HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

So stoked, I tinkered all morning and I think it's set. Time to have a feast and rest for the coming day.





I gasped when I saw this, how scary!

COLOR OF CHOICE

The car progress is pretty slow, as always. Finals are coming up and this semester is almost over! Wish me luck BROS! So, summer time heat, car progress, fun, love, happiness, drunkenness, are all coming very soon.

This weekend, I finished the strut bar and welded in some lower radiator mounts to the s14 tension rod brackets. I made them out of 3/4 washers and some extra metal (since I got those sweet radiator bushings from Justin THANKS DUDE)

And I ended up painting the brackets pink WITH some copper sparkles, you can super see the difference in the sunlight and it's really, really cool.

Looks cool!


This one's for you RUIZ!

And then Yuta and Matt9000 came over, brought four lokos, got me drunk, and commandeered the camera.

SPL tension rods are finally in

Since the ghetto tension rod bracket I made out of the s12 bracket didn't work(rod couldn't reach), I had to get those s14 brackets. Pretty surprising, 3/4 holes directly line up and one hole just needed to be ovaled out.









on the ground, is a lot lower than the stock s12 bracket is, around the same as the oil pan.


thanks JUSTIN for hooking it up with these brand new tension rod bolts


exhaust is on, lots of mixed opinions about this compared to the old blast pipes, but I'm stoked on it!

s14 tension rod brackets

score! they just came. I was able to get my car up and running for a feature a month or so back when I ghetto'd my s12 tension rod brackets to fit s13 ebay tension rods that I borrowed, but they were completely maxed out in adjustment. They weren't even safely threaded in. So, for the final solution(not nazi germany) I decided to just get s14 tension rod brackets since they were the right length and angle for these SPL tension rods on my s12. Practically bolt in, just need to oval out a single hole. Time for the car to get up again!
