Old Vr-4

[G]

I never started a build thread for my other vr-4. So i'm starting a thread for it. No particular order just random things I make progress on as well as parts I day dream about /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/uhh.gif

New Nardi wheel installed with JDM hub & 15mm special order spacer. It moves the wheel the perfect distance from the stalks as they tend to get in the way during spirited driving.

Earls Solo bleeder installed on the new slave.

Mitsu longer slave rod. Not much longer than the bendix/ japan unit. I think the dsm rod is even shorter?

Found some sweet high temp silicone vacuum caps. Don't use the crappy rubber ones you find at auto parts stores. They don't last.

Fresh oil change.

JDM golden key. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Very nice so far. You're right about the rubber plugs. I bought a pack and one lasted a few months on my intake manifold before it cracked causing a vacuum leak.

I'm so not surprised by the pink HKS oil filter. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The gold key is interesting, I like the rounded off Mitsu diamonds.

 

[G]

Exactly, they look fine installed because you can't see the cracks until you squeeze them. This after only a few months. They basically dry rot in the hot engine bay. Chinese rubber. Well no one will see the filter installed unless you get under the car /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif and I have not found a use for the pink vacuum caps yet. They don't seem to fit anything under the hood. Though the green, black & light blue ones fit a lot of things perfectly.

I've never had an issue with hitting the stalks while autocrossing my car with the standard steering wheel spacing. And that's pretty spirited. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

 

[Wizardawd]

My store sells the rubber caps as well as an assortment of the silicone caps.

WTF, G? Ain't nobody care about your green vacuum caps and pink oil filter. We want to see the Hypertune intake manifold and OS Giken twin plate! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[G]

Wopper, you must have girly man hands /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif were you wearing gloves? GST, I'm a baller on a budget just like everyone else /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

 

[turbowop]

I'd like to think I have pretty normal hands. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/keke.gif Do you have sausage fingers? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hsugh.gif

 

[Jesus_Negros]

So what does the car look like?

Sounds like DSM mentality to me...

 

[JNR]

Damn, those must be some toxic caps! :lol:

 

[G]

No way man, I spend big $ on usdm hallman boost controllers. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[turdb0]

I have a Momo hub, then I got a NRG quick release, and then I couldn't even reach the signal light stalk any more. ahha....





So I'm playing with the combination of parts I've got which is a Works Bell hub, with Works Bell hub adapter (30mm)... but I think I need to just order a NRG short hub and maybe a 1/2" hub adapter to get the perfect distance.

 

[G]

Bruh, you driving with your chin? I think 15mm is perfect and wouldn't go any more than that.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif @ all these dudes driving shitbox Galants looking like T-Rex

 

[turdb0]

No man, just "lean back, lean back.."

 

[G]

The spacer I added is this section here in red. Otherwise the distance without it is stock.

Turd, I have the e39a specific works bell hub fs nib if you need one.

 

[G]

New hood hinge installed. Got tired of the clackity clack clack clack.

 

[strokin4dr]

I need that same hinge. Where can I find one? Price?
