Not to mention any other engine besides a k-series is an illegal swap.

Jesus. Hope this thing is not a daily driver, because if you get T-boned, that aluminum pipe will ventilate your neck. Nice suspension goodies.

Looks nice, but have fun with drive-thrus, parking garages, and everything else in the states that is built for LHD vehicles. I've been driving a LHD vehicle in the UK now for three years and it's farking inconvenient. But I'll take the inconvenience of a LHD on the wrong side of the road over...

Always nice seeing that car man.

The military will pay for one vehicle to be shipped with you overseas and coming back. Any more than one and you have to pay for the additional vehicles. Seems fair to me. Unless you're dual military (married to another service member) and then you both get a vehicle shipped.

I'm glad I have access to the base hobby shop and can just go spend $3 and do my alignment whenever I tweak with something.

More laydays....

This thread would explain your k-series knowledge! Looks really good man. Love the attention to detail you took on the build. :thumbs up:

Ach so. I thought they had it. Thanks for the correction.

Yes. It has an LSD and one more gear.

As long as it's that top one, that's a good deal!

I'm just eliminating any resistance that some electrical gremlin might face on its way to ground out on the frame. I was having some goofy electrical issues until I upgraded and added a couple more grounding points. It might not do anything, but it's kind of a lucky penny since my electrical...

Come on folks, search a little. DC Sports on my car: Neuspeed on someone's weak sauce NA setup.

No. You should replace the belt because it's squeaking and it's only like $15. Just because the AC belt shares with the alternator is no reason to replace it.

Exactly. PS pump runs on it's own belt, the AC and alt. share a belt. The reason it goes away as you run the car is that the belt warms up, gets soft again and stops making noise. Replace the belt.

Check the grounds, it could also be your ELD (Electronic Load Detecor) that's in the fuse box in the engine bay. Those guys go out occasionally as well.

7100(ish) RPM - as tone stated - and no speed limiter on the D17A2. I've had mine up to 128 on the autobahn outside of Stuttgart, GE before I had to slow down. There wasn't much left to the tach at that point, and I was going downhill, because my car was still an NA monster.

Ouch. That's not a secondary brake fluid reservoir, that's your clutch fluid reservoir. That being said, you can move it down a couple inches and it won't hurt anything.

^^^ Good advice. That way you can take your time with the motor and still have your car to putt around in during the build process.

Stock valves are fine if they are in good shape. No sense in replacing them. Andy made 489whp on his boost setup with stock valves.
