Okay so I got another email from someone at beaks and they said they will get more tie bars on friday. I'm just going to let them keep my payment and I'll be getting a refund for the shipping costs since I have to wait. I also emailed the company I bought my mugen style lip from on ebay twice now with no reply from them. I paid for it on the 8th which means I should have got it from the 12th to the 19th. I'm hoping that it comes monday along with the 10000k Hid's. I dont know if I will like them but if I dont, I have plenty of friends that would take them.

Got my silver Benen Radiator Stay
The radiator is turned because I leaned on it to take a picture. Whoops.


Here are a couple recent pictures of the car

 

those crappy pictures arent doing your car any justice. get a good camera, and we can really see how nice your car looks. kk

 

sorry, camera phone lol

got my cam gear today


Here's a pic of the head gasket, rod bolts and some other random things


Still havent got my lip, It's been since the 8th that I paid for it. The company has ignored all three emails i have sent. Nor have they sent a refund.

 

Update:

Alright, after 4 emails and 2 voice mails to the company I ordered the lip from I got an email with a tracking number for the lip. I paid for it on the 8th and it was shipped on the 24th. Imagine that.

Received my OEM Flywheel Bolts yesterday and also ordered the 75.5mm P29 pistons, piston rings, OEM Timing belt, OEM Tensioner and OEM Water Pump. For those of you that don't know the JDM D15b is basically a vx block(Which is a b7 block with z6 rods and a crank that has a lower displacement due to the shorter deck height) with a z6 head that has a slightly more aggressive cam. So that's how you figure out the correct parts to order.

I'm closing in on all the parts I need. Just an ecu, head studs, clutch, cam and valve train components.

I'm leaning towards an exedy stage 1 clutch? I'm not sure but I know they make good clutches.

 

wow dude you are going to town on that project lookin good!

 

Yeah I'm tryin haha. Pictures tomorrow of my newly recieved window visors and Password:JDM tow hooks.

 

What are you going to be doing for tuning?

 

Well the closest place that does tuning is about 20 miles from my house. I know they do all kinds of tuning, all motor being one of them. I need to give them a call about what I'm going to do because I dont really know yet. That is the only area I dont know much about. I was planning on just getting a P28 and have them chip it, program it for the D15b base map and then tune it. What would you suggest?

 

In the recent couple days I got my Password:JDM front and rear tow hooks. Only installed the rear since I'm replacing my bumper support up front today so I dont want to drill twice. Keep in mind I plan on getting Gold w/polished lip Drag rims and a Gold Beaks bar on the way.



I also got the Mugen style Poly front lip, installing when I finish painting the bumper today.

Ordered the Exedy stage 1 clutch kit and ARP Head studs. I'm unsure about whether to order a flywheel or just have mine resurfaced.

70mm? Just seems like that's a little overkill IMO. But, I might be wrong.

I guess you are skipping the bisimoto cam, and just going with the crower?
