Build Thread?
-
I wonder who's gonna finish their build first? my m50 is laying on my lawn waiting to go to the machine shop yet.
-
What do you have to have done to it?

the wheels are nice i buddy of mine had them on his harlequin golf last year they are reasonably light and solid
-
Thanks Ryan! The wheels on the white car? I like them, and they are in perfect shape.
-
He means the snowflake reps;) was that harlequin at Scooters last year? If so it looked great. Were they all polished faces with each wheels painted a different color between the spokes? And Ben, do you know what wheels the white car is currently rocking? I likes them;)
-
yes it was at scooters, ever show that car went to last year is got a trophy silly VW's

Got some parts from kurt this weekend, some random trim, a set of ellipsoids, an ix booster and some other small stuff. At this point I am just trying to figure out how far to go with the motor rebuild.
-
How far should I go with this motor re-build? Do I really need to do the main and crank bearings? or is that just extra money and time and work for something that really isn't a wear item anyway? Same question with piston rings, I would assume piston rings would be a decent idea, but is it really needed? I know I need to do a valve job and an MLS Gasket and ARP studs, because I am going to boost prep the motor while I am in there anyway, and if I can source s50 cams those would go in at the same time I think but who knows anymore. I picked up a laptop the other day after selling my desktop to TJ, so that was a good amount of money that could have been used in the swap, but you kind of need a computer to sell things efficiently, and realOEM does not work on my phone
All in all, progress is being made (kind of)
-
I guess, if I were in the same position (which I will be eventually as I rebuild the wrx motor), if you have the cash and the part isn't crazy expensive, i'd replace it.. The peace of mind + knowing you're hoping for big HP #s = I'd replace just about any moving part that you can.
-
Good price? It's almost another 600 dollars lol.
-
Odd, I had thought it was a ton more.
-
Soo....

Picked up those bad boys for my pops!

For what car? The porcshe?
