mounted the Racing Beat exhaust today, fitment is absolutely perfect!
only thing is that i have the GP-sports bodykit and now the endtips had to come down just a little, so i took out the torch again
the end tips are also a little too far in, you cant even see them from the side. so i have to bring them out some more.
otherwise there will also be a slight chance of setting the bumper on fire when this baby shoots flames...

in between some shots of our garage, where we have a installed a new toy
cant wait to get back on the road again!
short update on the project
this week i will be receiving the final parts to finish up and start the engine
- my yoohoo belts for the waterpump
- hoses for the intercooler
then some last electric work for all the gauges and stuff and start filling upwith oil and coolant
i think i will be ready for starting by next weekend...
in 2,5-3 weeks i think i will be ready to get back on the road, cause in 2 weeks my big brake kit will come in and thats the final thing i need!

have a week"vacation" for as far as you can call it that, cause i have plenty of work to do!
but now its time to get some serious things done...
Optima Red top battery mounted in the trunk where the spare used to sit.
hookud up all the gauges and controllers:
- watertemp
- oiltemp
- oilpressure
- boost
- wideband/EGT
- Apexi AFC Neo
- Greddy boostcontroller
only gauge that is missing is fuelpressure, but that one will arrive this week.
im really satisfied how the colours all matches up nicely
then back to the mechanical bit
tested the fuel system, had a small leak, but thats been fixed already.
now its about time i got my intercooler hoses, so i can finish that up

this is 100% pure passion! nothing professional about it 
FINALLY.... my hoses arrived!
made a nice bead ont he end of the pipes to prevent them form popping out
now for a day of measuring and fitting to get it all in nicely.
worked out just fine from what i think
also picked up some new goodness from Jeroentje.nl
a nice set of K-sport 330mm with custom RED 8-pots calipers, they came out really nice!
now im just waiting for the damn waterpump belt, thats the only thing i need to fire it up

just because i have a hole in my hand, doesnt mean my car is any better then yours or better than any other on this planet.
each car is special to its owner and i have as much respect for anyone who drives a beat up civic or a top-notch Skyline or whatever...
only thing is: just dont brag about it... it hate that!
you drive an RX, so you're allready half-way there
busy week at work ahead, so probably will be starting the car next weekend, and the vid will ofcourse be provided!

Peyton Manning has reportedly retired from the NFL and is now located in the Netherlands working on rx7s.
The car looks great! I can't wait to see a finished product.
