JDM BEAMS Notchback track build

[ke_70]

more updates

done shitloads, still got shitloads more to go


tailshaft finished, this #### owes me about 1k now!




new drycell battery mounted properly finally




ripped out all my old fuel lines and replaced them with 6an braided lines. ran them through the inside for extra internet points










here's what the engine bay looks like, mounted my fuel reg properly, vaccume lines neatened up, braided fuel lines, 110mm trumpets, new oil catchcan setup.




new oil catch can.





new rear ride height and track, pokes about 10mm now which is what i was aiming for. need a wee little bit of flarage yet











car's certainly getting there, just waiting on some of the last fuel fittings and all my braided brake hoses to get then it's ready to drop onto the ground after i get some tyres.

sooooo providing there's no issues it should make the 22nd easy!

Mother of god, Beams looks good in there.

[ke_70]

thanks! hopefully have a vid of it running tomorrow!

[benzo]

nice progress, bay looks awesome

I'm gonna be pushin' it for the 22nd, but I'll do my best to put some dark green paint on this

[ke_70]

can you paint over the green atleast first? i don't think it'd suit at all haha

just steer clear of the trueno!

you got a back up plan... apart from stealing choad's s15?

[willa]

Oh gawd clay i just wanna dick punch you for putting this aside and wasting time and effort on the dir-teen.





But looks good man, can't wait for you to finally bring some joy to all your hard work.

[benzo]

it WILL be done

but I will take the Corona out too

[ke_70]

most people would have given up by now...
most people arn't as useless as me at building car either mind you.

last of the fuel fittings are here, still need a fuel pressure guage for the regulator which should come tomorrow.

all the brake lines and shiz will be here tomorrow!

[ke_70]

brake lines here!




this i all the lines you see in the bay




and fuel system is done also! so the engines running all sweet again!

just gotta run the rear and hydro brake lines bleed them and it's all done!

fingers crossed there's no issues bleeding the brakes...

[Delazy]

out of curiousity, where did you run the brake lines?? currently torn between standard or braided lines myself...least of my worries but, always keen to absorb other peoples ideas/methods...
