
-Put the dashboard back in
-Installed new Z32 fuel filter
-Installed new clutch slave cylinder and bled through the system
-Installed new Valve Cover Gasket
-Installed SPL Diff mounts
-Resealed differential
-Installed Axles

Next week, I plan to install the driveshaft, differential, new wheels/tires and get it back on the ground.

Having a lift is a god send.

Someone needs to make a hardtop for the S13 vert though... using E46 hardtop body lines. It would modernize the square lines that the S13 windows have.

You can use the 240 convertible rear windows and motors. Eliminate the need for a B-Pillar just like on the Verts. Plus they are not hard to wire them in. If the glass doesn't' fit getting custom cut windows is not hard.

updates???????????

[mikey976]

what strut bar is that? very interested as it looks like it will clear my vh45 intake manifold

[DAG]

Alex so glad to see this is still going, I was cruising and cursing the net to finally get on with my odyvia build. (My first attempt 8 months ago pushed my fiancé of 7 years over the edge and she finally left me) thank god!! So with a new sexy lady that don't bitch about the cars and pile of cash I can get on with it. I will be calling you as I need wheels and love to help your build by throwing the biz to ya. Car looks great, keep posting up progress!

Sorry for 8 month late replies^^ I hate interweb.
It's going on my convertible not the ls6 hatch, I wanna 6666 the ls6 hatch some point. I see Paul (I think is his name) has made great progress on his "odyvert" he's a nice guy too. I talked to him back in fall about the odyverts.
Don't slow down on this build bro, it's prob the craziest odyvia in world we all wanna see it on road.
