Type R Club of America

Got a little more work done over the weekend.
Mocked up the dashboard to be able to mark where I can run my brake hard lines.



Dusted off the Recaro bucket to be able to mark my drilling locations for the seat harness install.

Crow 6 pt. Harness installed

Excellent progress. Let's get this knocked out! I can offer a hand if desired.

Tried the TE's on the car. Love that they're original finish and are in great shape but I may have to refinish them down the road. Not sure about the silver and white. Bronze maybe?

I like that they offer all black hardware as an option, plus a military discount

Sup Chuy! Yeah the all black Option was a must! How are your builds doing?

I've collected about 80% of the parts for the CDM R but got a little side tracked putting together a 00 EK for track duties. I miss racing but not having to keep repainting the lip on PYR haha. But I'm almost done with the EK, just waiting to get the trans back from a re build and should be good to go. I see the pace is picking up on your build

Nice! Love the EK chassis. I'm sure that car will be a solid track car. Yeah now that it's back from it's looong paint job, things are moving at a good pace. Hope to bring it out later this year.

A little update.

Got the driver and passenger windows on with almost all new OEM moldings.

Picked up a few pieces
Front and rear Endless brake pads
(unfortunately I ordered the wrong front pads as these are for OE calipers and not the Endless calipers so they are for sale if anyone is interested!)



A big thanks to @coolhandluke for storing these window visors for a couple of years.



A bit of free time this weekend gave me the chance to drill a few holes for the brake hardware and wire harness firewall grommet

Nice, did you run any primer or paint over the exposed metal from cutting?

Yup! I purchased an aerosol can of VSM and sprayed a couple of coats

Hellz yeah, nice. Looks great.

Living legend - Nothing less.

In an era where stock and pristine is held on its highest pedestal (as it should) it's refreshing to see a build with usage in mind. Keep up the great work my ninja.
