Update. Up to date. Bunch of small stuff going on. The engine bay looked all awesome – as shown in the above pic – after powder coating the pipes and installing the DEI Titanium turbo blanket/wrap…but, it was not to last. I prepped it for start up, started it, and my same mystery condition resurfaced. [...]

Posted in Brickhouse Products, Greg, Steve on December 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Brickhouse Products is now offering POWDER COATING!!! Why powder coating? First and foremost, it is much more durable and affordable than paint. For our own projects, we have the resources to professionally paint small objects but choose to powder coat them. For your money, you cannot get a better and stronger finish. And, the colors [...]
Shop Visit: AMS and Touge Factory circa ’07
Posted in Shops, Steve on December 11, 2009 | 1 Comment »
As I was looking through my pics, I found some pictures from our trip to Chicago a few years ago. While we were there, we visited AMS and Touge Factory. I thought it would be fun to share. At the time, AMS was just getting into the KA with turbo240.com. I picked up some parts, [...]
Hulk Smash: Creature Comforts.

With the car painted and the weather cold, it was time to reassemble the interior with some of the bits and pieces I had accumulated. This was February-ish 2009. A good job to do in a cold garage. Anyway, you can see it was an absolute mess. I put the S14 driver seat in my [...]

I mocked up the intercooler and got it fitted in the core support area. However, I managed to take some absolute crap quality pictures of most of what was involved in getting it to fit. So instead, let’s look at the piping fabrication. The pic above was our starting point.
B&A: Garage Clean-up
Posted in Brickhouse Products, Steve on October 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
So, I have been doing a piss poor job of keeping up with the site. I worked on the garage the other day – here’s a quick before and after (B&A, duh). As you can see above, the garage was an unorganized shithole. Greg has a knack for never picking up a tool or piece [...]

Hulk Smash: Caterpillar to Coccoon

Hulk Smash becomes a refined gentleman! Here is the starting point for the bodywork. It doesn’t look too bad – straight rust free body. At this point, I had big plans. You will see how those unfold. As I mentioned before, the green doors are rust free replacements for the original white doors. Also, in [...]
Event: 2009 SCCA Nationals @ Lincoln AirPark
Posted in Event, Steve on September 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Lincoln, Nebaska, played host to the 2009 SCCA Solo Nationals after out bidding Heartland Motorsports Park in Topeka, Kansas. There is probably more to the deal than that. All I know is that it was there, and now, it is here. Yay! With it being held in our hometown, it would be silly for us [...]
Hulk Smash: No longer a Tin Man.

With the engine out, I wanted to clean up the bay before putting the rebuilt engine in. It’d be like taking a shower then putting on dirty drawers; you just don’t do it. So, it was washed and degreased…
