Modifed my JMF block off plate to accept a AN fitting via a 1/2" NPT. Milled the hole, then machined a fitting to fit and tig'd the fitting into place

Found another grey silver headliner for a non sunroof and am switching it out for my sunroof headliner in my car. I dyed the headliner black should look alot better then the old one.

 

Made some more progress on the cage today almost done heres a sneak peak

 

So with the 5 or 6 projects going on at the same time I thought I would post some interior teaser pics

 

Some people have been asking what the fittings I made are for so here is some more info and pics to clarrify that.

I'm going to be running coolant directly to my head this year so instead of just welding some AN fittings on I decieded to make something that can not only be switched to a different head but also if the AN fitting is damaged that too can be switched out

This is the timing belt side fitting and is a tolorance pressed in fitting


This fitting replaces the stock thermosat housing


This is the timing belt side fitting once it was pressed in the head

 

Wow I remeber your car when it was grafite grey and you had that mag feature. Didn't you have a dogbox in this car driving on the street? Definitely one of the sickest street talons of all time

 

Yes that was me and I'm hoping to still drive the car on the street with the auto Power windows, interior, glass, headlights etc

 

8sec auto 1g/2g are old news lol

 

I know weak sause! Atleast I can still drive it on the street for fun

 

Here is a fixture we did up to allow us to drill out bearing for use with aluminum rods. For anyone that doesn't know you need to run a dowel in aluminum rods to keep the bearings from spinning.

Here is a stock 6 bolt rod that was machined flat


Then machined the rod out and pressed in a hardened insert for the drill to ride in




Here is the final version done and tested

 

Well I pulled the plug this week and parts are ordered things should start coming together soon
Want to say a big thank you to everyone including Myles at ER for a Honda guy your okay Jeff and Lucas and Arron at ER, Tony and his dad, Corey at Brake Man, Steve at SJM, Mike at ETS, Justin at Comp, and Kevin Kiggly, Will at Supertech, Ziggy at RTM and anyone I missed!

 

Came to a depressing realization that even though I started this project way over weight compared to the guys I'm racing against that between my cage and trans I added another 200lbs on to my car

 

damn. You're definitely going to want to drop some weight out of that pig. A little off topic, but what were the specs on those OZ racing wheels that you had on the car when it was the graphite color?

 

Cool project! Whats the stall on that convertor? Its tough to go 8's and have the convertor like street duty. BR shootout this year?
