Not much progress because i haven't really gotten any parts yet. Mostly i've been cleaning things up and pulling more things off.
I finished looming up the harness then put some heat wrap on it. It looks ricey but you probably won't see much of it anyways.
Started polishing the upper intake mani, but then gave up on it and just ordered a new, already polished one, as well as a polished t/b and alternator. My job wasn't THAT bad but it wasn't the look i was hoping for.
I'm wrapping my uim with gold reflective tape right now. It's boring work but I'm not just gonna give up like I did on polishing. I've been doing this when its too cold out, cause its a job a can do inside since the manifold is nice and clean.
If the weather agrees, I'm outside now working on tucking my body harness and fuse boxes. The fuse boxes and relays are getting tucked behind the oil coolers so I might have to delete, or at the very least relocate my wiper washer fluid tank. Doesn't really bother me though.
I've also made arrangements to have my engine built at Banzai racing, as well as ordered a few other things from them. Block off plate kit, OMP delete, oil pan brace kit, SS clutch line, AEM tru-boost and uego wideband, 3-bar MAP sensor with harness and bracket, tanabe front and rear strut bars, Exedy twin plate clutch kit with flywheel and counter weight, and polyurethane motor mounts. For porting I just explained what my setup would be like, the cars purpose, and my power goals and they said an agressive streetport would probably be the way to go.
The engine was supposed to get picked up yesterday but instead of coming during the scheduled 3-6 o'clock window, they thought it was a good idea to show up at 1 o'clock when no one was home. So I've rescheduled for today.
I know this is useless without pics but here's some random pics of work being done. I expect this to pick up one I get some boxes in the mail.
I really like this picture:
My given up on polishing job: If anyone wants it, I can definitely sell it. Just note that the double throttle is deleted but hasn't been sealed up yet.
oh and here's a before and after of some cleaning:
I'm trying to keep things moving. I'm starting to get some small things in the mail.. just some small things hardly worth mentionning lol.
