**Gilgamesh** · 07-06-2007, 02:29 AM

DAYUM man.... after 15 pages, im sad to see the end to this thread.

i would read it all over again if i didn't have to get up in 3 hours and take the 4 hour drive to the tail of the dragon and back.

**d16_turbo** · 07-06-2007, 02:42 AM

im pretty sure that this isnt the end of the thread

**Gilgamesh** · 07-06-2007, 06:09 AM

yea... i didn't mean it like that, i mean the end for now my bad.

oh when people clean the entire cassis like that they usually make a roticery out of 2 engine stands so its easy to sand blast/ scrub and paint

**Fuster_Cluck** · 07-08-2007, 07:55 PM

Thanks guys for the props. Unfortunately I don't have access to things like sand blasting equipment or a rotissaree to flip the car to work the undercarriage, so I do the best with what I got

As far as my job I work at the airport

(BTW: Anyone know who drives the red (on red GT3's) or white EK or the white EG that is parked in the Delta lot??)

So, I've been busy working and spending time with the family, so no work don lately. I did receive some more parts.....

Thanks for looking

Fuck just spent like an hour and a half reading up on this. VERY nice stuff. I have the time, I have the money...I dont have the garage (insert frowny face). Inspires me to take the front and rear end off the Z when I get some rims and tires (if I keep it) and clean them/powdercoat some of them.

**GSRteg®** · 07-09-2007, 01:48 AM

I don't mind posting here. Picked them up for $300 each with free shipping with the purchase of the rollbar.

Well, the undercarriage is already sprayed. Thanks for the offer anyhow

Thanks guys for the props. I'm hoping to have her up and running before the Nopi Nationals.

Don't expect much for updates in the near future. I've got to get the suspension finished up so I can put the rollers on and get her out to paint. Looks like she'll be going down to Cental FL for body work and paint. Oh well, got to be done. Then it will be time to install the motor and everything else......

My 36mm 4 X 100 Circuitworx hubs arrived:
OEM axles FTW

And my favorite from this little shoot:

Fine product Circuitworx is putting out. Packed very nicely in bubble wrap and speedy shipping

**Z32redondo** · 07-09-2007, 07:53 PM

Damnit...i wanted a big 100 picture long update

Yea i know the white ek with carbon fiber wing. My next door neighbor. Do you always see both of them at night.

**sleepys4** · 07-12-2007, 06:31 PM

Do you work for Delta?

**Fuster_Cluck** · 07-15-2007, 04:19 PM

Haha....

That won't happen until the car gets back from paint and we get into the motor work

Yes. Usually parked right next to each other. The red one is on red GT3's. Both are very nice looking. There is also a white EG in the lot now w/ black or c/f hood and exhaust on dark wheels

No I don't.

So, the front and rear brakes are going in for some work this week. Extended studs for the rear and new RTA bushings. The front will be getting the new hubs installed w/ new bearings. Then I will be putting the suspension back on so I can tow her down to central Florida for body work and paint. Got to drill the holes for the rollbar and seat harnesses as well. Hope to have her back here by the middle of August. That gives me a month to get the car back together

Going to be ordering some more parts this week. I'll post pics as they arrive.

Thanks again to all for the props. I promise to go all out with detail once the K swap work starts

**Whiteboy™** · 07-15-2007, 10:44 PM

**Z32redondo** · 07-16-2007, 12:35 AM

Ahhh So good i may read it again...I will let you know when i finish.

**Slow Motion** · 07-16-2007, 03:44 AM

You have put a great amount of time and detail into this project. I am not a honda fan, but I am anxiously waiting to see the outcome of your project. I hope it turns out as well as i am thinking it will.

**The BUCKY** · 07-16-2007, 09:27 AM

what is your plan for wheels. i cant remember if you had said

**santacruz77** · 07-16-2007, 07:57 PM

you sir are the shit. you kno you will never be able to sell this after all you have put into it. and if you do it will never be worth it. +1 because your work is amazing.

**Fuster_Cluck** · 07-24-2007, 08:19 PM

Wow, you guys are awesome with the feedback. Makes me want to put even more work and effort into her

So, I'm past due for some updates with the project. I'm putting the front and rear end back on so she can roll out to paint in Central Florida this weekend. My bro and his buddy are saying 3 weeks and she'll be back in my hands. That will give me approximately 3 weeks to drop the motor, wire her up, install interior, and have her tuned...... Going to be on a tight schedule but I plan to have her parked in the Brown section at the Nopi Nationals

I present Session 033:

Picked up some new rear camber bolts. I still need to get some washers to shorten her up. Probably throw one washer (approx. 1/2 degree) underneath for some camber correction.

Next to the OEM camber bolt:

In position:

Picked up some lube:

Extended studs, new bearings, and new RTA bushings installed:

Can't go wrong with OEM bushings

All bolts going back in are getting anti seize applied first:

A$$ end back in:

Wal-Mart had the 5 quarts on sale for $20, so I bought all the 5W-20 and 5W-30's :P

Session 034 tomorrow

Thanks for looking

**The BUCKY** · 07-24-2007, 08:25 PM

wow. i wish you could have had a bigger budget bro. a big brake kit would have looked sic on there. what wheels are you putting on??

**ranj** · 07-24-2007, 08:25 PM

awesome man keep up the great work! lol

i can't wait to see that motor put in man, its gonna be soo freaking awesome!!!

**SRCRX** · 07-24-2007, 08:36 PM
