the slow build of my vr4

[kama1]

Hahahaha!its a very merry xmas.

 

[kama1]

Changed the dashboard.this one is way better than the other unit.
Installed a heater core and cleaned up some of the wiring down there.

Rear fog switch and headlight washer is wired up.

Also wired a make shift intercooler sprayer switch and a tire monitor from my old pajero

A friend of mine dropped off my newly painted rims this morning,he picked the color for me.brit black i think from prodrive.
Nicked the caliper a bit when we tested it on


Ralliart!



And i have a question for the jdm e39a owners,do your windows have power to open or close it after taking the key out of the ignition?it takes a few seconds i think,just want to know if its normal,ive never seen this feature(dont even know if its standard) in any of my e33a or my old dsm harnessed vr4.

 

[fuel]

yes on my E39A I can work the windows for about 30 seconds after I've taken the key out of the ignition. I assume it's the same for sunroof cars too.

 

[kama1]

Thanks fuel!
now i know its not messed up.my sunroof doesnt work like that though.

 

[GSX_TC]

I really like those ralliart lugs. =)

 

[kama1]

Thanks mike!
Heres the part no ray65008,these ones will only fit oem rims.
Theres another type for aftermarket rims,im pretty sure you can get them there.

Just had to post it.

Needs a good cleaning and an engine.

[blacksheep]

So jealous of some of those rare parts I see going on your car. Well done, mate!

 

[kama1]

Thanks guys,fiberglass bumper vents and block offs i can ship.
Just need to get pistons and a front cover so the long engine build can start.

 

[kama1]

Finally have all the missing pieces for my engine!yey!
Its just weird seeing 6 vr4 pistons together,i feel like im building an rb or td.
Now to get back to work,want this thing on the road soon.

 

[kama1]

Another wheel fail.
A friend of ours dropped off a set of rims last night to get the tires unmounted to sell off the rims.
I figured id try them on this morning,rims are from my friend alex who also supplied the brakes.

Enkei rp01 17x8 +38

1/4 spacer needed for the front




No spacers in the Rear




Folding rear seats,still dont have the matching fronts

 

[transparentdsm]

[kama1]

Are these the Compmotive M05..i believe its the name. I want to run these on my GVR4 but the version thats completely flat face, never could find pics of them mounted on the car.

 

[kama1]

They are oem wheels for the 3kgt/gto made by enkei.i believe usdm 3kgt models have these but in chrome.

 

[calcaliente]
