My super slow cheap build thread

Bought a new steering wheel from a member here, hopefully i’ll have it soon and put up some pics.:rockon:

Tires rotated and hoping the steering wheel will be here soon

Paint it

Post it:)

New used steering wheels is on. Now I’m debating what to do next.

Middle of pulling powersteering.

New to me steering wheel.

Started to plan my “mini wire tuck”. I’ll most likely only hide the harness for the lights and a few other things, most of the engine harness, fuse box and relays will still be there. A rear mount, an exhaust leak, and a rear strut bar are also in the works.

That’s pretty much what I did as well. More of a “cleaning up” of the wiring rather than a tuck. All the main wiring is still in place but I hid some of the small stuff and removed anything that wasn’t needed. You could also clean up the look of your bay just by adding a stock exhaust manifold cover and putting a fresh coat of flat black paint on it. Much better lookin’ than a rusted manifold…

Newest bay pics. All of the P/S was pulled and then some simple green action.

Anyone know about tucking the clutch line?

i think darussionone is right your front lower control arms must be bent in… other than its looking good… bro keep it up oh and for the cable line… run it under your intake mani

Ya he was, I found out I was missing a good bit of suspension hardware from the front passenger side, but its been fixed now. I was thinking under the intake manifold, maybe I’ll give it a go tomorrow.

Its been a long time since and update, been kinda busy with school and starting a new job. But, I have got a second set of wheels and new tires were ordered from work. I picked up some 16’’ Enkei RP02 and some Nitto Neogens. I’ll be refinishing wheels soon and picking up a few small goodies. I currently have some wet floor board drama to address.

did u just pull all the p/s components out or did u also loop the lines if u dont mind me askin?

i “gently” persuaded my clutch cable under th IM

Looped it and pulled all the lines and other parts.

I deiced not to refinish the wheels and just put the tires on. Hopefully I can get some pics up soon. I think I want to go a little lower now also.

Got the wiper arms in the front painted today! Hopefully I’ll get the rear done tomorrow! It also got a new battery this weekend.:gayfight:

looking good. Are you missing a bol tfor your exhaust manifold?

i have the matching strut bar for the rear keep up the good workk man

Ya, when I got the car the stud was broken, I plan on getting a GSR longblock to put in so the b18a hasn’t gotten much love.

I’ve been wanting to pick up a rear one for some time now, but keep coming up with other expenses, like a tools for work and 675’s for my z32.
