Alrighty so those of you not up to date on my project im doing a complete makeover on my 89 t2... t78, big streetport, wolf3d, coilovers, fc2000 front, full braided system, 890/1600, supernow! billet rails, bla bla bla... anywho it's sorta died down because fedex lost my motor on its way back from getting ceramic coated at JHB Performance, so since ive basically been waiting to get my check from fedex before i do anything the project sorta stalled (i think its been over 2 years total now)



But on sunday the project restarts, gotta travel down to virginia and finally get a motor for the bad boy. And just by chance the motor im buying was built for the same turbo and with pretty much identical internals as i was going to be building my motor with....hell its even painted the same way i was going to be painting mine. so its like a once in a lifetime thing.



But yea once i have it i just need to wait till my new driveway to my new garage is paved so i can bring my car home and get started on installing it all. So hopefully this winter she will finally come alive!



For those who dont know my car here's a quick pic, the rest are in my gallery thing on this forum.

But yea after this i only have to buy my Tein coilovers with edfc, my intercooler piping, line lock, catch cans, water injection, fog lights, e-fan, RB sway bars, the rest of the fc 2000 kit (RE sideskirts and RE rear diffuser). And then the car will be ready to go, then probably next spring i'll begin planning out or working on the interior. so hopefully next year ill get her to 100%.

and thats only some of the parts, i made a *really* big order right after these pics were taken https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png.



kevin.

Did FEDEX find your parts? Or did you get a check for the proper amount?

keep up the good work and dont give up! nice car!

markings on the water pump indicate you have been humping it.

Are you buying One320B's motor? If you are I am right around the street from him. You should swing by and have a beer or two. Shoot me a PM if you want to kev.



And good luck, the car is still amazing.

Fedex declared my parts gone for good like a month or more ago. But i found out some more, very detailed info on the situation. and hopefully will be getting my claims waiver soon so that fedex can start processing my check and give me my money.



for the time being im spending my coilover money on a new motor.



kevin.

thats too small, i hump the whole housing https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png.





Yea actually I am, didnt know you were so close to him. I'll be arriving in VA sometime around 9am. gimme a pm if youre one of the few people awake at 9am on a sunday.



kevin.

Your bed looks like a Xmas wetdream......



Im actually drooling

HELLO SETH, COME IN WITH THE MILK!

Looking pretty good. That will be one hell of a car when you are done.

I wish i could drive out to NJ and take a picture of our cars together! LOL. too sweet!

I am about 3 hours away from him, give or take 30 mins. I am actually going to be in Towson this Sunday morning, I completely forgot about it. My friend is having a party, so I will be recovering from a hangover. You should cut through Waldorf,MD to see how much of a crap hole the place is.



The car is gonna be a monster kev. I will come up to jerzee once you get it done, as long as I am still living in SOMD.

Where in VA? If you're in Richmond, I'll buy ya a bloody mary.

glad to see that your car is still underway and not ditched for another project

damn, 2 years, its been that long!?!? i remember when you were pulling it apart and getting it painted.

what if that milk is spoiled?

then leave it outside

I'll be driving out to sevenstock or whatever its called now next year, as well as to the one in indianapolis. I'd love a picture with your car especially once i get the sideskirts and rear diffuser. Mad props to your car tho, sucks everyone always thinks mine is yours, no intention on that my g/f picked out the color and **** and i just liked the bumper https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png.





yea time flies by, i got it back from rob last august. I miss cruising around in it, that thing was soooo much fun compared to my n/a.



kevin.

Hey you should make it out on Saturday if you can. I guess Billy failed to tell you That we are having a party/cook-out. Were going to have a keg and lots of food!

he mentioned it to me, i really wish I could make it however i work on saturday from 7-5 and i am the head tech at my shop so time off is difficult. I was trying to leave at 12 on saturday to make it down to you guys on saturday evening but it didnt pan out unfortunately. I love rotary events https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png.



he did say hell show me his rx8 so that should be cool altho i wish i could see his project 7's.



kevin.

Lol, I never knew you made a post about the trip, lol... yea.. we'll have some car guys here on sat, i'm in the garage trying to get the floor sealed before you get down here as i've been putting it off for the last few weeks.



The 7s are about another 1 and half south of where you'll be coming to get the motor, lol... I'm sure the last thing u need is another 3 hours added to your trip. I'm sure we'll have food and **** left over for you when you and ur gf arrive sunday morning...



I talked to my neighbor where the 8 is in his garage til mine is done to be sure he's home sunday... he said he'll be there, so we can go over there.. u can check out his lotus as well...



give me a call when ur on ur way...just so i can keep tabs in case u get lost in the NOVA hell...

those bumpers are awesome! im getting mine very soon, to go with my full re amemiya widebody, but i wont have the money for it unti i sell my fd.

Rotaryturtle... we can only have one RE wide body in VA ok? geez... how can i be different when your here https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png at least your in southern VA and im in NOVA... that helps...



we should have all the RE Amemiya FCs get together someday and do a photo shoot...





PS> just messin w/ u turtle...be kinda cool if we cruised to a show or something when u get ur kit...

sorry bout that.....we should get together for a show or something, that would be cool. but before i can do anything, i need to finish my engine, and replace my brakes. right now its kinda on the back burner until i can get a reliable daily driver. every car i have is dead, except my fd, which is pending sale.

Lol, i know how that goes... note my sig... anytime u start to really build rx vehicles...u better have a DD... but i guess thats true for anything right now.



My roomate wants to bring his supra to the next level, but has no dd... so its rough...

Yea unfortunately i actually have stuff to do sunday night too, otherwise id take a road trip to see 'em lol. Unfortunately my g/f cant make it so my buddy is coming down...jwteknix may have seen his project thread. But anywho, any leftovers would be awesome as i know ill be starving.



I'll give you a call around 7-8ish as by then i should be relatively close to virginia (aimin g for 9-9:30am)



thanks again for all the positive comments from everyone.



kevin.

kev- If you wanna swing through Waldorf, I should be around. I decided not to go to towson now, as I need to work instead of partying. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png It's actually not really out of your way I think. Just rte.17, which is 94 miles long!!!!

damn, hit some crazy construction traffic on 78 but other then that made it home in one piece with the motor still intact, got some nice pics and saw some nice cars. all in all it was well worth...considering moving to virginia now lol very nice area by one320b.



kevin.

Glad you made it back in time... next time you gotta make it to the party and have ur gf w/ u, lol..or at least somebody so it wouldnt be so lonely of a drive..



I'll post some pics up of the cars in the driveway.



FYI, i actually found the receipt later today after you left of the parts kit for the rebuild ..it was in my tool chest of all places, so I'll scan and send that your way too...

Here are some pics from the day... none of the motor going in the car, lol...sorry...



Kevin made it down during my garage reconstruction, at least the floor cured enough to put the hoist on it and get the motor in for him.



Thanks for making the trip down kevin, your welcome back anytime but we'll need to come up there someday...



Here are some pics... I've got some better ones of the 8 i can send you later as well...

Yea man it was fun, especially seeing that lotus, you definitely are in a nice area too.



yea just scan in the receipt or whatever and email it to me or something: teknicsiny2g@aol.com or if you can upload it somewhere or whatever, its all good.



def. have to come down and hang out again.



thanks again cant wait to get it running,

kevin.
