Great work! Love how flush the emblem is...I think it's better looking than the 2000 grille!

Looks Really good.. Wanna do another? My grill is not the same since that bird decided he was done with this vale of tears and flew into it..

I finally got my brake rotors, shipped to me this time, so they got replaced, along with all new ARP studs..

Time for someone to start the whole 1600 badge on a SR20 car discussion again. Looks great!

Thought about having an SR20 badge made but my pockets are getting very thin at this point. Many more hours and lots of dollars beyond my original plans.

But well worth it! Fun place to be after all the work... Takes longer than you would think cause every time you put something on you just have to stare at it over and over... Then go get the next piece and do it again, and again...
I am partial to black cause nothing sets the chrome and taillight red off better IMHO.

Installed a set of 4 point seat belt harness (quick release). I purchased the set from Ebay for only $55. the quality seems to be good and I didn't need to drill any new holes into my car. I installed these seat belts for safety and for the cool look factor.

Attempted to get my carbs set up so I can begin testing the distributors. Unfortunately, I can not seem to get it done. I was waiting on an oil hose before I could really give it a shot, since my oil leak was too much. Got the hose in and attempted to get it running well. After I got it warmed up I pulled the valve cover and found my 1st cylinder exhaust rocker was set too tight. I'm hoping this is why I couldn't get the front carb to stop flooding, never getting enough vacuum to raise the piston. When I manually held the piston up it idled perfectly smooth. I'm letting it cool down now, tomorrow I will give it another shot.

Today I mounted my new sport springs at the front, I am happy with them but can't see how the look because my engine is not in the car at this moment.

Please look into having the shoulder harness installed properly with a horizontal bar that is about shoulder height.
