Mike is a good dude, i buy wholesale from him for other forums and local sales. i wouldnt be surprised if he would cut you a break for the GRM deal.

a good buddy of mine does powdercoating on the side (has a massive oven) Struck a deal tonight to do all the suspension on the car and subframe for basically the cost of the powder, my Fuel cell and a cae of beer.

So this weekend I am gonna build something to dolly the car around on with no suspension

I had these on my EG6 in Okinawa. The J's racing ones are made from thick flat steel (the ones I had) were somewhat heavy and were solid as ----.

Looking good. I wish i could do this. I found a EF hatch DX, 240k,with 4 speed manual for $500. Wish i had $2009 to spend on a crazy project.

Started the wire tuck. I filled 40 holes today with the welder, have another 20 or so to go.

That GPS I found in the car? Traded it today + $80 for a Carbon Fibre Hood (ballin)

Pulled the dash for the wire tuck

powerwashed the engine compartment

Welded the engine mounts , they have 4 tacks ea. from the factory



Went to the wreckers, found the identical car with a D15 Vtec swap and some other goodies.

B&M shifter
Crane sport compact ignition (2 step)
MSD coil
Various trim bits

Free!! the guy accidentially sold the stock hood I asked them to hold on to..so he felt bad

I will post up some pics tomorrow. Things are coming along nicely. My buddy traded a rusted POS S-10 for an automatic 90 EF sedan in good shape.. Gonna put a T25 on it , RRFPR and have some fun\
