Since I had the Taka lines already, I started to see how they would fit, so fittings are in, just got to mount the exhaust manifold and turbo to get the clocking or the lines right. I've also have to order up some more fittings for the valve cover and power steering pump, as going with full AN lines for the power steering seems like the best idea ATM. The catch can will have AN lines as well, but I haven't really thought about the lines/fittings for now.
As far as other issues go, I am hopefully going to get Bride FG rails sometime next week, so getting a seat is going to be next priority. Other than that I will go back and focus on the wiring again before it gets too cold to work in the garage again.

Big day today, along with sending out some of my old and unneeded parts to various places of the country, I received my some cool stickers.


Yes, they came in the same box as the Hyper Single ;D












The old Exedy is for sale, with plenty of life left, as is the SR flywheel.

There goes not focusing on motor!!! LOL. Today I came across a killer deal on a brand new HyperSingle - couldn't pass it up. Paypal'd already and hoping to see it sometime next week. Hopefully it will go smoother than the other transactions that I've been going through lately.

After months of standing on jack stands, the car is finally standing on four wheels. With all of the suspension components installed, a lowered stance and Starion wheels on rear, it looks good. There are few things that are still missing (sway bars) and few things that need to be re-done (brake lines), but overall it is starting to come together.
Most likely I will need to focus on seats and roll cage next, and leave the motor for later. Its not a crucial element at the moment and there is still a lot of money that will go towards finishing that after the chassis is finished.

MBV kit finally came in. Took it more than I'd like, but thats seems to be common theme lately with everything. Started looking around for another ATS clutch but nothing promising at the moment. Might end up with Hyper single or a Blitz active clutch.

Looks like I'm not getting the ATS like I thought. Andy wasn't fast enough and it got sold. Damn the CA bastards!!!! Looks like I'm going to have to start looking for something else to pop up.

BC springs arrived today, I picked up the coilovers along with my Taka lines. Andy is going to CA and while there getting my ATS clutch. Shit is starting to arrive, but the MBV kit is still MIA :( Hopefully by Monday - I hope.

I am also looking into steering rack and some other useless crap like a Z32 or Z33 tranny for the future. Shit is crazy $$, but better than keeping on breaking shitty SR trans over and over again.
