Exclusive Content…Big Mike’s Prelude Build…Part 20…
I’ll be at the Super Street FF-Battle today so if you guys wanna stop by and chill, you know where to find me…Anyways, back with more of Big Mike’s Prelude rebuild. Basically just assembly of new engine pieces and maintanence here and there before the F20B goes back in…
Brand new Bisimoto cam gears…
Timing belt, windshield clips, grommets, spark plug seals, cam seals, valve cover shit, cowl clips, etc…
Big Mike’s homie Ejay came by to help out…
Old Skunk2 cam gears and timing belt coming out…
…and replaced by the Bisi cam gears, orange of course to match the custom orange exterior,…
…and new OEM timing belt…
Fitting for the custom clutch lines…
Mocking up the clutch master cylinder…
Bit of a minor set-back with the reservoir being too close to the firewall…
ARP 12-point stainless steel mounting hardware…
More stuff being mocked up for fabrication…
By the next update the motor should be in the car. While that’s stuff is going on, here’s some shots of the wheels that are getting refinished…
If you guys are wondering, no these won’t be like super aggressive low offset wheels. That’s not Big Mike’s style really. We tried to convince him but he’s more of a old school guy and he doesn’t want to do crazy fender mods to get wheels to fit any what not. What can I say, it’s not for everyone. Definitely shouldn’t take away from the build though….
Back with more as it comes in…
Enough with the orange tease!
