95riosnake Posted August 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 @Ronnie_B please do lol, I don't know what else to do anymore. I've asked about the bags sooooooo many times and every time I get the same answer, something to the effect of "soon" ...ugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttocs Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 They would have a couple of sets sold almost as soon as they had them out as I asked to buy them when I got my bags instead. Not sure if the place I got them from knew more then we do but they seem to think it would be a while for the shockwaves and recommended just going cool ride now almost 2 yrs ago even though ridetech was hinting they might have something to show at sema when I saw them at a local hot rod show. Their office is about an hour away and now that I think about it they always come to the show that is coming up on the 24th of this month. Maybe I can hire some bums to picket the place with me. Do you think that a weird bald dude and a bunch of bums with sings saying "WE WANT OUR SHOCKWAVES!!" would stir up any attention at a hot rod show? Damn I have also been looking forward to getting my car weighed by them, not this year again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slow90coupe Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Yeah I'd be down for a set too, as I can't run the standard shockwave bags with my turbo setup. I hope they get their asses in gear soon, I'm having progress withdrawals! I can't wait to see this thing on bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 You and me both Ryan. I've gotten a couple things in recently but nothing deserving of an update yet.

ttocs Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 that could be interesting and creative. The overhead wasn't all that hard to install but making it look like it could belong there took some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overhead wasn't all that hard to install but making it look like it could belong there took some time. The overhead console is still on the option list, I'd just prefer to not have to get into dropping the headliner. Helped do it on another SN before and not interested in doing it again, lol. I have a shitty old factory clock I'm going to cut the base off of to build my pod from, then I'm thinking I'll have it kind of flow down toward the vents a bit to reduce the height. I'll mock it up in cardboard like always to get a feel for it and show you guys what I'm thinking lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also in addition to the crimpers the silver pinout release tool with the little black handle. Its in case you need to remove a bullet connector from the connector.I figured might as well be sure you dont get stuck needing to remove one and have a delay in obtaining the tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning to get started mocking up my idea for the clock pod bezel to hold the E3 control panel this weekend, I was pleasantly surprised to see it was a bit smaller than I was expecting, should make things easier on me for sure.

WildWillyWalker Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Spent a few hours today pulling the front bumper cover off, removing all the blower/intercooler piping and cleaning it out. Oil that had been leaking into the piping from the blower had coated the inside of them and pooled in the lower areas and bottom of the intercooler. Not very exciting stuff but it needed done.On another note, when I got the 98 console installed I kept looking at the e-brake handle and decided it needed a change because the leather had many scuffs and marks in it. So I pulled it out of the car and sent it off to be wrapped in black alcantara with light gray stitching. I also had them change to a French seam along the top of the handle rather than the stock cross-hatched style. That showed up on Friday, I installed that today but being that the console is still missing a few components I decided I'd wait to post an installed pic until it was all finished up. Here are a couple pics of the e-brake out of the car :thumb:I also picked up a pair of Baer Eradispeed 2 piece rotors from [MENTION=584]Rolocut[/MENTION] . They are in good shape mechanically but staying true to my OCD tendencies I'm restoring them before I put them on the car.Here's how they arrived, in overall good but used shape, with the rotor faces lightly cut by Nick before he shipped them out. As you can see the hardware is rusty and the edge of the center hat is pretty dinged up.Blew them apart to start the processWire wheeled all the remaining rust off the rotor rings' holes, slots and edgesFiled and sanded the dinged up edge of the hatI will be having the hats stripped and re-anodized, and I also ordered a new set of hardware from Baer to button everything back together.To finish up this update, here's a pic that [MENTION=10]WildWillyWalker[/MENTION] requested a couple times of the KDezines rear seat delete. Took this with my phone and wide angle lens, had a hard time getting the lighting to cooperate so it turned out a little grainy but it at least shows how the RSD looks installed. :thumbsup:Absolutely love the search on this site.

ttocs Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 That top piece on the rear seat has always been a sore spot for me and I had planned on integrating it into the rsd cover as well. I had it pictured in my head that it would look that smooth but to see it now looks even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 hey dan, does your rsd door just pop out or fold down with like a hinge or something? It press fits in place. It's a tight fit and the padding behind the cover material pushes in to hold it in pretty nicely. There's a little pull tab to let you pull it out when you need to.

There's a little pull tab to let you pull it out when you need to. hmmmmm, wonder if i could make it look clean with the panel out at shows with the air tank centered through that opening. when the panel is out, is it just raw wood showing? only asking cause i'm about to order a tank...was going to get a pancake tank to fit in the spare tire area but a nice polished tank would look good in that opening maybe.
