Shredding tires is way more fun than *real* racing.
The car FINALLY went off for wiring today. First time out of the garage. Showing off the ridiculous exhaust. I think it’s like a giant wing, you need to have the aero to back it up, this exhaust just looks weird with a stock bumper. Bleh. It’s been a very frustrating two months, that bit [...]

When you buy a JDM SR20DET swap conversion, there are some maintenance items you should take care of before dropping the motor into its new home. The OEM coolant lines are a mess, especially the lines under the intake manifold, so this is my documentation along with some ideas to simplify the whole thing. So [...]
Bolted up the last piece this week, the coolant reservoir. Filled it with distilled water and water wetter for max cooling. Can’t wait to see how it does. Sending the car off for wiring next week. Getting a fresh, complete custom harness and switch panel from Jordan Innovations in Irwindale. Hoping to have it running [...]

Almost there. I can count on one hand how many things remain. The PS lines are run, just need to cut them down to size and attach them to the cooler. Then mount the oil cooler and maybe get some shorter lines. Once they’re done, it’s off for wiring and alignment. The radiator support is [...]

I just think this pic looks cool. Radiator support, headlights and Powered By Max intercooler unbolted as one piece. Time to paint the radiator support. PBM intercooler is rad as hell.

It’s been a busy week. I’m waiting on some new tubing as well so progress has kind of stalled. Been doing other minor open items on the car and in the garage like removing some more sound deadening and making a tire storage rack. This is really the only major progress I’ve made; cutting the [...]

Mounted up the exhaust last night, front to back. Heat wrapped from the turbo elbow back to just before the muffler section. You can also see the Circuit Sports SR20DET transmission mount in the picture. The CS mount is a really nice unit – solid and fits perfectly for a good price. This exhaust is [...]

So it’s been over a week, bleh. Between working and working on the car, haven’t had a chance to update really. Worked on the car past midnight a couple times this week though, so progress is being made. I got the last two parts I needed for the rear suspension and bolted it all up. [...]
