start of a long journey

hahaha, you guys crack me up

as far as the bumper goes, as i said, i have bigger things to save for (such as my engine lol) so i am not worried about what it looks like or anything right now. i may sell it down the road and/or trade for a different one. who knows.

as far as color, it isnt painted the same. its a big project, im not that worried bout looks at the moment. i dont have the funds to be worried about it haha

the interior is in good shape too, in case you were wondering about the body, there are probably 3 or 4 paint chips, otherwise flawless. it has never been wrecked or anything. oh, and there is NO rust on it, anywhere from what i can see. the air controls are mounted on the pass side airbag. thats gay, and i plan on moving it back to the middle. so anyone have an airbag cover/unit you can sell me?

[Adollarwodbnice]

WTF?! Can I see more pics of that....

[futurevr4man]

of what? the air conditioning controls? tell me what you wanna see and ill go take some pics for ya!

[Adollarwodbnice]

Yeah I wanna see that whole setup... like your whole cockpit... did he remove the air bag then put it in or is the airbag still functional... that'd be really dangerous lol.

[futurevr4man]

lol, well im at school right now, so i can take any pics, but yeah, he removed the airbag and then like used the mesh metal, its not really mesh, but i dont know how else to say it, its like 1/8 inch metal with a bunch of holes stamped out in it. he found screws i guess that fit in the holes just right, and bolted it in. i am not looking forward to getting it to move back over, its gonna be a pain. ill take a pic or two sometime soon 4 ya tho

[futurevr4man]

well, im not sure how many people want to know the progress, but here it is anyhow.

i have bought the side mirrors and a front crashbar. i plan on doing the robo mod to my lights some weekend soon, will post pics of that, and i will probably put some angle eyes on them as well (only if i can get it clean enough though)

i am pretty set on my engine idea, although, i do want to make sure to give credit where credit is due. a guy named LeigerReign, or matt is his real name, came up with the idea, and i am going with it as well.

like i said on page one:
a 6g74 with 6g72 heads and a 6g75 crank. matt has graciously decided to try and make some rods and pistons for me because he has access to all sorts of machines for it. i assume he knows what hes doing lol, so i will kinda be the test dummy. it will have (if all goes to plan) an 8.5:1 compression, 93mm bore and a 90mm stroke. it will be twin turbo'd, although im not sure if im gonna use the stock manifolds or not (they bolt right up tho =D)

this setup will be more than enough for the 500awhp mark, and it will be cheaper than buying a 6g72tt engine. its also nice i have all the little things i need laying around already.

so, all in all, the update is just me saying, i have come to conclusions, and i hope to be able to post some more concrete ideas and photos soon.

-nate-

Sounds pretty cool... 500hp is scary so good luck lol.

Hey, whatever happened to getting more pics of that digi climate control dealie... I wanna see how it is put in there... never seen it like that before.

[futurevr4man]

my fault! i will go take some now... be back in a sec
