Just. Wow.
This is going to be awesome.
In for updates.

I was kinda bummed when I found out you wrecked your CB, since it was just like mine. It looked good.

Keep it up man. I wanna see this thing on the track.

Just a quick heads up: These Stoptech brake pads get your wheels dirty REALLY fast

I'm actually excited to see those wheels mounted on this car bro..Should look really nice

Hmm well alot of dust usually means they grab pretty well so thats a good sign! My wheels aren't white so i might be a little better off lol. I can't wait to have them mounted either. Not even because of how they look, but because that will mean the car is ready to drive with its new heart!

I'm currently working on my pedal assembly....going with some pretty colors there lol. Also, dropping off my front knuckles tomorrow night for powdercoat. The color i'm getting isn't anything shocking...but probably not what you'd expect from me.

Everyone notice that I have not done anything at all with the rear suspension of this car. I am purposely not touching the rear for now until I can measure and model the suspension, and decide what exactly I want to do, because there's a good chance there's going to be some custom business going on back there.

I just signed an offer letter today for a co-op at the same company i'm working at now for the spring semester. So August 12th is my last day of work, then I go to school this fall, then I work there again from January until about August 12th next year, then one more semester of school and I'm done!

This is delaying graduation, but why rush? I'm making decent money and at that point in January, I will be able to begin phase 2 of this project. Everything I'm doing this summer is just a proof of concept....

Dropped off my front knuckles today for powdercoat, I will have them by the end of the day Friday.

Also, I soda blasted my pedal box and then painted it...I don't like rusty parts!

Co-Op is such a great program. I was hired right out of school at the company where I worked as a Co-Op. No interview, no BS, just an email that said "Would you like a full time job?"

I ran a tap through the brake line and balljoint cover holes, then got some stainless bolts and got the bearings & snap rings installed:

[mndude07]

Hubs with ARP extended studs installed. I would've bought new hubs too, but they don't exist for the Prelude it seems

Got my outer tie rods and upper balljoints in today too. I bought all Moog for the balljoints and inner tie rods, but I bought cheapo outer tie rods. This is because I will do sphericals within a year so why spend the extra money?

[SacTownCb7]

I read your whole thread and I must say this is awesome! Keep us posted fosho

RockAuto has hub dimensions I believe. You might be able to upgrade....
