+1 x2

 

I'm trying guys, got a bit distracted by getting back into range time and the gtx tweaks, basement project.

Hopefully banging out the gtx suspension swap so I can really enjoy it for the rest of winter/years etc... Then I can get into it. Trying to stick to priorities is a pain in the ****

 

I know the drill... It's not like I'm breezing through my mods at the moment either.

 

I am enormously disappointed by the lack of progress here. April 23rd is sort of right around the corner...

 

Get off my back man!!!!!

Anyways... made some progress on a VQ project. Notice that it isn't THE VQ project.
I needed a coffee table for the basement.... so:





Mostly stuff is cleaned. Bit more work to the block, then I secure pistons/rods to block and place glass on.

 

Was that spare block junk?

 

Supposed to have a spun bearing. For getting it so cheap... coffee table was perfect use for it

 

Splittime i envy you i always wanted to do the VQ35 swap in a miata. I saw BEGI started to do it a few years back but never they never finished. I think this is a better swap then a rotary and v8.

 

Envy me once I'm actually finished

 

really i wanna see!!

 

damn cant wait till this build is done..

 

For each day you sit on your butt, I'm going to melt one of these in Sara's kiln:

 

Im trying to sell the GTX to get remotivated.... wish me luck... or buy my GTX to help me get back on task.

 

Did a few more minutes work on the VQ Coffe table
Now to find someone who has the damn special socket to get the crank out and It's basically done.

 

Requesting thread title change:

Split's VQ coffee table build.

 

Gimmie some ******* baby steps. I've gotten lazy :P

 

Splitime what tool do you need for the crankshaft, I might have it.

 

I'm very tempted at this point

 

Honestly its a bolt style I've never seen. I think it might be a Star socket? Or is that the exhaust manifold studs... blah. Why couldn't they just use a normal bolt for the mains dammit

 

easy way to get it off being that you will never need it again.

Take the Fae method and grind the **** out of it and hope for the best.
