808DA6 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Haha! Nope. They tried, but couldn't keep up. Vtec kicked in yo! :frantics: :fu: Sorry for the interweb silence. The truck is coming along, but very slowly. No new pics, but there is some news. Got my hands on another SR. Complete and bone stock. This motor will go in the truck instead of the beast. Not sure what I'll do with the built SR. Only time will tell, but there IS a 2dr dime for sale down the road.................. -Brian Quote Link to comment

DRIVEN Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Yeah. The one with the louvered hood. You can look through the holes in the tail light panel and then through the holes in the trunk hole to the ground. Have you seen it in person? Quote Link to comment

808DA6 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Mr. Klotz is gonna have to help me out w/ this update. :) Mike hooked up some machinist skills and we got my HB hubs turned down. Then he warmed up the mill and drilled out two 6x5.5 rotor hats. Art. The hats are as hub-centric as you can get. Can't wait to get them on the 521. -Brian Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 LOL! I told Brian I'd have these up before he got home...guess I missed that by a bit. I should put this in the machine work thread, but since I'm here :) Brian brought over blank Wilwood top hats. If we had trimmed the hub to fit the center hole, we wouldn't have had much hub left. So, we decided to turn them to the same diameter as the 720 hubs and open up the top hat to match. I put a 45deg bevel on the backside of the hole. Also had to turn the outer diameter of the hub down so that it would fit inside the top hat. I was pretty pleased with the fit....there's not even a .001" of slop in either set :) The rubber band and dowels are to line up the top hats a bit. The snout on the hub was long enough to register both top hats together. I clamped it to the mill and between the two of us, we managed to get the drill centered in the holes pretty nicely! A bit of vid showing the fit :) Quote Link to comment
