[InfamousJesseJames]

Not sure if its going blue anymore...I am kinda liking the flat black, but if I do paint it blue it wont be for awhile.

[Just Droo]

The flat looks the tits man. I'm ordering my lamps today, so you'll get yours soon.

Rob drilling the hole


Putting the new flywheel on


Other things we did today not pictured is we attached the clutch and the tranny to the motor. Pulled the oil pan to reseal the pan. Stealth Custom Fab Jon also cut my brake pedal drilled the holes for my master cylinder and was a major help along with Rob (Mestizo) helping me do all this.

Stay tuned tomorrow for the final finished product...

Sorry this is late but we got the 5 speed done. It took 2 days to complete the process. We took it out for a spin after we finished sunday I did my first clutch kick in first gear doing a drift nut in the street. I liked it. We went out the next night to our spot and I made a few runs and the car handled really well. I am liking this clutch kick. Car runs a lot better and the response is unbelievable. I wanna give a big thanks to Rob and Jon for all your help in those two days and the running round to get misc parts and what not. Your knowledge and time was awesome. Thanks so much you guys!!! And thanks Andrew for help putting stuff back in. I owe you guys!!! Here are the last of the pics courtesy of Andrew...

Everything back together and installed with the 5 speed

[Jonnie Fraz]

Glad I could help buddy!

[Dkslong]

Lookin good man.I have no updates for my car other than I found a crack on my tranny near the drain plug very small I gotta get it welded b4 winter><

[InfamousJesseJames]

Well I picked up a Stealth Custom Fab Power Brace from Jonnie Fraz. This thing is amazing, and I know it will do its job right and make a big difference.

Here is a pick of the Stealth Custom Fab Power Brace:



Here is the Tension Rod brackets off my S14:




Here is the brace pre-mounted on the ground:



Here is the brace mounted up in the car:



Just out of the drive way I can feel the difference with the brace in the front end. Taking corners with normal daily driving you can also feel a big difference in how the car handles and the response at the steering wheel. I cant wait to try this bad boy out for reals!!!

Thanks again Jon and Rob for all the help and jokes!!!!

[InfamousJesseJames]

Well just a lil update...I finally got my car painted. I decided on the Hot Rod Flatz Midnight Blue...it is an awesome color I must say. Well here is some pics of the car...more to come after I get my new kit and get it installed...

[InfamousJesseJames]

So awhile ago I invested in a Version Select type 1 aero kit. After I received my kit I found they sent me the wrong front bumper. After consulting with VS they sent me a new front bumper and after a long wait I finally got all the peices I ordered.

This last weekend Rob and I fitted the kit to the car...now I just have to wait for the paint guy to paint the kit. Here are some before and after pics.
