You're delusional. The only option out of this is, "I crushed it and am using the built motor as a coffee table."

 

Purchased Aerocatch hood pins. If you don't remember, the Flyryde hood which I waited almost a year to get, came to me with a chipped corner and completely useless latch. So pins are necessary. It's also quicker to just have the pins and no latching since this is a strictly race vehicle.



Also purchased threaded gm air temp sensor. Will go in the cold side of intercooler for a clean look.

 

Off topic....





I originally purchased an ebay special steering wheel and hub adapter. The cheap "leather" on the steering wheel is starting to peel away and the plastic hub collar disintegrated into pieces exposing the crappy looking hub. Time to buy the real deal.





So, I was thinking either the Momo Quark wheel and knob in black/black, or red/black:

























Or, go with the Momo Millenium with Combat shift knob:













What's the poll say? I'm also open to alternatives.

 

first, red and black.

but get the car running first

 

I'm getting there. Also bought arp wheel studs today. Need to find a good set of open-ended lug nuts to fit them.

 

i vote on getting it running first.



then vote on making it run fast.



then vote on making it run faster.



then once its faster than fast, pick the millenium setup

 

1. Listens to the idiot above and drives the Tib in poor condition like his shitbox of an Elantra.



2. Launches the Tib.



3. Jon falls into a trance listening to turbo spooling.



4. Cheap and deteriorated eBay wheel and hub break apart causing complete loss of control at 80mph.



5. If not dead, Jon sells $20k worth of parts online for $1k due to lack of Hyundai tuner interest.



6. Faith remains an asshat for life.







Anyways, I just bought a set of Blox chromoly black lug nuts to go with the extended arp studs. I heard the magnesium ones strip easily, so went with the heavier but stronger chromolys.

 

I went with the last steering wheel, the Momo Millenium Sport, because I was afraid there was too much red in the first one. However, I might go with the first red and black shifter. Kinda like it. Wheel should be here in a couple days.



Aerocatch hood pins and GM AIT sensor came yesterday. Drilled, tapped, and Installed ait into the inter cooler outlet. Made for a nicer flush fitment, and I can tuck the wiring. The sensor is also hidden behind the bumper.





Hood nonsense:

I installed the Evo hood I got from Not-so-Flyryde. Not only is the hood latch too long, so it sticks up, but the f*cking hood bolts were much smaller than stock! I had to find smaller bolts and large enough washers to take up the hole spacing. I cannot believe I paid as much as I did, and waited so long, for such a shitty product.





Once again, the hood I got from Flyryde:

Took like a year to get. Don't quite remember the exact waiting period.

A big chunk taken out of the corner that needs fiberglass work.

Hood latch loop that was an inch too long.

Spider cracks above the loop.

Smaller threading than stock bolt holes







Anyways, spent quite a bit of time figuring out where the pins will go before I drill into the hood. The Aerocatch pins require large flat surfaces for mounting. The RD2 hoods don't have much flat area. You basically have only 2 small options. One side or the other of the headlamp "hump".

 

fixed a few steps but pretty much this is the next update we will get

 

You make all this sound so easy. Remind us again where your car is sitting and how much rust it has accumulated?
