B-b-b-b-b-boggers!

Got a new alarm on sat.
Installed yesterday - B&M short shifter with a skunk2 knob (Best knob I've had yet, cause of the weight)
Installed tonight - JDM side markers

OOO did it work out good?

^ yes sir!

my shifter still rattles cuz of that b & m short shifter...not too sure how I'm going to fix that yet...

probably need new bushings or something, sounds like something down there is loose ;)

notice any difference in your steering tightness with that strut tower bar?

modded a screw in to my tire, 2 in one week in same tire, and the another in different tire a month later, holy crap.

your right, I do need bushings and sleeves..but b&m doesn't make any for that shifter, and the stock ones don't fit...trust me ;) haha

as far as the strut tower bar...a little more stiff for sure, but I'm still on winter tires and just put stuff back together on my car, so I havn't cornered real hard yet..

try and find some brass aftermarket shifter bushings.. they are usually easily found on ebay.. i put them in my DSM and it stiffened up shifting quite a bit!

^ hmm...you think that'll fix the rattling my shifter makes? Cuz i'm not really too sure what is hitting what that causes the rattle at high rpm

oh... i'm not sure.. brass would cause it to give you even more feedback without the mushy stock rubber in there... maybe polyurethane is the way to go then, i'm sure energy suspension makes some for your car.

I used washers. lol

^ on what? the shift linkage?

in between the shfiter and the linakge where the bolt goes through the shafts. the gapw as too wide so my bushings were rattlnig around till I shimmed it.

really eh? hmm...I'll have to give that shot next time she's up on anthonys hoist haha

new jdm oil, jdm oil filter, and jdm fuel filter today.

Mod of the day:

Water lines for turbo
Made downpipe extension and installed it along with downpipe
Radiator/fan
ES shifter busings
Steel short throw shifter
Skink2 shift knob

The new shfit knob wih the new shfiter is so heavy it's awesome. Alnog with new shfiter bushings, it feels so nice.

Edit:

Forgot to add:

Driver side lower ball joing
Driver side axle

oil change, put on front license plate support bracket that was missing, painted passenger side ghetto looking chipped up mirror assembly, not as noticeably ghetto now.

holy dam, another screw in my tire, lf this time. now its 2 holes in lr, 1 in rf, and 1 in lf....what the heck.

Holy shit where do you drive? hahaha

Fired up the JDM D15B first try!

Next week install cam, clutch, cam gear, and do a mpfi swap.

YAY!.... this is gonna be one hell of a race car.

Mod of the day:

Installed rad hoses
Mounted breather can + install lines
Connected the wideband O2 back up and fan

I like to keep my vehicle authentic too...

USDM clutch slave today
USDM 5W30 complemented by a stunningly styled
USDM oil filter

Then ripped the valve cover off and tightened my rockers...quitened the motor down quite a bit but one of them is still slapping...gotta get a torque wrench...dunno which one it is, and don't want to overtighten the rest of them...

did you ever get a hookup on the samco hoses?

Na I just got OE ones. Wanna buy my old GSR upper to replace your dryer hose? :D

Mod of the day:

Finished off last fuel line
Installed primary O2 Sensor
Made new IC piping

Also mod of the day, the car, modded my shins by running me over and trampling me with the traction bar/rad support
