That is a 7M-GTE in my kitchen. It was such a PITA to get it in there. The rear door into my appartment was narrower than the engine. So I had to jump in the car, run over to the garage ( my brothers place ) and get some tools to take the turbo off.
I kickass because there is a 7M-GTE in...
Good times. Thanks for letting me drive your car! I just die for the sound of 7M engines! :love:
I was so glad to ditch that shady van. I put 20 gallons of gas total in today, less than 200 miles. :nono:
Good seeing you Jenny and Troy
Real men can admit when another man is handsome. Doesn't mean you are a homo, just means that you are secure with your self!
Don't think I agree about that guy though
supra90: I feel the same way. There are lots of old domestic cars that I do like, and rad rod style is hot. But the show car stuff is just so far from what I consider tasteful. Its American rice, they just polish chrome and don't drive.
And Hardly Ablesons? The permanent loosing. They are the...
Yeah I guess its "JDM" but that is not what it is about for me at all. I like the look, I think its rad. If American street rods where doing it and not the super lame chromed everything and idiot flame paint jobs and stuff I would like those cars better!
Anyway. I hope to be able to start...
Its cool IJ. I am not offended. Like I said, its really not for everyone. I even expected some people to be upset or think I am an idiot! Its ok. Dunno, maybe I will decide I don't like it after all once the car is out of the garage and I can see the whole thing. As is I like it though.
And...
Thanks for the support Kyle! It is a very Japanese thing. I am sure some Yakuza would issue a hit on me if they saw some stupid gaijin copying this old school Japanese style.
Bend your plate in CA and get rolled! Japanese cops don't care what you do, not so here!
Thanks for the compliments! I also don't mind hearing that many of you don't like it at all. I knew it was going to be one of those love it or hate it deals. I the only way I can get the lines out front of the car is through the headlight, cutting metal and the plastic grill. I really didn't...
Thanks Kyle! I know I am not getting high marks for the fuel setup, and a few other things. But really I am trying hard to make this nice. I am a total shade-tree mechanic, I don't actually know that much about cars. I am in way over my head on this project!
But I am doing because I love doing...
:biglaugh: thanks that was IJ's concept there, I thought it was really funny.
At last, here are the photos of the mounted oil cooler. I hope its not too dissapointing! I think it rocks.
It looks a bit crooked but that is because of the bumper, its just shaped that way.
The logo...
Post EFI pump I have worm gear clamps. I don't know what the hose says on it, but it is all fuel hose. Pre EFI pump I know the hose is rated to 50psi. That is 35psi more than it could ever possibly see. Post EFI I used something else, don't know its rating but it is obviously higher quality...
This is funny. I post a little blood and gore and I get more responses to my thread than I have in many pages! hahaha
Supra90turbo: Yeah I agree. The fuel pump setup looks like ass, especially from that angle. From where I was working on it directly under the setup looks better. I didn't...
Today
Not much news, just plugging along. Had to run to the hardware store AGAIN. Everyday it feels like I have to go for all these little do-dads and whatchahoozeys that are needed. The $$$ is really starting to add up! :cry:
Fuel pumps are mounted and wired along with the relay and my...
I agree. Its not that great. Firstly, the government is HUGE.
But it could be worse. In all, not a bad place to live.
My youngest brother is moving to Canada. Seems like a great place. I would like to go sometime! Gotta brush up on my French and Hockey so I fit in better!
Yep all of them. Not a single one on suffed into some muddy corner of a reservation trailer park.
I am moving to Austrailia. No really, I will be doing a study abroad in a few years. Always wanted to go there
