Guest Seventy-six-s30 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I want more updates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMission Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 LoL - I live in Oregon, which means it rains, rains, rains, and rains some more all winter, so I've been hibernating really. I honestly haven't touched the car for about three months. I do have updates though - I've got two corbeau forzas ready to go in, just need to fabricate some mounts for them, plus got the front and rear fiberglass bumpers for it. Then it's just some paint on the hood, bumpers, and front valance, then I have to buy a couple things to get driving really: Tach and Speedo Exhaust ??? But, to be presentable, I need to buy the following - Wheels/Tires 1100 Fender Flares 250 Megan Coilovers 800 Adapter Tubes 250 Rear Spoiler 250 This weekend I'll be working on the brakes and looking at getting the interior done and seats started/fitted - I'll take some pics too. Gimme 3k and I'll speed it all right up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMission Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 I cleaned her up today... Things are moving along nicely. ZG Flares are Arriving Monday Odyssey PC680 is on it's way FG Bumpers are sanded down and ready for filler/bondo to clean them up Corbeau Seats - Driver's is on sliders and almost ready to bolt in. I need suspension, wheels, and tires... bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect240z Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) Awesome, Ill be doing my own build on my 70 240z when I finish fixing my house I just bought. 2 car garage that I carpeted from the old carpet in the house so I can sit comfortable on the ground. The color I was thinking of doing is almost the same color as yours. I'm using my motorcycle stock color. I'll upload a photo when I'm at a computer, it'll be blue from mt bike, or red from another hybridz owners 240, or maybe a gunmetal grey. Leaning towards the blue or red.

TheMission Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 I like all the colors but the red... I was originally looking at running the color of the lamborghini lp640, but went with a simpler and much cheaper paint option. This last weekend I was able to get the passenger seat mounted (with barely anything to spare). I'll try to get the driver's seat in and take some pics, although I still have them wrapped up in the bubble wrap. (Corbeau Forzas) The odyssey pc680 battery is in its home under the hatch plate near the fuel cell, but I still haven't got it secured in yet, but I'll work on that this week. The fiberglass bumpers, fender flares, hood, and front xenon valance are still waiting for paint, but I hope in the next few weeks I can get my painter friend to finish them all up and get them mounted up and the front valance lights wired up and good to go. Autometer SportComp electric tach and speedo should be on their way soon and wired up. Then it's just bit and pieces of interior stuff to work on, and cleaning up things here or there. My list is getting shorter of what I'm looking at picking up before I'm comfortable taking it out: Coilovers ZCC tubes and plates for the Coils PDK rear strut bar/harness bar Harnesses Wheels and Tires Exhaust System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMission Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Got the seats in today, plus the front grill on. Started her up and she ran decently, I had to tighten up the line to the clutch slave cylinder and a coolant line, but it pulled out of the garage and moved on it's own, which is a first. Once I get the new odyssey battery hooked up I'll take it to an exhaust shop and have the system fabbed up. (I'm waiting for the taylor master disconnect switch for the rear of the car in order to finish the battery wiring, plus the G-Force harnesses prior to driving it around) Here's some nice pics - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMission Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 I've been building up my list again, so it's up to another 20 items plus to do. It never seems to get close to ending. I've ordered up the consult connector and software for the diagnostic ability and ECU connect, which will help insanely with tweaking things and later upgrades as well. Here's a part of my current list, which never seems to get shorter. Not on it are the wheels/tires/coilovers and the modifications neccesary to make them all work. Ugh. Fill Bumpers /Sand / Re-prime Hand Sand Fender Flares / Prime Wire Battery / Install Master Disconnect Switch in Rear Wire Fan Controller Permanently Wire Turn Signals/HB LED light indicators in console Wire Consult Female Connector to ECU Measure /Mark Location for Roll Bar Harness Bar Location at 20 degrees below harness holes Remove Roll Bar Get Harness Bar Added to Roll Bar (Fabshopz?) Reinstall Roll Bar Mount Harnesses Paint Top Dash Plate/Install Plate Test Mount Rear Bumper Buy Shift Boot Install Shift Boot Plug in window switches Secure Center Console Install Carpet Install Side Kick Panels Install Shift Knob Install Tach Order Speedo / Install -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upon Consult Plug Arrival - Check Sensor Operation within specs Check / Adjust Timing Check Codes Install Front Valance/ Reinforce Install and Wire Front Signals/Marker Lights Install Hood / Hood Pins Install Front Bumper Install Exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
