RECENT PROJECTS


So lately i decided to get into gear on the rear subframe for the white coupe, and with the Metcalf Coyotes' help, i was able to SPL my shit!
but first!, my hat!

Started by making cardboard templates, then traced the shapes on a piece of flat metal sheet, then cut them with an angle grinder, and bent and tacked the pieces into place. After that i went around each piece and put a bead down all around. Then i primed it, and painted it gold!! yes!, soon to be pressed in are PBM solid subframe risers:)

So the other night i'm on my way home from a friends, and all of a sudden something starts sparking/scraping under the car, and continues till i got home...i soon found this:Photobucket

Now the piping is probably at a maximum 1" at a certain point...being low comes with a price eh? I quick-fixed it with a wire hanger and need to find a cheap exhaust asap.

Today i got my clutch in... Only the was a problem...

The pressure plate was forsure an Exedy pp, but the clutch disk was not at all what i'd seen other 240's clutches look like. After a harrowing array of phone calls between the seller and the actual Exedy USA company, i made the correct assumption about the disk not being legit and was comfirmed by the guy at Exedy(even though the seller was so sure it was real Exedy, yeah, it wasnt). Sent the box back and will soon get my money back and not order again from cheap ebay sellers, haha, i've learned my lesson.
Funny thing was the pictures of clutch care on the box ^^^ :P

Also created this cluster for fun, i'm going to put it in the track car
