A proper build thread for 1501

[LIV4PSI]

Ashamed to admit I was stolen by the world of FB. Pretty active on the page there, and have a ton on GVR4 guys on my friends list. It makes me feel in the loop, but this place will always be home

Now your car just needs paint! Especially the hood and trunk. But don't paint them yet. When you inevitably partout, i'm going to need those bits so i can paint them KG. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

What at this point of my ownership makes you think I would part it out? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

I'm a lifer. And if I get half my winter plans done, I won't be able to afford to ever sell it

 

[mitsuturbo]

Stop crushing my hopes and dreams. I know you live in the rust belt. With any luck the car will corrode around the parts i want, in time. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif

Since Craig stole the trunk from me with a lower offer I have first dibs during part out /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif

Thanks to Ginev all of my rare CF goodies will be a dime a dozen come winter

I can't seem to get any pictures to upload, but I've dove into a pretty in depth build for this winter. I've been working hard on real estate for the last few years and this is my payoff.Hoping to race IFO FIS class, Street Car Takeover and the Shootout of course

Cliff notes are:
-FP Xona 82*67 turbo
-PPG Dogbox w/ all the goodies
-Haltech

Looking forward to the pics!

 

[slugsgomoo]

Can we get some updated pics Craig?

 

[ApexHunter]

Yeah wtf Craig

 

[LIV4PSI]

It’s coming around 🫣

 

[LIV4PSI]

It has IDS rear shocks that we added for this season. It’s had the STM drag brakes for a few years now. Added the JBX carrier bearing this off-season as well, with the DSS shaft I’ve had for a decade 😂

 

[turbomister2]

This thing is a goal setter for galants 😍

 

[slugsgomoo]

Craig, what's the info on that carrier? Is it a reasonable replacement for the stock ones, as the kits are drying up?

It’s made by JXB Performance. Only costs about double a stock one. They offer two different hardness levels. Super easy to install as it’s a two piece design.

I’ll try and update more of what we’ve been up to. In the middle of quite a few things

 

[LIV4PSI]

Battery relocation is finished, along with the kill switch. We used:

-Taylor battery box
-Moroso billet battery terminals
-Data Panel 200amp solid state relay
-Flaming River kill switch

 

[LIV4PSI]

We filled almost 80 unused holes in the engine bay, including where the factory wiring harness was. Should have it in paint by next weekend

 

[LIV4PSI]

Mostly in primer

 

[LIV4PSI]

Fresh new paint and clear with all the holes shaved
