08Spec_B Posted January 29, 2023 Author Share Posted January 29, 2023 Got some evo pics for you guys ha. Mostly full interior (from front seats forward) and the car is fully caged as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue wrench Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Just a thought about your powdercoated p/s and a/c brackets, the alternator might ground through them. I don't remember for sure though, just something to keep in mind if you see problems with the battery charging.

08Spec_B Posted January 29, 2023 Author Share Posted January 29, 2023 @blue wrenchThey still have all the clean bolt holes and the mating surfaces for flanges were left blasted so I'm not worried but thats a good thought! There's relocation kits on the market that come coated so I'm not super worried about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enlight Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I've been wondering about whether there are anti-seize compounds that are used for their electrical conductivity. I'm aware they have metallic particles in them but haven't found anything conclusive re: actual conductance. It would be useful in these bolt holes and other grounding locations. muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly full interior (from front seats forward) and the car is fully caged as well. Even in that neon fast and furious lime, still love it…can I say that? Lol. That color reminds me of Paul Walkers eclipse in the first one. Getting rid of the wing does tone it down. Still a sweet car, thanks for sharing and posting! Also that’s a nice looking square body also in the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08Spec_B Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 Had a couple hours free and was able to finish setting valve lash, get covers all sealed up, set timing, and picked up the freshly rebuilt BNR 20g from Richard Williams. Man, I love the TIC cam bolts, I didn't even think twice about torquing them down. Going to have to get some Banjo 90° ORB to 10 AN fittings for the chase bays oil cooler plate since it interferes with the inner timing cover with the supplied straight fittings. Also was able to find another set of JDM option winkers, this time in light blue so that's pretty nifty. I dont need them so they'll likely be up for sale shortly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Febreze Mee Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Which means I will be likely buying them. Motor looks to be coming together really well! MILKRUN - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseenlo Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Nice photobomb of the little one! Those TiC cam bolts are so worth it. Look into Radium's low profile banjo fittings. They're pricey but might help you with your clearances with the cover. http://www.radiumauto.com/Low-Profile-Swiveling-Banjo-Fittings-P1355.aspx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08Spec_B Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Haven't had much time to throw at the car, with the business and life in general, but did have a couple minutes to swap on the new custom forged CF wheel and k2 gear emblem. I ended up doing a Forged CF lower to match the rest of interior, perforated sides with non-perforated top section. More of an oem+ kinda feel. Also finished up the last of the 3 things needed to keep the airbag light off when aftermarket seats are installed since I'll be putting some corbeaus in within the next couple months. This occupancy sensor manual bypass allows you to manually simulate an empty or occupied seat. Based on the pics im sure you can tell which was the first one done lol. The first is never as pretty. Got enough materials to make a couple so once they're tested I'll have some to sell. Edited February 17, 2023 by 08Spec_B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Febreze Mee Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I could be interested in one of these bypasses as well! I might have to either fully commit and hook up a supply line to you, or fully un-commit and unsubscribe from this thread. There's too many goodies around here.

08Spec_B Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 Have made some good progress since the last update. Motor has officially been dropped in, had planned to start up last weekend but my shitimoto rad decided to give up the ghost while filling up with coolant so there is a Koyo with my name on it on the way. More fun parts added/aquired since the last time: Blitzen black sun visors and c pillars, Greddy/Trust master cylinder cap, jdm battery and power steering covers, Liberal Albero trunk mat, STI option front strut bar and lower subframe brace, unbranded master cylinder and clutch master braces. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08Spec_B Posted April 2, 2023 Author Share Posted April 2, 2023 Got the Koyorad installed (much higher quality than mishimoto) and first startup/first bit of break in has gone great, minus a little oil leak fiasco from my stack of sandwich plates I had on. Put about 50 miles on it but still having an issue where I can't get it to idle. Going to try and idle relearn but never had to do one in the past with disconnected batteries so not sure if that'll do it. I believe my battery is getting tired, only holds 11.6-12v while driving and cranks very slowly. Exedy twin disk feels awesome, cant wait to do a launch or two to settle in the engagement point. It is pretty noisy in between shifts or reving with clutch in but that was expected. Also, got the outback hood installed. I dig it, can't wait until its all one color! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Febreze Mee Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 I used to have one of those hoods too! The car looks great! MILKRUN - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08Spec_B Posted April 4, 2023 Author Share Posted April 4, 2023 The car is up and running finally! So far I have about 100 miles on the setup and its running great. First oil change looked good and nothing worth noting on the magnetic oil plug, so the fumoto valve went back in. Idle and charging issue was been resolved after cleaning up more of the mounting surfaces on the alt bracket. Note, the exedy twin disk are very noisy between shifts or on decel lol. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
