Didnt do much on my seven this weekend. I was so tired after working my *** off painting an aircraft on thursday. On saturday i fixed an oil leak on my Vito and found out why it ran so bad. THe compressor housing wasnt mounted properly to the rest of the turbo Today i did some engine work. Not much but the core RE engine is almoste complete!

helghast, TOMORROW!! TOMORROW!

Anyway, got the rear wing today! So the next four pages will probably be dedicated to "anti drifters"
It is the ABS plastic 1600mm gt5 rear spoiler from ebay! Its superb If i need CF look ill just put some cf on it, but i probably paint it orange!
I also got the engine into the enginebay today. Took a while since i had a few parts left to put on it! Everytime i see only the core in the bay it suprises me that it can make that amount of HP.. Thats why i like it

Pics..

Lamborghini Apple Candy Blue

LAM. *0002 Candy Apple Blue (mic 2ct)

i think im going to have to keep on searching(just to verify)....or i could just make my body guy do all the searching...lol

but thank you for your help, sorry for harrasing you lol

haha helghast7! I did a quick search myself. I cant find nothing with lam. *0001 and the *0002 looks very close but i only found bad samples!
Good luck with your search!

The wing is going to be mounted 3"-4" higher and a real rear mount. That means its going to have one mount horizontal and one vertical like some of the other guys got.. I really need a waterjet now! That would be so easy to use to make a pair of new mounts

BTW, does anyone know where to find the oil pressure restrictor for GT35R turbo? rx7store is out and atp turbo cant ship to norway

I havnt done much latley.. Pretty tired of cars at the moment but now i got only one month left to license day so i neeed to get the car done ASAP! Hopefully i have only some minor things left when the eastern vecation is over. One week vecation should give me enaugh time to fix the rest of the wiring, oil hoses, install the race interior, fuel lines, TIG weld the radiator, and assemble the rest of the engine. If i still got time i have some things i need to get done to the front suspension/steering. I want 50degree angle+++!

Dummy GPS antennas.. Just some crap i had on the roof to see how it would look (like lancer evo style) hehe.
With those rims and tires they will rub if i lower the car much. I have others im going to use but since im a drifter i need to be able to use every rim i got. Therefor i have different spacer i can use on different rims. This is not a good solution but i cant afford 20 18" rims with the correct offset.
Some parts of the build are irritating me. Ive taken some shortcuts i wish i had`nt done..
