Kevin Patten Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I'll need the stickers to hold it together... Yep! Lots of stickers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsirisGT500 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 He hasn't been helping. Doing what I can.... TOB has different fitting than stock. He said he will get a stainless braided one. Hopefully this week so I can get the engine in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 What differential gear ratio are you starting off with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsirisGT500 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 3.73's. Took me all day today to get the bushings off of the front control arms. all f'ing day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yep, they are a PITA! I'm surprised that you're not going with a SLA set up in front. Most just get the M-3075-RA arms and do delrin bushings. The Howe 19mm extended lower ball joints are a must to get the front roll center where you need it. Glad to hear that there is progress. I'm trying out some 4.10 gears this weekend to find out how much difference there is on having them verses the 3.73 gears as far as corner exit response goes. Who knows - it may be a waste but - I gotta know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsirisGT500 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 The SLA is a story for sure. I'll tell ya when I have possesion of the car. Anywho, got the tranny mounted after the custom hose for the TOB was sourced. Had to weld two different connectors because the RPS connector is different from the stock connector. Got the A arms on. He said we should do some wiring tomorrow so we can put the motor in. We'll see. He helped half the day today. Also the starter is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsirisGT500 Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Yuuuuppp. Got the headers on today. Steering rack. Had to take the k member off a few times for fitment issues. Oil pan was on the steering rack. Had to use one of the stack of 3 spacers the steeda motor mounts comes with. Made it really hard to do the headers. So off agian, lol. So tomorrow we drop car on it and get it on wheels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsirisGT500 Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Fuel cell is in. Foam all around it. Welded some nuts to the straps. Offset to passenger side for balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsirisGT500 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Not much progress. Bolted down the go pedal, looks funny all black. Steering shaft is bolted to the rack but not all the way to the cab because he wants to wire before I put in the master cylinder etc... Got the bearing in, painted it because it was rusty. He keeps saying he wants to get on the wiring but still hasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsirisGT500 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Got the PDM mounted. In front of the shifter so I can see the LED's. OBDII passenger side of the trans tunnel. Got the wires sort of layed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsirisGT500 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 God I hope so. Went back up tonight. He's still figuring out wiring. Now he wants to move the abs module to the passenger side for a headlight air intake. So I got the lens cover off of the headlight bucket. That was about as hard as the damn front LCA bushings.

Kevin Patten Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I just dumped the headlight assemblies and put in a pair of carbon fiber cover plates. That made room for an air inlet box to be made in behind the plate and pull fresh air in from below and direct it to the CAI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsirisGT500 Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Sounds much easier. He found a spot for the ABS module. on passenger side but not what I expected lol. Mounted the breather catch can. I picked the hardest place ever it seems to mount it. Fuel presser is mounted too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Looks like you still need to hook up/run the fuel lines. Are you running a separate breather tank for the transmission and are you able to set up a separate clutch fluid reservoir ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCD Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I think this build will be worth your wait!! Hope things start to go faster for you now that it is going back together!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsirisGT500 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Trans will have it's own cooler pump yes. Clutch will be stock set up. Fuel lines and brake hard lines need to be ran. He will do them all one off's. Diff and trans coolers need to be done. Fuel pump needs a mounting bracket fabbed up. Oil cooler will need a bracket fabbed and probably steering cooler mounted to that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
