I've gone Festarded (BP+T build): pile-O-parts is almost complete!

[DON SVO]

Got a bit sidetracked. Installed some 4.10s in a '11 GT



Prosit!

I should have you replace the differential bearings in my truck! Haha.

One click dash removal??! Nice!

Seems like your car is comming along nicely, can't wait for the stories of power! You gonna take it to a drag strip or racetrack when its done or just smoke local hondas?

240 @ the wheel eats Hondas and defecates new Camaros. Stay tuned

As long as you can keep the wheel on the pavement...

I am blessed with friends that build TTT5/outlaw cars... Cages, chassis, suspension, etc. if Wolfe Racecraft rings a bell then you know where I live. I'll figure something out

Things are snowballing finally and it's coming together FAST.

WRX fully adjustable strut mounts start here:



Paint the mount using the old strut mount for a template:



... and get this.

Are those ball bearing top hats for the struts?

Coming along...



We're about to get serious now. T3 flange arrived, the old BP is going for manifold/turbo/downpipe mock-up this weekend.



I am a nerd. Bullitt shift knob.

Got a link for those? I've been trying to find some that are decently priced for mine.

Looks a lot easier and would make for swapping in the future easier too.. simply make up loom to suit wiring in firewall plug and your good to go.. easy.

Also, if you haven't opened a shop, i suggest you do so.. some fine work there guys.

Polyurethane motor mount fill/prep. Not much else to say here, this $#!t sucks to work with.


I painted a few more things and generally re-assembled the front of the motor. The itch is getting BAD.

Not sure how good you are with icing cakes, maybe use a piping bag to help fill the mounts?

maybe construct two plexiglass or perspex plates (one with a hole to fill the mount area) so they can be clamped and sealed. might make the job a bit cleaner and less annoying.

Once they harden up completely I'll hit them with a whiz wheel and paint. That stuff is SO hard to work with. It literally tore the fingers off of my black nitrile gloves so try and smear it. It's amazingly tacky and resilient.

Commin along nicely brotha, got an eta for key turn?

I've been helping Don a bit here and there. Got the connectors for his instrument panel today. Amphenol has some good quality inexpensive sealed, latching, keyed connectors. A set of connectors is about $11 each with all the parts.

These are AT series connectors. Some assembly required. Most of (all?) the wiring runs down to the bulkhead connector he's using.
