Not yet. Still lacking irons and seals. Will be my last thing to tackle.

Next big item is Power FC.

Won't be much to look at even once it's driving, but it will get there :] Gotta do some work on the FC this weekend to try to dial in the handling a little better for the next Auto-X...will still spend some time with the FD though.

Parts coming soon:
Apexi Power FC
headlight covers
garfinkle engine torque brace
racing beat sway bar brace

Looks will come later. Engine, drivetrain and suspension is the main thing and it looks like u are doing just fine with that.

Gave the exterior a wash

Interior cleaned up and put back together, will have to replace the odometer and fix the cracked gauge hood in the future.

Intercooler duct extension to grab a bit more air but not disturb the radiator flow too much. Just a piece of black ABS riveted to the stock duct.
Name: IMG_0232_zpsae007651.jpg Views: 93 Size: 40.2 KB

Made an air diverter, my dual intakes will sit in this area, didn't want the radiator fans blowing directly onto them.

Just placed my order with Rotary Evolution for a set of Goopy 2mm seals :]

Next paycheck will go to atkins for all the soft seals...

I like the air diverter idea. I have been thinking of doing something like that with mine.

Just a simply nice build! My next one is going to be just like this! I love this build. So clean. Can't wait to see it finished. Hell, this motivates me to build a "stock" FD. Got to finish my current build first though. lol

Interior looks better than I would have thought! Trick I learned recently on cleaning old dirty leather - Mr. Clean magic eraser. Cleans it like crazy. Also does a good job on tan plastics.

If the airbag center has faded, remove it and hit it with a light coat of Plasti-dip. Did that on Shannon's car, looks like a million bucks.

Oh, I don't know if the aluminum scuff plates are attached properly there. It's supposed to be rubber well nuts and phillips head screws. I have some if you need 'em.
