theorie's "this is why I'm always poor" 20B-FD build.

Another update...

While the car is stripped down, I'm also working on the interior. I decided to strip out all the sound deadening using dry ice. The plan is to paint the inside OR coat it with something like LizardSkin/QuietCoat. Not sure yet...









I've also started media blasting some parts. I've been using this old blast cabinet at a local machine shop. The glass window was almost completely frosted from years of use, so I was pretty much working blind.









Also did the rear diff cover...this is going to get modified to increase fluid capacity...

edit...think I fixed it. Hopefully you guys see photos now.

Works perfectly now, thanks

I have lizard skin (one jug of lizard skin and one jug of their ceramic composite heat layer) to put under the carpet in my FD. . . but since it doesn't run i can't tell you how effective it is yet

Will you be at DGRR in a few weeks (obviously the car won't be there unless you are working 32 hours a day, 11 days a week

I am either going to go with LizardSking + Carpet, or silver paint to match the exterior with no carpet (just floor mats).

No, I won't be able to make it to DGRR this year. I'm getting married on the 20th so I have to skip this year. I hope to have the car done for DGRR '14. though!

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper congrats!!!!! It's very, very, very rare when one of us finds a special someone that approves of a hobby where setting money on fire is more cost effective than FD projects
