91' LX Hatch

[greasy]

Sounds kick ass! 8500 on motor!

 

[Mr. SBF]

Cage is painted and headers are on though I may have to run open headers for a little while...:damnit: The collector on the passenger side is where it is supposed to be but the driverside is way off to make it through the crossmember and make it to wide for the x too mount up...

My buddy had this exact same problem a month ago only difference is his are 351 based Kooks... Really glad I did not pay full price or I'd be real pist about it. I will either eventually modify the crossmember and make some offsets to make the x-pipe work. Or I may just do what my buddy just did on his, which he cut the collector down and added 5" Vibrant mufflers and turndowns to keep it a little quiter and to stop it from melting the crossmember bushings.

That sucks that the X is not lining up.

Can you not fab up the X to work? Maybe cut the slants on the X before it hits the crossover and add some extension pieces, to get it to the proper width.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

i bet those are manual trans headers, we ran into lots of auto headers trying to find "cheap" headers for Jbigs 85 GT

i think he would have "saved" about 600$ if he had just bought brand new in the begining

it could be yer X pipe is for a manual, too many kooky things with these heaps

I could but wanted to see what it does open headers anyways and I am "Really Jonesing" to make some passes so it can wait. I'll get to it eventually. The crossmeber would need to be custom which I could make a tubular one and just add some 8" long offsets to make the connection is what l'll prolly end up doing or just fab a whole new stainless x. The one I have is mild steel which is the only X kit kooks offers. Also depending on what headers I get for the other motor I may use it on that, it worked fine on my buddies car.

The X I have came off a c4 and I have the kooks headers that went with it but they have seen better days... I did put the new tubes on the passenger side next to the old ones I have and the bends were identicle. Wish that I would have did that on the driver side...

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

it was only the drivers side that varied on the sets we had the fun of fucking with

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

MAC 1 3/4" manual header on left, MAC auto on right (black)

Hmm... could be though I didn't see different ones for manual or auto listed by Kooks when I was looking to buy new ones maybe I wasn't looking at the fine details. I did just go back and look at the guy's I got these from parts list and he was also running a c4.

No biggie started it today everything works and sounds Killer so I will order the 3.5" Kooks stainless turndowns tonight.

 

[Mr. SBF]

Painted the floors black, permanently mounted the yellow top and the battery box, shortened up some wires as well as moved a few. Made up a new harness for the autometer LEDs for the gauges. Will have the dash/gauges and the center console in tomorrow.

 

[Mr. SBF]

Got the Kooks 6" long stainless turndowns and the ASP Manual brake adapter today.

 

[Mr. SBF]

Dash is in, still need to get black carpet and more paint for the door panels. I made the gauge cluster(poor mans florida5.0), the heater gauges and the shifter delete plate.

 

[greasy]

Looking great!

 

[Mook]

Bit too much green for my taste, but the rest looks great.

 

[Mr. SBF]

Looking great!

Thanks!

Bit too much green for my taste, but the rest looks great.

Thanks! I had to go with LED's because at night with the regular autometer bulbs I could barely see the numbers on the silver gauges with the numbers being black. Wish I had went with black gauges, where the numbers are white and easy to see at night...oh well I will do black on the next one.

 

[Mr. SBF]

It's a shame that [MENTION=5]Mook[/MENTION] doesn't have enough ball's to permanently ban his ass!:bash: He let's him run a muck like he own's this place out of fear that he might say something negative about the site...:rant: I guess we could all just do whatever we want cause he won't do shit about it. Just saying [MENTION=5]Mook[/MENTION]...

Seriously it'd be like if you saw cockroach where you live and didn't try squashing it or call an exterminator...

Slim probably has a roach motel in his parents basement:xzbit:

 

[Mr. SBF]

Oh hey there fat fuck. Do yourself a favor and keep ur bullshit in the parking lot. The parking lot is ment for one thing trash talking. Members rides no. Maybe a little constructive criticism never hurt anyone . But the shit u keep saying is dumb as fuck.

@mr.sbf sorry ur thread keeps getting fucked up. Badass build though. My buddy had the exact same color hatch. Looks awesome

Thank's Gimpy, l love the deep emerald jewl green and think I know which hatch you're talking about. A Lx with a blower, chrome beadlocks and a chute?

FagboyNotSoSlim is a fat fucking douche bag for sure. He really makes me not want to post my other build I've been working on...

I agree that color is fantastic. Love it

No it was a lx but had a 03 04 cobra swap with a turbo. Complete street car.

Post it up if u would like. I'd love to see it.

 

[Mr. SBF]

Welp, I just ordered the Kirkey Pro race seat, matching Black Tweed cover, Holcomb Motorsports Kirkey adj. floor mount with upper main hoop mount, Black G-Force camlock 5 point harness and some weld in harness tabs
$520 dollars later and I still need the passenger set up to match...:roflwtf:

Thread cleaned up. Sorry I didnt have the balls to see your request earlier. Next time, drop me a PM please

 

[Mr. SBF]

Lol thanks Mook!

 

[Mr. SBF]

Picked up 6'x5' automotive black carpet for $15 @ Menards and the seat cover, g-force harness and tabs came in. Still waiting on the seat and mounting bracket to come in. I'll put the carpet in today.

 

[Mr. SBF]

Installed the manual brake and put the carpet in. I couldn't do it in one piece but it still turned out pretty good! Used 3m spray adhessive to glue it down. Need some black floor mats cause that carpet wouldn't last to long without them. The seat came in, still waiting on the seat mounting bracket though. I have no tracking # on it so I will be calling Holcomb Monday it's been a week.

Need to order some sfi padding for the cage as well as do some touch ups on the cages paint from installing the interior... Once I get the seat bracket I just need to take it by my buddies shop and get an alignment done and it's ready for some street hits and then the track. I put the stock seat in today and tested the stiff ass manual brakes with a footbrake 60' holeshot

Nice car! Looks great!
