I little hypocritical don't you think? and 300rwhp doesn't snap necks.... sorry.... Look dude, get off your highhorse before someone literally knocks you down a peg or two....

Here's two easy ones....
What are the side seal clearances set at?
What are the rotor bearing clearances?

 

Your an idiot. I meant people looking at the car snap their necks when I drive by to get a better look. You think i'm going to to you because you built yourself a car You still haven't answered my question about building your own house?

 

i would not have limited myself with the sport 1000 and purchased the sport 2000, and i would also have gone with something like A/W intercooling rather than the crapshoot that the top mount is.

 

^Lol he has water injection.

Nice car dude, it would have been cool to see it a bit lower, but it's cool.

 

Thanx. A front mount will be in store eventually. I just didn't want to mess up my bumper. Coilovers will also come eventually for that nice stance. I like how it sits right now but I will like it more lower. It actually looks higher in the pics than in person though, idk why. Any recomendations for a good daily drivable set of coilovers?

 

I hear very good things about Stance GR+, I'm trying to get some mid next month. They seem to be the best price/performance.

 

a ton of hate in here... thats just what you get when you don't do it yourself i think. but it is a very nice Fc, i like the wheels. steering wheel defiantly isn't for me haha. ill post some pics if how i mounted my front mount in my car, when im done. i didn't cut my bumper at all.

 

OMFG!!!!! YOU MUST BE KIDDING ME RIGHT!!!!!
This is sooooooo classic....

its YOU'RE


..... as in you are.... not your... as in this POS is your car... I'm the idiot yet you can't seem to master basic elementary school english.... wow.... nice kid... really nice....

I didn't need to build my own house, I bought my own house that didn't need to be built. But with the toilet clogged, I didn't go crying to daddy to ask him to pay for a plumber, no I did it myself. in fact, in the entire time I've owned my own house, not one "proffesional" has been there to do anything, I've done it all myself.... cuz I'm like that. You never answered my questions about side seal clearance...... could that be because you don't have a clue what I'm asking about? Are you furiously e-mailing John right now asking him what he set them at?

I never said swing on my nuts becuase I built my own car, I just said get yourself off that pedastal about a car that all you did for it was open daddy's wallet. This is really pathetic if you ask me. Get over it kid. Seriously...

 

Yeah... it's very hot out here. At least it's dry though.

 

Nice build and nice thread so far. There are things I would have done differently, but hey, overall, it's fine.

While that is aesthetically pleasing, it isn't much for reliability.

The Haltech fuse panel isn't made to be installed in an engine bay. I believe the manual even warns directly about this. Coat everything with dielectric grease so the contacts don't corrode and become intermittent.

The whole assembly shouldn't be near the exhaust like it is. Notice that the factory doesn't mount anything electronic in that location. You're going to want to make a nice heat shield. And while you are there, get grease on the relay pins and connectors as well to prevent the unsealed connectors form corroding.

Come on man, don't make statements like that. Unless you have personally received an engine from every builder on this forum and then immediately tore that engine down to inspect it, and have the experience to know what you saw, this statement is just comical and is what makes an 8 page thread of people questioning your decisions. Contrary to popular belief, it is not rocket science to build a reliable high HP rotary and frankly, even a poorly built engine will hold together in high HP applications as long as the supporting systems are up to par.

 

This.

 

I heard those are pretty stiff though. Let me know how you like them if/when you get them.



Bikeboy- Yeah deffinetly post up a pic for me so I can get an idea of what I should do in the future.

Thanx for the info Aaron, I will most likely put in a heat shield if you think that would be best.

 

I hate when people try and correct grammer on the web. It's the internet dude no one cares about grammer lol.

 

Nothing?

It's a very obvious sign of intelligence and maturity. I wouldn't want people thinking I'm an idiot who doesn't know the difference between 'your' and 'you're.' But **** it, its only the web right....

Yo dawg, that chit be mad tyte yo, dem stances are da ****, but if ya wanna be ballerz yo, get da gr+pros dawg i be rockin doze on my phat ride and dey ain't to stiff nah not at all i be rollin 7/5 yo and dey be kewl for da rough street o nyc...

Yeah, that's perfectly acceptable. Maybe I'm getting old?

 

 

Just saying that hardly makes it true.
Although most are not as upfront as TTT, we are secretly judging you on your vocabulary and grammar all the time.
Language is a tool and improper usage strikes me the same way as if you'd reached for vice-grips instead of a 14mm socket....they both do the job but one does it correctly, the other, not.

 

Once again Clokker takes my brunt point and makes it much more eloquent. Thank you, seriously, that was well said and a wonderful example with the vise-grips.

 

dammit guys, i use vice grips all the time.'

also, i agree with aaron cake on the placement of fuses and the relays. although it looks nice there, take a temp reading from that same spot sitting in traffic, and you will soon realize that it gets hot enough to burn your hand just placed in that area.

another thing about it is this, you are not doing very much work on your car. although this is ok, we dont generally view the people who do this sort of thing under the correct light. they know nothing about their car, and they talk a good game. however, the mechanic is living vicariously through your car and any retarded thing that he thinks is acceptable, might not be to a logical person. remember, he is getting paid to rush the job, so a rush job it will be. whether it looks nice or not, you will have to pay for it in the future as you know nothing about it. so when you need to change something out, tough.

also... TTT has a legitimate reason for saying what he says. if someone makes a build and calls it better than anything on earth, there will be people to stand up and say otherwise, but his input should be invaluable to anyone on here as well as other peoples input. sure, he may not say it in the nicest way, but do you know him personally? no. so whats the matter? no need to get all flustered over some pixels making shapes into letters and into words. you are getting pissed at a computer screen. now how do you look?

take it from me, just do your thing, but dont post ideas. when you post ideas, they will get flamed. post your final results and thats it. we dont care who builds it, or how well it looks in the engine bay. thats what the hood is for. to hide that ugly ****. if it drives well and looks good, fine. talk about how much fun you are having, not how much money was thrown at it at what shop and what name brand bits are on it.

remember, confidence is walking the walk not talking the talk.

 

SirCygnus you just hit the nail right on the head! couldnt have worded it myseld

 

Interchange brunt for blunt.

Remember, we are dealing with a youngster here, guys. The inability to cross t's and dot the i's does not explain the lambasting of a youngster who is a bit giddy over their first set of wheels. Who here thought their first car was the worst pile of shinola ever to exist? Are there any adults here who can safely say they see things in the very same manner today as compared to when they were "wet behind the ears?" There are much better ways to score points.

 

I think you tar with an unnecessarily broad brush here.
Given the opportunity to indulge their own muse, many mechanics excel and deliver a better product.
A craftsman (which some mechanics are...) is not getting paid to do a rush job- unless that's your specific request (or he works for Chip Foose)- he's getting paid to produce something you yourself can/will not.

No doubt many exist who fit your stereotype, but many do not.

 

I am not gettin mad at all actually. I think it is quite comedy how upset tt is getting. Plus I never said my car is the best. I know there are a thousand cars on here that are way nicer and faster than mine. I am simply excited about the build, just like anyone else would be. I also am not afraid to admit that I am a noob. Everybody has to start somewhere. I work on this car ALOT. I would have done everything myself but I started with a mint condition 80k mile 10ae that I did not want to mess up. I do plan on picking up an N/A or maybe turbo ii for 1-2k and do all of the work myself and learning about the car in depth, this just simply was not the car I wanted to do all the work on myself because I am a noob and it would not have been pretty.

And the build took about 4 months so it was not rushed I can tell you that.

 

you didnt need to make a reply to my post man. i was just making a statement and hoped you took some info from it.

ultimately what you did was throw money at a perfectly good car to make the same HP you could get with maybe 1000 dollars in parts.

 

no you made it clear that your motor was the best

ill believe it when i see it. but honestly if you dont like hearing all the negative crap you shoulda just tore right into this. youre making it sound like everything they did for you is something special. its not. you could have done it all the exact same way yourself. like i told you already tons of guys here have never even touched a wrench till they get their cars. look at a few buld threads.and hell your daddys a diesel mechanic isnt he? he could help a lot. i think its not a matter of you wanting to do it but more like daddys pocket book makes it a lot easier.

sorry for being so harsh, i just grew up being raised where if you want it well you gotta work for it. there was never the option of dad swiping his visa card.

 

1000 dollars?? I don't know where you get your parts but I would have had to buy all my parts at pick a part to stay in that budget.

I know they did not do anything special. Building motors is their specialty so how would them building my car be something special? lol I have already stated that my dad and I could have done this whole build our selves but we did not want to. It is just like anything else- Sure you can make a hamburger on your bbq in your back yard but instead you go and buy one at food joint. Same thing but this is not a hamburger. No body here knows me just like I do not know you. Me and my dad have built everything from extremely high performance go-ped motors to drag banshee's to anything else you can think of. My dad is 43 and has been an engine mechanic since 17 so trust me we could have EASILY done all of this work but when you do it for a living you do not feel like spending your off time doing it. Open your ears people.
