the s12 isnt too hard to modify, i like the fact that its a S chassis and i can still go out there and perform with all the s13's, and yea, here on the east coast s12's are kinda hard to find, i drove to north carolina about 6 hours to get this one


and the bottle is my coolant overflow ;)

[lilredhonda]

i love seeing poeple build there own homemade parts

[whatrwedoingnow]

fuck yea hom made ftw

i popped the knuckles off

things to do
drill my q45 rotors to 4 lug

remove dust shields

buy new rubber seal thingys for the rubber things on the ball joint



I CANNOT REMOVE THIS KNUCKLE! it was easy on the s12 one while it was on the car, but these are off


so for now im test fitting the coils with my spare knuckles, but i really dont feel like swapping hubs over

[whatrwedoingnow]

did some work tonight/this morning

i love coilovers




people say this is scetchy, because i cant fit the cottor pin through, but can i just drill a new hole and do that?



i might make a bracket for this brake line to keep it
from going left and right, if it holds pressure etc. will this be fine?



next, id to drill the rotors on my dads drill press





240 guys, removal of stockclutch damper, price,=FREE

what do ya get out of it? u get a stiffer clutch feel, and feel more connected to the clutch, and bleeding the clutch line is 1000 times faster when you dont have a damper

what do to, just disconnect the line that goes to the damper, disconnect the damper line that goes tot he clutch slave soft line, and then reconnect the disconnected lien from the damper, to the soft line, by carefully bending the hardline, lets you bypass the clutch damper


here r sum pics
heres the damper


see how the hardline is bent, to go right to the softline, instead of the damper


okay i ditched the stock tie rods due to saftey reasons

added s13 ones, one of them is kinda shot, its 6.67 at the yard so ill grab another one this week


and, its like 6 am, so random pictas can go on
btw im ditching those tires... to save space, anyone want?







heres a easy way to get the inner tie rod loose

[lilredhonda]

buy new rubber seal thingys for the rubber things on the ball joint
