1986 NA build - budget rallycar/road car

[Fidelity101]

I would have had more pictures and updates but some mother fucker stole my laptop with my SD card inside of it.

but now its more throttle body porting and intake manifold gasket/port matching

I will also be making my own inserts for the 6pt.

I have a friend machining me a hub extender for my aftermarket wheel/hub combo so my knuckles don't hit the cruise/turn signals anymore

got a rear counterweight on the way and just got my OMP block of plate kit in along with my injectors coming back from cleaning and balancing. but after reading the report of them I probably didn't need to have them done but it really cant hurt and now I don't have to worry about them.

pictures soon to come, when I can find a new SD card. Everything is slowly being put together

some updates, got some shit installed some other stuff painted and cleaned, port/gasket matched the intake manifold and I am almost done with the porting and polishing of the TB, it should be up and running in the car (with a white engine bay to match the painted white exterior) within a couple weeks.

but this is where the engine is now mostly all assembled....

MY CLOSET!

now I just needs motor/trans mounts, fluids, misc hose or two and my roommate to make me an RPM switch.

I still have to put some more coats on, just some 5 dollar rattle can w/ ceramic so it may not hold heat out super well but worst case scenario it looks nice lol.

Be careful with that paint. I used the duplicolor hi-heat ceramic stuff, I don't know if it has to cure, didn't say anything on the can, but I was able to take it off with a passing brush of a choke-clean soaked rag. Needless to say I was dissapointed.

Looking forward to the pics...

Only flat black though. If you're doing a full paint job, black tends to show all your sins

If you need some S4 parts, lemme know. I've got TONS and will let most of them go for shipping plus a few $.
