car update

So i've been in the process of dropping my JDM GSR into my del sol for about 3 weeks now. Everything has gone perfect other than missing a motor mount bracket but now i'm on the 2nd set of shift linkages and i duno why. The first time we tried to bolt it up, it was clearly to short (a good 3-4 inches) well after i came home and checked the site i got it off.... stupid me, it was for a b16 gsr. So i purchased the B18 gsr linkage and it just got here yesterday. Well go to slap it on... it's about 5" too short on the static bar and about 1/2" - 3/4" short on the functional bar. So i'm just going to extend each bar as far as i need rather than pay some pro to tell me what i need. Gay.

 

thats what you get for working with hondas

 

yea the friend that's helping me w/ it is like "dude, don't even start to get frusterated.... this is just the beginning of the problems to come" lol he's a HUGE honda guy. He's currently running an H22 in his GUTTED CRX. After he gets his manifold i he'll be running 8-10lbs on something similar to PTE's SC-5031E. So it should be pretty beastly.

 

BUT after all of this paperwork and money thing is done i will be purchasing a car to rebuild my credit... guess what car i'm just about 99% set on? :-D IX

 

i dont get it... what car are you getting?

 

FINALLY .

Well im not gonna give my hopes up, cuz we've heard this before

 

haha yea i know but i know that i want 4 dr, every car that i ever own will have some kind of performance side to it... the IX has more than enough of that for me lol, i know that i want it to still be quiet for when i'm on business trips... QTP Elec. Cutout. So it really has everything that i'm looking for. Hard decision.... what color???????? lol i don't want to hear all of your opinions b/c they are only going to make me think harder and get more agitated.

 

haha that's tru yeah i'm trying to get one too, but needa sell my gs-t first. which is taking forever to get running right. and it's weird u're having trouble with the del sol, cuz i did a ls turbo swap into a del sol and didn't run into any problems. the only problem was, 2 hours after my buddy got a boost controller for it he blew up the engine[:@], so i had to do it all over again,haha

 

I can't wait to see the del sol done!!! U should post pics as u go so we can see your progress... I have been gone for a while but I haven't seen pics in a lonnnnngggg time!

 

well i did an update about a week or so ago w/ the engine sitting in the car... it's under "UPDATE... for those who care" lol or something like that about 1 or 2 pages back or you can look at my myspace www.myspace.com/ronjr9186
