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...

 

nice pics

 

Nice thread! What rims are those?

 

look great!

 

That is truly awesome! Big load of parts and a lot of work, good job bro.

 

looks great! yea get those end tips out a little more or you'll end up with a burnt GP sports kit! lol.

 

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!

 

Nice garage and cars! Real clean and organized, unlike mine.

 

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

 

looks really good!

 

Still one of the nicest FC's here.

Finish the FMIC and start boosting .

 

drools

 

Ive never seen a car so clean. Let me touch it with my dirty hands.

 

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

 

Clean setup!

Everything looks great, I even dig the piping.

Are you guys a shop or just some dudes that work on cars together?

 

God damn you sir..... god damn you for making me feel like I've got a worthless, ugly, no good POS sitting outside in my driveway........

First run vids or ban!

 

thnx!
this is nothing professional, just pure passion!
i do all the work myself, with an occasional lending hand from my mate if i need it.

 

you sir, dont have to feel that way!
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!

 

what the hell do you do for a job man!?!?

 

nothing special really, im just a mechanic. so i earn my living with my dirty hands!
but the thing is, i still live with my parents for now, and dont have a girlfriend anymore so....

 

mounted my new brakes yesterday, just need to adapt my spacers a little to make it fit to my liking







picked up and mounted my HID lights today, Pilot 4300K

 

That is KEY!

How much did that big brake kit run you? I forget, but are you gonna take this car to the track after it's done?

 

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.

 

ROFL!

 

hahaha true!

the kit usually costs 1500 euros plus 100 euros for the custom paint.
but i got some discount
i have some track days planned allready, and if i get throught the selection, i will also be in the Dutch Time-Attack competition
