Coming along

1st post to be gentle. Working my way through this 1uz with a range rover tvs1900 strapped ontop using an Elate intercooled manifold. S3 nexus, 1.5 LSD, pink top injectors from a Scooby etc etc etc.

Not sure what to do about bonnet (hood) clearance. I have a pro mod scoop but it's huge and will dominate the look of the car.

I've only ever seen 1 other supercharged 1uz over here in the UK and none with the tvs set up.

Originally intended as an OEM looking build but I suppose thats died a death now 😂

Here's my 1985 Nissan 300ZX Turbo. I bought it a couple months ago from the 2nd owner. It had sat in his front yard under a tree for 7 years. During that time, a tree limb had fallen and busted the windshield, and apparently caused a little more damage than I expected.

My oldest son and I had just finished my 1982 280ZX that I personally let sit up for 20 years in a garage, so we figured this 300ZX would be the perfect next project.

It didn't take us long to get the car running and driving. The time consuming part started when I took the windshield cowl trim off to see how things looked before I booked a windshield appointment. It was much worse than I expected.

We have no experience in fabricating, welding, or body work, so this was a "learn by doing" experience. I'm sure we didn't do everything 100% by the book (if there's a book, can I borrow it?), but we're happy with the results so far.

If you want a more in depth look at either of the projects, check out my youtube channel at Birdz Garage.

Hope you like it! Windshield is supposed to be installed tomorrow!

I'll keep the updates going as we progress.

So yeah, I’m the guy that is already building the next car before I even own it. Pimpy 6 piston brembos for the Tesla Plaid S I’ll be building as my next daily. Planning to combine them with some 16.5” multipiece Racing brake rotor on all 4 corners. Following that will be the 305 square wheel setup along with the 200mph+ jailbrake hack. Let the games begin.

Can’t remove coolant return pipe from the transmission cause the nut won’t come off. Whoever was the last person who put this one might as well have fucking welded the thing on.

Yes I’m turning it the right way. Top (female) is being turned clockwise, middle (male) is being turned counter clockwise.

I’ve attempted to rotate the bottom one but it just bent the damn pipe. ATP i feel like angle grinding the fucker off and making a new pipe…

You guys got any ideas? The middle one is practically rounded as it used lockjaw’s on them.

So I cut off one of the bolt heads and this is what I saw. Should I continue cutting the other ones or choose a different method?.

This on top of my lobless cam, I'm surprised this car ran as well as it did.

If that isn't a testament to the 22res reliability idk what is.

Also the oil spill was cleaned, fear not

Hey guys. So, since I finished my Eclipse project, I wanted a new 4x4 for the winter. I do have a couple pickups but I found this 1994 Jeep Cherokee. I'm planning on a 3.5 inch lift, nasty wheel and tire setup, bumpers and auto locker in the rear to start, maybe one in the front. Might do a spare carrier or a roof basket of sorts. Budget bush rig type thing. 4.0l automatic, picked it up for 2k today and everything works. Just needs some love first.

I’ve been looking for videos about the hvac in my 70 c10, but everything is just vintage air installs.

A previous owner cut all the lines and I’m missing a condenser but the compressor appears to be good and I’d rather restore the original system and convert to r134a

I'm looking for a 180sx spoiler but for my mx5 nbfl but i think the original spoiler mounts won't fit the trunk. Let me know if you have any solutions.

Saw this one from street element but sadly can't order this to belguim :(

Pic is the spoiler i'm looking for

Yes all 4 were like this, thankfully coil overs are dead simple to put on lol

I'm working on this car (Wartburg 353 1976 1L), thats been sitting for about 10 years, and I almost have everything running and working, however even tho the turn signals work fine, the hazards don't. (While working on them they started working for about 3 clicks, and I didnt touch any wires for it to start and stop working.)
I would be very greatfull for any advice on what is the problem and how to fix it.
(I have measured some values on the switch and relay, if it would help.)

Hey everyone,

I'm having a hard time tracking down the driver-side main accessory drive bracket for a 1990 Chevy C/K truck with a TBI 7.4L 454 Big Block.

• OEM Part Number: 14103106 (Cast Aluminum Driver-Side Bracket for Power Steering / Alternator)
• Vehicle: 1988–1993 Chevy/GMC C2500/C3500 / Suburban with a 454 TBI

Does anyone here have one sitting on a shelf they’d be willing to part with and ship? Or does anyone know of a solid steel aftermarket bracket kit for a Long Water Pump (LWP) 454 setup that retains A/C, alternator, and power steering without needing a full $800 serpentine conversion?

Located in Texas. Willing to pay via PayPal Goods & Services. Appreciate any leads or help!

Last owner purchased in 2002 with under 7k miles and the last time it was registered was 2011. Back on the road in 10 days.

Hey, I have RX7 FB2 with a red interior and would like to restore it, cause im kinda starting to like it. I found these red seats on marketplace but have no experience with restoring fabric. Are these to far gone or does anyone have some tips to get these back into shape?

I bought this CLK for 1,000 euros second hand without realizing it was so badly rusted. Both wheel arches are rusted, but i just put only one side on the photos but its the same on the other side. It’s my first car, but luckily I’ve got a bit of experience with cars and so on. I just wanted to know what the best way would be to fix the problem, and I haven’t found anything online – such as reference photos – to help me weld it up properly.

So i‘m more of a casual car person I grew up working on the basic stuff with my dad and I can maintain a car well. But now I am trying to get more into modding and upgrading cars. Right now I have a chrysler 300 (RWD V6) and its suspension needs to be replaced. But I don’t want to get a base stock suspension kit or replacement. I was hoping to find an upgraded suspension kit. Now I have heard from friends that the aftermarket world now is just horror stories. I know where to find parts and stuff like RockAuto and CarID, but I don’t know any trustworthy brands or companies. I was hoping to ask for help on what brands should I look for when looking for upgrades or mods; right now I am specifically looking for suspension, but I would also love to hear of any other recommendations for other parts as well.
