nice...did it make a difference?

i ordered my Profec B spec II and Greddy Turbo Timer yesterday. hmm...:D

still have to get a radiator...:rolleyes:

k3 you should have picked up a oem or koyo on sale before conceptZ moved.

oh and by the way i drilled and extracted that broke bolt in my TB and got new bolts and lock nuts and it seems fine now....woot woot

dunno if it's made a difference yet.. haven't taken it out for a rip yet... maybe sometime tonight or something... good to hear you got the bolt out probe, i hate it when stuff like that happens.

k3 you should have ordered me a profec b spec II while you were at it :p

yeah right...i cant afford 2 profec B's. just mine. :D

conceptzperformance is way overpriced i think...

i am looking at a radiator right now that should last me for a while until i can afford the Howe/electric fan/custom radiator bracket package.

i will be ordering my radiator ASAP...the wheels and tires kind of set me back a little but it all doesnt really matter since the car isnt ready to be started or anything yet. :lol:

I know what I'm ordering as soon as the Z is back on the road. I have been too long without one of these toys. (http://texasbrigadearmory.com/m40a3.htm)

i dont know...id kill my neighbors cats if i had a gun, they keep getting paw prints on my car. id probably take the neighbors out along with the cats.

i would blame the cats for my garbage being thrown all over the street but i also have a couple psychotic homeless people running the streets...ill get to the bottom of it though. you better believe...:D

yeah mine seems to like to do that as well... he seems to like it better on the 86 tho, which is good because it doesn't really matter if the paint gets worse on that car lol

I really need to get the Z running again.

I was prepping the heads for install today and started thinking:

Since they aren't installed yet...I could probably get a port and polish job done on them...wouldn't be too much more...

DO NOT BEGIN ****ING WITH CARS. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES. RUN AND DO NOT LOOK BACK.

*goes back to port matching his plenums*

broke are you EVER going to have that thing back together?

Hopefully. I figure I'll eventually run out of things to do and have to put it back together.

im doubting it...he is getting ridiculous with his "might as wells"

so...which one of you guys are gonna try to catch my post total??? :naughty:

Up yours. I got the bottom end back together don't I? Just keep putting parts on it and it has to get done some time.

Besides, I've come to enjoy the car on a transcendent level. Harmony within the supreme automotive cycle is the true path to enlightenment.

*looks down at two emptied cans of carb cleaner*

Maybe I should open a window or something.

:lol: thats ridiculous...

you should see my alley...

me and a buddy decided it wouldbe a good idea to have some fun with a torch and a couple cans of brake cleaner...well the next door neighbors tree didnt appreciate it.

then we took it a step further and laid down a line of gasoline 2 alleys long...it definitely lit up the neighborhood. :lol:

*looks up personal psychologist's phone numer...hmm....maybe i should give her a call tomorrow* i always have had an obsession with blowing up thigns and starting fires.

Then why not get paid? (www.army.mil)

:lol: hmm...id rather not be brainwashed by the minds of irrational government employed officials. anyways, i dont want to kill anybody, i just like playing with the deadly toys. unless of course we were talking about taking out Washington DC... :D


EDIT: let me just clarify to any US government spies...i am not planning any kind of attack on washington dc or the government. this post was a simple joke...so f*** off!

id rather not be brainwashed by the minds of irrational government employed officials.

I didn't know that was part of the program, because my brain could use a good washing. (http://img55.exs.cx/img55/6461/picture0194jd.jpg)

Hey guys, how has everyone been?

Life is finally becoming a bit more under control, so I can get online more often now.

Just a litte update for you guys. The Civic is now, the Race only car. It is getting ready to be untitled, and taken off the insurance.

The rear portion of the car has undergone a thorough weight reduction, removal of sound deffining material, excess sheet metal and electronics such as ABS control.

The stock motor is being pulled out, and the B20B motor is getting ready to go in. The B20B motor is out of the Honda CRV (Yes, an SUV motor into a coupe :evillol: ). The motor is in the machine shop at the moment, getting 85mm JE 11:1 Compression Ratio pistons, with High Ratio rings, Eagle Rods, ACL Bearings, ARP bolts, and getting the stock Crankshaft Micropollished, Balanced and Knife Edged.

As for the Head, the B20B head is being sold. We're putting a VTEC B18C1 (Integra GSR) Head on top of the torque monster B20. The motor will be good for revs into 9,000RPM and will produce as much Torque as it will Horse Power (near 250bhp).

The head is being milled down .030, getting a Three Angle Valve, new valve seals and guides, combustion chambers pollished, and the exhaust and intake ports matched. Not to mention it will be held down with ARP Head Studs.

We're building the intake manifold right now. Four Individual Throttle Bodies :naughty:

We're taking the Throttle Bodies off a Sukuzi GSX-R 600. Welding them onto the ports, which are welded onto the Intake flange. We're fabricating up the TPS (Throttle Possition Sensor) onto the Throttle, so the readings will be accurate. The Throttle bracket off a D16A6 will mount directly on, making for accurate throttle. And RC550cc injectors will mount directly into the injector ports after a small bore job. Also, the Golden Eagle Vaccum Manifold will take care of the Vaccum line issue.

After the Intake is complete, I'm taking it up to Jacksonville (I can't remember the name of the company off the top of my head, although I have it written down somewhere) to have a Carbon Fiber 'Surge Tank' created.

The Transmission I bought is fully Race Built. With Cryogenically treated internals, and Carbon syncros. It will last a life time. The Transmission is out of a JDM EG6 Civic with B16A motor. It will have VERY tight gear ratios, first gear is pretty much useless at WOT.

So... 250bhp Inline Four Honda motor, 2.0liter DOHC VTEC with ITB, good for revs into 9,000RPM, and the tightest B-Series Transmission... Sounds like an Auto Cross motor to me :smile:

I'll post pictures up soon. How's everyone elses projects coming along?

so, i assume you do not have a Z yet?? :lol:

j/k...it sounds like a monster civic and i want to see some video of it running. what do you got for suspension???

that sounds like it's going to be one killer civic wes... who'da thought it when you first got it it would be such a crazy car.. i think i remember you saying "i'll never modify it too much, i must get another Zed as fast as possible" now look at you.. lol

Haha, I know seriously :rolleyes:

I'm still searching for my perfect Zed... I've come across quite a few, and none of them have really 'done it' for me. Either they are WAY over priced, or they are pieces of Shit. I'll find one, soon I hope.

Jason, as for the suspension, I forgot to mention. As of now the suspension is Tokico HP Struts/TEIN S Tech Springs, Skunk2 Front-Rear Camber Kits and Suspension Techniques Front Sway Bar.

Soon, I'll have Koni Yellows (Best Shocks hands down) and Eibach Sport-Line Springs. Full Chassis bracing, and a 6-Point Roll Cage. At which point I'll break down and buy a good Racing Seat, and 5-Point Harness... They're just so Damn expensive :rolleyes:

How's the Twin Turbo conversion coming Jason... And Delerious... Nice Zed31 :D

-Wes

How's the Twin Turbo conversion coming Jason... And Delerious... Nice Zed31 :D

-Wes

well its coming...

motor is back in...i had to order some trans bolts so that will go up next. and everything else will follow. its just a matter of time now...

i am pretty much speachless...i really dont know what to think. do i like it or dont I???
http://members.aol.com/DRShissler/bg23.jpg

thanks wes. that 'vert z31 looks like it's trying way too hard to look like a 'vert rx-7... some of the 7's look nice, but i think that's downright ugly... the rims completely ruin it for me.

from certain angles it looks good...but other angles it looks like poop. :dunno:

... That poor Zed is confused :lol:

You've got to give it points for the unique quality though.

-Wes

yeah, i'd like to see how much rigidity the chassis lost.. hopefully there was some good reinforcing done!

I'm back from vacation! Nice and rested! Going to buy some old-school Advan Siena's for the Z on Friday! FINALLY FOUND THE PERFECT SET!!!!

Wes: Good to see you! That Hon-duh sounds tight!

Jason: Trouble with the tranny? Shoulda stayed AT...

BTW: When did RedNeck get rid of his Z and buy a Z28 (booo!)?

... Matt got rid of his Panda? :eek:

-Wes

he didnt buy a Z28...i wont believe it. last time i heard he was buying something else but i didnt think it was a camaro.

yeah...trouble with the tranny but it will be worth it when im done. some people arent to lazy to shift a gear or 2...:lol:

Pffft... I'll be doing 11's in my AT while you are struggling with shifting, Boy! I'm sooooooooooo excited about my Siena's!

Pffft... I'll be doing 11's in my AT while you are struggling with shifting, Boy! I'm sooooooooooo excited about my Siena's!

mine will look better...you will see!!!

pshh, you will be doing 11's behind me... you got alot of catching up to do Jorge, im waiting to see something.

matt no... why would he do something like that... if he really did i'll be so disappointed :(

anyway, good to hear from ya georgy, thought you walked off the face of the earth again. i'll be waiting to see that 11 second timeslip.. punk!

Uh...yeah...11s come AFTER you finally figure out what you're going to do with the car.

Anyway, define "fun": Feeding the seagulls at an out door Honda show.

so...

i received my "Twin Turbo" and "Nissan Fairlady Z" decals today. just one step further till i can claim to have a 2+2 Twin Turbo. :evillol:

So what do you have to show for all of your time and money invested, Broke?

-Wes

Well, just for you, I'm going to go back and edit some of my posts with update pictures in them.

I'm going to write "ZedEx luvs teh cock" at the bottom and you can do a search for them.

:D

sorry, but i gotta do it...

hey wes what's the hardest part about owning a honda?

telling your parents that you're gay :D

hehehe, don't ban me

... Matt got rid of his Panda? :eek:

-Wes

Well last time I spoke to him I thought he said he was going to sell it... and if you flip back about four pages and you'll see it in his sig...a white Z28. :confused:

Wes, post pix of your Honda...


mine will look better...you will see!!!

pshh, you will be doing 11's behind me... you got alot of catching up to do Jorge, im waiting to see something.

I thought you were installing it in as 'stock'? I'm buying all my mods then installing... I figure it will be easier this way...... I figure about 500rwhp and I'll be running 12's... with some tuning and suspension/weight loss mod's then I'll be running 11's with more HP and hopefully knocking at the door to the 10's......... I've got one more year of payments on this bitch... then after that all my $$$ is going into the engine/tranny. Plus I'm gonna go to Welding 'school' and maybe get ASE certified if things work out.... so that will help me out with cash-flow.


Uh...yeah...11s come AFTER you finally figure out what you're going to do with the car.



My dearest, Broke... how right you are! Words are meaningless! But I can assure you I will have one of the fastest Z32's here in due time. Please be patient... BTW: How fast are you going right now, Broke? :lol:

Uh if you are making 500rwhp and only running 12s then you must either be running a 100% drift car or just can't drive.

And according to the closest approximent calculations, I am currently doing 128,000 miles an hour, give or take 10k.

LoL

I'm guess-timating here. I figure I'll be running 12's without proper engine and suspension tuning and on Street radials.... once I pop out all the kinks and drop weight (remember I'm a fatty 2+2) I'm hoping low 11's and into the high 10's.... what do you think guys?

:sly: :nono: :screwy: :disappoin :mad:

http://www.bottomliner.com/z28sig.jpg

RedNecks new car..... BoOoOoOoOoooooOOooOooooo! You are not allowed to MOD in here anymore, Matt! Apoint Jason as new Z MOD please and never show your face here again traitor! LoL

LoL

Find the car closest to what you are building and compare.

damn, missed first post on page 200... oh well.. nother milestone down the drain...

and matt, you disappoint us all

And once again.

It looks like.

I will be the one.

Tip this thread over.

The next digit.

stop whoring lol

In the thousands range.

You signed up a month before me and have almost twice as many posts and you accuse me of whoring?

Fuck it

And reply 3000.

Hey Delerious... Go back to page 199 and read your posts at the bottom... So you finally did it man? That's good, you needed to get it out. :lol:

Broke, I'm far too lazy to search... Just post the link.

George, I'll post some pictures when I get back from work today.

-Wes

You better grab a Z quick, Wesley... In about 5 years some of our Z32's are gonna become 'classics' and I'm sure prices may rise a bit more.

http://www.300zxclub.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=18500&stc=1

I love this pic... although the Siena's I'm getting are the OG First Gen. I believe (which doesn't seem to be too different at all)... just wish they were bronze! That would look so kick ass on my Z32!!!
