Aug 14th, 2012 - Today, I finished up the engine by touching up few spots, and decided to paint the UIM, LIM, and install the Exedy Clutch.

Aug. 5th, 2012 - This morning I decided to finish what I started yesterday... UIM and LIM.

To start, I took some of the cast marking off by filing them off.

After about 1-2 hours of this, I taped it up and sprayed with the same gray I been using, with high temp clear. I initially thought about doing wrinkle red, but after painting the short block, I think it might be bit off.

I let it cure over night and using a file, I took the clear and paint for the machined look, "3 ROTOR".

And to tie in the exterior of the car, I took one of the carbon fiber panel I had and made an insert. This took bit of time as I didn't have the right tools and used some sand paper and file to make the rectangle.

Next is TB and some of the accessories to match everything.. So, more pics in next couple of days.

Let's see what I've been up to...

Friday, I went over to my long time friend, Bryan at bnrsupercars.com to use his sand blast to clean up some suspension parts.

And yesterday, I was pressing on some Powerflex Bushings. I heard great stuff about them and once the old stuff were pushed out, install was a simple hand press in. I was amazed how easy it was since I've installed a set of Delrins in the past. Quality of Powerflex bushing were awesome!!

But I did break something... Lack of sleep and hurry to get the job done, I did this..

Luckily I had a spare

I also decided to refinish my Alcon calipers for this..

Did a pretty good job on one, but other one, I kind of messed up and have to re do it..

Anyhow, Tomorrow, I'm re blasting the one I messed up and re doing it

Thanks! I'm pushing forward

Sept. 2nd, 2012 Well, I been busy trying to fabricate some stuff and re-doing my caliper that I messed up.

I had a chance to re-sand blast and re paint them.

now looks perfect

Also, an announcement of new LIM for 20B!!

I was lucky enough to hear about this LIM 6 months ago and now I can show it off to you guys.

This one isn't my photo.

More information about the LIM and more pics later..
