As far as i know it’s still the hicas rack, yea. Unless one of the previous owners changed it.

And nope, theres very, very little rust. Thats the reason I bought it.

Ruskii, Ka-t eventually, yes. Dont have much more then a dollar to my name anymore though haha.

thanks for the awesome read man.

That rear end is possibly the nicest looking and cleanest one i have seen in Canada. I’m super impressed with that. That’s one of those things that you will never ever see come from any shop unless you have an unlimited budget. It simply requires too many man hours and too much patience and care for attention. Only an OWNER could build that.

I love it and your hard work has definitely paid off. I wish it wasn’t going to be a KA-T though man. That car is begging for a nice powerplant like an SR/RB/V8/CA/VQ/anything but a KA. hahahah.

Nice wheels, hoping to be grabbing a set this weekend myself, in 17" though.

Sick shit Trev!

One question though. Why did you choose to put the fuse for the relocation on the battery box? Wouldn’t it be safer to have it located in the engine bay? I mean in reality one of it’s main purposes is to stop any sort of circuit say a short or overload were to occur. If there’s nothing in-between the alternator/starter and the battery it would just overload the wire burning through causing a possible fire, and with it located so far from the main’s it allows a lot of wire travel to “burn”.

Just a quick though, although I haven’t looked into detail as you may have one in the engine bay as well.

So fresh, so clean. I \<3 it.

From what I have read, the “rule” is to the have the fuse 12-16" from the positive terminal on the battery. This way, if something did go wrong and short out, there’s only that small distance that the power has to flow before it gets cut off. As opposed to the full length of the wire all the way to the engine bay heating up and possibly causing a fire if the fuse was up front. I do have a hella cut off switch in the engine bay though, that couldd act as a fuse if things got really bad lol.

Haha, thanks ronnie, yes theres an insane amount of hours just in cleaning, preping and painting everything…

Honestly I would love, and have wanted to do a LSX swap for years, even RB would be nice. But my budget for the build didnt have enough room to fit in any kinda of motor swap and now that I have a low km KA that should be reliable, it feels like it’d be a waste to swap it out for something thats going to possibly need maintenance, clutch, seals ect. So, I’m going to go KA-T for now, and we’ll see how long that lasts 😛

If you happen to have a spare center cap for the wheels when you get em, let me know 🙂
