lol yea i like the JDM rear, looks real good. Deciding if i want to get one or not will see. Theres actually no meaning behing it, its just a nick name for the car. Awhile ago me and my friends starting calling it the "Junk Box" Kinda like how STM has "Ricer" and Buschur with the "BAD BISH" just a funny nick name. Now everyone goes by it around here, and a lot of people know about it, so getting the plate will top it off lol

One of the rods I sent in for refurbishing came back worse than it was when I sent it in. New one should be here tomorrow or Friday. Be a week or two on a replacement bearing that was taken out in the fitting of the rod. Ill be too busy to get to the engine anyways but I was hoping to have had it in the car last Monday and ready to ship out for turbo kit and cage before the 7th but now I'm not sure if that will happen.

Rear end will hopefully be here the first of next week along with some replacement rear end links since I cant get the stock end links off the stock bar. I'm really starting to loose the drive to get this thing done.

Thanks I was hoping to have some cool ish up from my man Fathouse but keep running into snags.



I got all of the suspension as close to final adjustment as I can without an engine in it. Brakes bled, Shep rebuilt reared installed(He's the ****ing man btw!) After that is when everything went downhill. I finally got a chance to install my AWD motorsports DS I bought back during the Black Friday deals. It doesn't fit and hopefully wont be a big deal to get it taken care of. The carrier is hitting the tunnel and only seats on one side of the mounting tabs. The other is almost an inch away from the chassis. Measuring from a stock carrier it seems really close dimensionally but it seems the one side is longer.

The engine was supposed to be together this weekend thanks to my man Tommy B but I got another bad rod from Michigan.

You're right, **** does happen and usually that's how I view things and just move on. This is two mistakes on 1 rod, I should have just built an AL rod engine !!!
