2002 + s2000 = S2002 build

[Pootis]

Build looks great! Imo I vote no to the brass knuckles on the trunk that's a honda fanboi thing. Doesn't 4.10 seem a little high for an s52 also? Keep up the good work it's going to be a monster when it's done

Agree with retard.

4.10 with an S52 will be just baaaaaaaaaad.

Just a welding tip, use some tip grease on your nozel and let the cup drag along the lines to get a staighter weld. If you're in a position to where you can't lead, then use an instrument to run along the line. It's helped me a ton!

I admire you for taking on such a big project. I've welded a lot and if I may make a suggestion. A good portion of your beads are displaying low voltage and a fast puddle. Try turning up the voltage and moving the puddle a bit slower. You will get better penetration and a better looking weld as well. It will also reduce grinding time when cleaning up pieces. Good luck!

thanks for the tip i will keep that in mind! welding galvanized steel is a pain :( it tends to splatter at first if not grinded or sanded down for prep.

Yes it is. The key is to grind off ALL the galvanized coating and turn up the voltage a bit. I recommend the flap wheels. They cut through coatings ALOT faster than your traditional grinder. Try not to inhale those fumes as well. There much toxic. Keep up the good work. :p

I'm curious to see how that heater box works out. I know mine is leaking hot air currently and that's not really a problem during the winter, but it's no fun during the summer. I'm also looking for something a wee bit more compact. How does it size up in comparison to the original box?

Oh, and by the way. I'd like to see how you mounted those Wilwood pedals. I'm considering using a set of those and an E30 gas pedal. You used this set, right? http://www.wilwood.com/Pedals/PedalP...emno=340-11295

ill snap a couple of pics of out hows it mounted and as for the heater it is significantly smaller than the stock 2002 heater. it got great reviews
