[XpL0d3r]

Petey I'll let ya know how keeping my same y7 dizzy goes... later tonight

Sady and I are halfway done with my vtec swap... head is off right now...

 

[Partizan]

Good luck with the swap man. Kinda low miles for it to blow..no?

 

[oddeb707]

cool s**t petey

that z6 tranny is gonna feel way better that that old y7.

what ecu are you using p28?

 

[apekd]

I say just do what you wanted to with the bay and the tuck and then get the motor in there. worry about boosting it when you can afford to let it sit for a while and have work done. no need to hurry it. Good luck!

 

[matt96ex]

sucks about the Y7 but oh well. I'm sure you're over it.

Good luck with the swap!

Hey all. Today was Eventful.

started around 11am today and pulled the car in between the lift:

Then started to unbolt some things, unplug parts of the harness, take off the strut tower bar, etc:

We really needed an extension for that one bolt

an hour and a half later or so:

Now:

Yes! I love seeing pics.

My coupe went in the shitter today as well.

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

You can paint the engine bay now!

 

[Genuine Rolla]

Thats what I was thinking, but I don't have any EBP left over.

I was thinking of painting it gray... or maybe just a fresh coat of white..I dunno..

 

[s_crowley 17]

^ gray.. not white.. imo... goodluck on the build

 

[pmac193]

Nice, good progress!

What about Flat black?

I think that'd look pretty bad ass.

The valve cover is painted blue. Just gotta polish the letters VTEC more tomorrow.
