Re: My White Hatch
Are you happy with the mishimoto fans, and e fan conversion in general? I've had one of their fan shroud kits and conversion stuff in storage for a while and just haven't got around to trying it. I'm hoping it's not another mod I have to find out the hard way that I don't like lol.

The fan is good. Not too loud. I use a Derale relay switch with temp probe between rad fins. Just takes up a lot of space in the engine bay cuz the shroud adds thickness. Will have to make the fans easy to remove if you do any future accessory belt maintenance. I could tuck my wires down lower but I just put them on top in case I ever need to yank the radiator out.

Re: My White Hatch
Also to make the rad fit properly... The rad support sides should either be trimmed a bit or hammered in to fit lower pegs into the rubber mounting bushings.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Been busy and haven't had time to update in awhile. sooo...
Here goes!:
This damn oil filter didn't even work. Guess I ordered wrong one. Liked the pic tho.
Me at a Word Up event in Stockton, CA just watching awkwardly.
And the next 2 days of work begins! Glowing parts of awesomeness.
Parts List:
T3 LCA, tension rods, PS knuckle and tie rods, RCAs, strut tube spacer/gland nut
Cusco camber plates, tension rod bracket brace
TRD sway bar w/ TRD bushings, 8kg springs, front 5-way adjustables short strokes, rear 8-way adjustable short strokes
Was stuck here until someone told me I should turn the steering to shorten the rack!
Spider-web caliper suspension.
Really dirty.
Needed a new tool. Next day I picked up a plumbers wrench as recommended by local 8-6ers.
Last time I would see these beauties outside of the strut casing
BEEFY! T3 setup.
Sad to say I've had this sway bar for ~3 years. Been sitting pretty in the bag until now.
Rears I put on a few weeks later. This was Dec 27th.
Plans for 2014: Looking forward to the new year!
Front subframe rigid collars. These are not the spoon units.
http://youtu.be/zWyUD6UXfog
These will hopefully be put to good use on a build.
These ITBs too will either be on a build or on the 86.
And the carbon drive shaft in the background from gaijin_rokurunner will go on as well.

PHOTO UPDATE
Drove down to Socal to pick up this Varis carbon fiber hood.
Needed a new clear job badly. This was January.
Not perfect but it works for now

Re: My White Hatch
Dash cap install...
I think this was 2013 still...
So far, I think I liked my cloth cover better... This cap bends in the sunlight so it needs to be held down with velcro or some kind of adhesive.
I just placed it on the dash and secured it with a few pieces of velcro but its not really enough to keep it from warping.

Re: My White Hatch
Got this Ukiya86 rad cooling plate from EP Importers.
Check out his site or hit him up on Facebook for your part needs from Japan!
Lithium battery install...
Something wrong with the rear strut bar....
Removal of panels and inspection....
HOLY HELL... last owner had this held it with self-tapping screws... -_-
Drilled larger holes and mounted proper hardware...
Swapped this out from T3.

Re: My White Hatch
Got these doors from member ViperVern on here.
Really a shame he parted out his hatch.
Moved the solex locks over.
Needed to mod the locks a bit due to the thicker FRP door skin.
They work ok with the standard door panels.
Installed old zenki lip that I've had off the car for 1year+ now...
Swapped rear seats out for a set I've had in storage for over a year...

Most current pics of the car.
StraitupD's modern zenki side decals being applied.
Got a set of white and black to compliment the doors.

I love what you did with the decals!
Finally, is that drain plug magnetic? It doesn't look like the OEM plug on my 4AC; is the one for a 4AG different?
Thanks and keep up the great work! ^_^
Re: My White Hatch
Thanks!
The drain plug is the one that was on the car when I got it. It's not magnetic.

Awesome build. Do you ever worry about getting T-boned with your carbon doors?
Re: My White Hatch
Thanks! Yes a cage with door bars is next on my list. Maybe the beginning of next year.

Thanks for the kind words!
A photo update...
I think this was an event from back in February.
Car understeered like crazy hah.
Got head back from OST a while back.
It has TODA 272/9mm exhaust cams and shimless 1SZ buckets.
Work on the 2nd engine will have to wait for some time though.
Got Tomei connecting rods for future but....
One looks like this...
A few from 8/6 day meet.
Got these in from Ep Importers.
Check out their site and contact them for your Japan parts needs.
My next post will hopefully be about these.
AE manual rack with A/C retention and cruise delete.
