In the never ending battle between the parts that have to be purchased to make my car badass, and the Mattback who has to constantly spend money on them, a major breakthrough took place in the past week.

stainless steel brake lines
nismo radiator cap (you think you know, but you have no idea)
msd dis 4
msd blaster coilpack x3
msd gm dis interface x3

While there are still plenty of parts that need to be purchased in order to make this car what I really think will be a showstopper for any Nissan enthusiast, most of the car is ready to start coming together. It's been difficult to work on the car in the evenings only because I am physically exhausted at the end of the day to go work for another few hours at Secret Services. But as I get closer and closer, it begins getting easier and easier to make the time and push myself towards mission completion.

All I have to do is do one thing at a time, and work on it until that one thing is finished. Then there is one less thing to do in the grand scheme of things. For example, my rear timing cover shennanigans, which boggled me at first, I finally just looked at it, and machined it, and bam, we are now good for radiator hose routing just like I had origionally planned.

She's coming guys, maybe not with the speed and inertia of a diesel electric locomotive, but she's still on her way.

 

i have been out of your loop matt, what are you working on? still putting the vg30 in the s13?

 

Mad props to Matt for taking on a dream and actually doing it.
I don't think I'd ever have the motivation to go ahead and take on a project of this magnitude by myself, or even with the help of friends.
I still have a bunch of little things I need to do to mine to make myself content and I haven't even started. And to add to all that I've even broke stuffs already.

Matt, if you ever need help on a saturday, LMK. I'd offer more, but my ass works 6 days a week.

 

Saw the car a week or so ago, and it looks great, keep up the good work...it will all pay off in the end...good luck...

 

glad to hear you're not "tapping out"...good project updat. include some detailed pics of your custom parts.

dont make me give you the talking to that you gave me a while back.

 

Matt is the most determined and passionate person I've ever met. That makes him different and that makes him accomplish something not many people have. That's exactly why he's the person to do it and is doing it.

Things are working out smoothly (obstacles will not hinder Matt's perseverance), not quickly. I don't think anyone should hasten such a significant project.

Matt, you already know this, but you're doing an amazing job. I will make sure you keep it up hehehehe

 

Nooow we all know why you're his girlfriend...you lucky thing you.


Congrats on the progess Matt, can't wait to see the car on the road .....
