Tires/rims are enkei rs7 17x7, for rubber they have BF goodrich g-force sport 225/45/17. Pads/rotors are KVR parts from corksport.com. Koyo radiatorfrom rx7 store.net. And relocated battery to read drivers bin. Let me know what ya think, and any suggestions/opinions are welcome. And i dont know if you remember, but i used to have 18's. old 18's

Koyo Radiator with black magic e-fan mounted correctly.


Battery location.


Rims.


New rear Discs.


New front.

 

Is that battery tied down? Looks like it's just kind of sitting on the bottom of the bin, instead of the bin being removed?

 

as of now the battery is sitting there, but the cloth is removed. I have a tiedown set for ti, but havnt figured out a mount for the mount...does that make sense? Any help would be appreciated.

 

You've been busy.

Looks good.

Maybe it's just the angle of the road or seomthing, but it looks like the back end is a little high. Or perhaps the front is a little low. Purely from a 'looks' point of view of course. I'm not entirely sure of the performance characteristics, of the way an FC is sitting. So, if that benefits performance at all, ignore this!

 

what did you do with the 18's?

 

I like those brackets for the EFan...did that come with the fan?

I noticed you have your water temp sensor in the upper radiator hose. Wouldn't you want it in the lower hose. I would think it being in the upper hose you would have no way of telling thermostat was stuck closed until it was way to late?

Nice! Love the rotors.

 

When i find a shop that can tap the water pump housing i will be putting it in there, but until then im just going to leave it in the upper hose(thats where ive seen most people put it). And yes, the brackets did come with the black magic e-fan, they look very nice in my opinion, and work very good. And plus i still have the stock temp sensor in the bottom location, so ill trust that until i get the other correctly placed.


2 of the 18's are in my living room for chairs, and the other are in my downstairs storage room. They are for sale, in anyone is interested, pm me and well talk from there.


Yes i have been quite busy. And the rear isnt "intentionally" higher.....i doubt it add performance, heres another picture. And yes i know i need to adjust the neg camber in the rear

 

Wow i like that efan, I should throw it on my koyo, could i get a part number or a link please? Nice car too

flx-150 www.summitracing.com
costs $199.95

Its kinda pricey, but very easy to install, comes with brackets and other stuff. Id suggest it if your not limited by money.

What offset are the wheels?

white s4 t2s FO' LIFE!!!

 

Looking good...the Battery undertray Is a bitch to remove with the severely corroded bolts. I see you've cut off the better part of It off though.

 

yes, indeed, that one bolt is being a little beyotch. And of course noDE, white t2's Fo' LizzZIFE!

 

Hey Ben, car looks sweet.....we met at the Ottawa cruise....I had the non-idling red S5
What kind of coilovers were those again?

 

cusco comp-s

 

Rotors look great. Good choice on fan.

What I did about the batt tray was grab one corner with both hands and YANK! Then I was able to vice grip the rusted bolts out or cut them off.

 

I dont see how it will be possible for that efan to cool NEARLY as well as the stock fan with shroud. That thing is WAY to small and doesnt cover NEAR the whole rad.

What are you temps?

 

normal cruising on the highway at about 3k in 5th, the temps will be around 180-200, but keep in mind i also have the koyo and the fan is really used when the car is sitting still. Also my ac radiator thing (cant think of what its called) is removed. I havnt seen temps above 200 yet, and its been around 75 degrees here.

 

Same rims my TII had .
