CajunKenny's Build Thread

[SupraRon]

Hey Kenny, the covers look great. I would personally re-polish the ribs though. I think they would look even better. :thumbup:

 

[CajunKenny]

Thanks Ron. I think I'm going to run them the way they are for now and see how they look with everything else around them. Plus, I'm just plain tired of working on them. I'm making my last push here to get this thing back on the road. I'm looking at firing her up this weekend. If all goes well of course...

 

[grimreaper]

looks good ken!

Not happy about that hose... it will live at 190*+ 95% of its life. I had something similar when i did my setup and Jetjock stepped in to nudge me in the right direction... aeroquip or bust dude (yes there are others that will handle the temp but at similar costs to aeroquip).
A lot easier to switch it when the hose hasnt had oil run through it too!

 

[CajunKenny]

Hey grim. Thanks for stopping by!

Yeah, I'm pulling the other stuff out and installing the Aeroquip. I was under the same logic: It'll live at 190* most of the time so why do I need 300*?!?! But then my cautious side kicked in and I bought the good stuff.

 

[CajunKenny]

The first valve cover is installed. I forgot to loctite the bolts so I'll have to do that. But this is how it's looking so far.

Hell yea... Kenny that looks nice as shit.:bigthumb:

 

[CajunKenny]

Thanks Carter!


Ok. Here's both of them on.

 

[GrKBooSt]

wow, thats gorgeous!! can't wait for the finish result.. If i kept my 7m i'd model my car after yours..

 

[CajunKenny]

Thanks bro! I can't wait for the finished result either!! :biglaugh:

 

[carter]

A master piece in the works

 

[supramk3speed]

Damn! That looks really good!

looks good ken, shame your going to be coverthing it all up once everything else is installed.

 

[CajunKenny]

Damn! That looks really good!

Thank you!

Well, until I switch to COP anyway.

 

[GC89]

This is in my future as well, you going with Is300 coils or something else?

 

[SupraRon]

Oh yeah Kenny. That looks great. Glad I didn't talk you out of changing them!

 

[CajunKenny]

This is in my future as well, you going with Is300 coils or something else?

Yep. IS300, GS300, and MK4 N/A COP's are all the same. I found a set from a wrecked IS300 with 40k on it. I almost snatched them up; but, decided to pass for now. He wanted $180 shipped for all three.

Oh yeah Kenny. That looks great. Glad I didn't talk you out of changing them!

Thanks Ron. I still think I like them a little better with polished tops and cast sides. Oh well...they're on there now! He he...

 

[SupraRon]

I hear ya man. Sometimes you just have to settle. Plus you could always go back to them later on.

That's pretty costly for the coils. You should be able to get a better deal than that.

So when is the beast getting started?

 

[92nsx]

I forget. What turbo are you running again? Also things are looking good!

 

[djordan97]

jt 62 is what turbo he's running.

 

[CajunKenny]

That's pretty costly for the coils. You should be able to get a better deal than that.

Yep, the search continues for coils...

As for when she'll fire up......hopefully by this weekend. What stinks is that I'm on call this week so that could mess everything up!

I forget. What turbo are you running again? Also things are looking good!

Yep...JT62. And Thanks!

Well, I ordered a Shine Auto Project TypeII Lip on Friday. I called them today and I should have it by the end of the week!

The rest of my fittings finally arrived today. Woo Hoo! Now I can finish her up!
