i didnt thnk the AIT kit was bad, theres worse out there.. yeah the only bad part about the ait kit was the trimming required for the lense, and they dont fit 100% but other than that, for the price it aint bad.

 

Moar pics!!! (of the girl)

 

another update..... i got the car running and back to somewhat normality... have a few kinks to work out but overall runs really well.... havnt driven it yet because im waiting on a rear lateral link, and my new throttle cable to come in the mail...

i got the wheels and tires on though, and im really happy with them...

17x8 w/ 1" adapter in front 215/40zr17

17x9 w 1-3/4" adapter in rear 245/40zr17

heres my scoop whoring lol..... stock, mazdaspeed, and re amemiya im using the re scoop until i turbo it


the wheels on






and my very torn apart and dirty interior... still waiting for my ignition to get here


and the stock stock stock engine bay


and my mess of a storage room

 

Awesome progress dude!!!

Now..... GIMME YOUR RE-A HOOD SCOOP!!!!!!!!!!!

 

^punk you already got a badass hood lol

 

Nice car! Looking forward to seeing this done! And to whomever was rocking the Pumas, dope!

 

You better put my Mazdaspeed scoop to good use Jesse.
Are you the one who bought the RE scoop on ebay a few days ago? And is that a FinishLine spoiler in your last pic??

 

hahahaha... i ended up getting lucky and finding one locally.. so yours is still in canada! and yup yup yup... i pretty much stole that scoop! $160! damn skippy! lol... and the wing, im not sure, i think it is.. mazdatrix used to sell it, but in the pic they have, its on a car with a full finishline bodykit, so id assume it is

 

HEY!

Welcome back. I knew you couldn't stay away

Looks like a fun little driver! Nice job on the quarter panel flaring, those eastwood tools make that stuff a cake walk

 

hahahahaha... whats up mang! been a while! yeah, i think everyone knew i wouldnt stay away for long! lol... i just wont be building a monster this time around!

and yeah, that fender roller made that job easy! it took me 30 minutes to do both rears! lol

 

heres some more progresso' on the convertible.... still had a good amount of work.. need to install the swaybars, sideskirts, cross-drilled rotors, wing, and a few other tidbits here and there... but im driving her now! so thats a start

 

Great to see she is already on the road man! Looking awesome and it is realy good to see you back bro.

 

looks good, i like it alot more than your prior fc

 

thanks baaahdy!!! and it really is good to be back in the rotary realm!!



thanks... but to me, this car is nothing compared to my orange fc.. i like the wheels more than the ones on my orange car, and how low it is (i only had drop springs on the coupe)..but everything else about the orange one i love a million times more... although, the convertible aspect of it really is growing on me!

 

Those wheels are Group CV's not GR-C's.

Car look aight..The kit is going to dwarf those 17's..they look good from the rear angle shot.

 

nope good sir! you are incorrect!! they are volk GR-C's! the group cv from what i can tell is a 2-piece wheel ,and the center caps look nothing like mine! google both and look at them!

 

awesome build! that re scoop is sick! where can i get one of those?

 

nice

 

Lovin' it.

 

just have to keep your eyes open for em.. they turn up every now and again..but are very hard to find!

and thanks everyone!

 

Jesse IS BACKKKKKK!!!still got the evo?

 

Nice Jesse

 

just please dont put that wing on the trunk.

 

alex.. yeah, i still have the evo.... i just put it into storage for a bit.. keep the miles off of it

dltreezan.... i sold the wing to my friend and fellow forum member jessica... so no worries there.. and i wouldnt put the wing on a vert...but i love love love that wing and if i had another coupe.. it would have been on there in a heartbeat!

 

Looks good so far . Any verdict on color yet? A deep metallic purple liek you mentioned in the OP would be hotness.
