Cold Winter

So i finally got my enjuku racing manifold in (exhaust) it was a bitch to put on i swear took me like a day in a half because i don't have the correct tools hahah...So once again where did i find myself? LOWES!!! YAAAAAY hahah jp but got it on finally and now i need a new oil catch can

SEE!! It doesn't fit at all anymore (THATS WHAT SHE SAID)

So anyway with all this happiness and anticipation of getting the z done guess what the fuck karma brings my way..
-Crash my sisters car into a lightpole 1500 feet away from the house
-Wasn't sober
-D.U.I
-Night in Jail
-Family won't talk to me right now

the list could go on. So guess where my money is going to for the next couple of months...
My sisters truck..YAAAAYYY...-__- FUCK!!!!!

FUCK MY FUCKING LIFE!!! just when you think things can't get worse it does...jeez

So guys looks like i am gonna have to put the z under real construction. Right when i was gonna get my mounts and harness..FML!!

Bored!

Got bored and put on the fender mirrors i had bought from a datsun 720 truck...i like them because i can adjust them anyway i like. The jdm ones for 300 bucks don't do that shit and mine i only bought for 40 bucks..I was going to put in the autometer boost gauge but i can't take off the damn dashboard lol

Fuel cell is here

So ive got the fuel cell,
gonna do something a little bit different than what alot of other peeps are doing...

if you don't know, than everybody cuts all of the spare tire well out and makes brackets and all this blah blah blah pain for the fuel cell to be very low to the ground..Im a lover of hellaflush and i want to eventually slam/dump/scrape..lol not scrape but put a skid plate in the front and slam the car a good two subway sandwhiches lol..hahah jp. itll be a nice slam though..not like ridiculous you can't drive but itll be pretty low..anyways the pic of this right here is what the spare tire part looks like..

That's too much work...lol so i bought a 12 gallon fuel cell, and the mounts i started cutting and my grinder blade fucking broke so i had to go to the store and it got too late to work on the car so i just skipped it till tommorrow will update when the it's done

as you can see where i started to cut so the cell will mount snuggly..gonna finish cutting that little oem mounting part for the wheel and then smooth down the around area tommorrow should be nice.

See the mounts..look at the mounts, now look at your girlfriend, now look at me, now look at the mounts..as you can see im on a horse..but not just any horse -__- lol jp

ill have the finished product up tommorrow

*EDIT*

Finish product..i think it looks pretty dwamn nice

Back:thats the oem whole right there, gonna have -6 lines fed to the top of my cell

Front: gonna replace the -8 fittings to -6 fittings

Last three pics are the bottom of the cell

Some progress

So i had to tow the car, and motor from my friends house to my house.
Long story but me and him don't talk anymore, nor do me and my girlfriend >sigh< my fault though

anyways so i towed it and when i get it to my garage i find out that i need a new front bumper since i towed it with tow straps lol..ahh well im buying some airdam later anyways lol

ended up doing some late night cleaning in the interior. im soo much happier it's at my house now, i can work on it whenever i want now.

I cut off the hood latch
resprayed the front grill
removed excess in interior
cleaned interior
started to grind down the old mounts but got tired lol. will do that tommorrow

As you can see i cut alittle bit of the hood latch it's finished already

those mounts on the crossmember need to go

Figured i would sell the sr20 and go big while im at home....2jz baby hahaha

Sucks!

Been having a few issues with life. Almost gave up on my car in general
-Lost my girlfriend
-Lost a good friend
-Lost two families i was close to
-Lost my dog


It was all from a few incidents I MADE, and taking the blame for my actions responisbly has showed alot in my eyes.

but what can i do, life goes on gotta finish this car and keep my head forward

sorry don't have a facebook or anything so i wanted to vent lol

Geting shit done finally

Finally got my hands dirty with the z, like my plan earlier i decided to test my inside electrical and come to find out unexpectedly everything works...from the blinker down to the wipers everything works...so that saves me some cash, thank god!!
So pulled the l series motor out last night, came up 90 bucks with all the stuff taken off. other than that i pulled all those un-needed vac lines along with the ac since im not going to use the a/c system towed the car halfway to the gas station where there was a pressure washer and had to jack the car up and unbolt the driveshaft
some progress pics

                                                                    

that motor was pretty straight forward taking it out, man i was like damn i wish the sr20 would be this easy putting it in lol

                                          Jean claude van-damn that's cleaner than earlier lol

  the engine bay is soooo much cleaner than it was...glad i took the time to tow it down to the gas station to get it cleaned. It was worth it.

Next will be getting the mounts this coming paycheck which is the 7th so waiting will be the key again because i hear the wait is like 2 weeks...Need my damn school money soon this is getting ridiculouso
