Hope this emgine holds up man. So far so good though ay?

 

Yeah me too. My drift season starts this weekend, so we'll see how she does this summer. I have my fingers crossed, lol.

 

Have you ported the turbo and upgraded the fuel system at all? Sorry i havent been following too closely.

 

It's just all stock, except for the street port. I'll probably leave it that way until I rebuild a new motor. I have a bunch of stuff to do in the meantime anyways, so that will consume my time and bank account.

 

Painted the metal last night, it looks so much better. Can't wait to see what it looks like back in the car.



I know, I need to vacuum.

 

you've made some nice touches. i love your car.

 

So I had a great time at the first drift event of the season.



I realized 2/3 of the way through the day I need to stop using shitty couplers. I blew one up and forgot to bring spares so I just watched from then on out. I ordered some braided high psi ones and am taking my car to a local exhaust shop to custom make proper piping for the top mount. Which I'm very glad for, it looks way ghetto right now.

 

And one more shot of my mom riding with me. It was hilarious, she was hitting me in my arm and yelling for me to slow down. I don't know if she'll ever ride with me again, she was shaking for at least 5 minutes afterwards, haha.

 

Haha... I like that color man. Some sort of "off-white" or "pearl white" or something?

 

Guages are cool. What brand? Post pics of them at night.

 

Cadillac Escalade Pearl White, and I'll try to remember. The car's down again until I can redo the intercooler piping. And they are STRI gauges. they look pretty baller at night.

not mine

 

Rims are awesome. Perfect for the FC. Engine bay needs some love, too many crayon colors in one box. Overall, like the car a lot.

 

Ya they look pretty good. I think I'm into more of the amber at night to match the stock guage cluster. Although those stri guages look to provide a cooler color. Hmm.

 

For sure, can't pass a good deal though.

So I just ordered me some cheapo Bride Seats. Shipped for $400 for a pair, so not too bad. I just hope they fit well, are comfortable, and stay that way, lol. Might be hoping for alot.

 

I'm sure they are good. I like sparco pro 2000. Ds you get these used? I've never heard of bride seats going for so little. I'm gonna go with generic replicas.

 

Brand New, and yes, these are the generic replicas from Taiwan, lol

 

Oh, Haha. good stuff man!

 

Seats installed


I like this pic, even tho its my crappy cell phone

 

Haha. We have the same interior. i hate mine. im swapping it for all black soon. the seats worked out well eh?

 

So did you do the complete drive train swap or just the engine with the NA flywheel?

Really interested in seeing your car in person.

I converted a '90 GTU to a full TII, drive train and all about three years ago when I
was stationed in Hawaii (never ran right because I couldn't get hold of a working S5 Turbo BPS).

I've owned just about every 2nd gen model ever made including the convertibles and one automatic!
86 GXL, 87 NA Sport, (3) 87 TII's, 88 TII, 89 NA Sport, 90 GTU, 90 Vert 5speed, 91 Vert 5speed, and 91 Vert auto! I've also owned the 93 FD in my avatar, an '05 RX-8 and currently own a 94 FD that is back home in TX.

I'm also in CO Springs and could help out if you ever needed a hand, I love working on 2nd gens,
they are by FAR my favorite! I'm stationed on Fort Carson so just drop me a line whenever you
want!

 

I will be deploying here in a month or two. Would be nice to meet up with some rotorheads in the mean time! I have every intention of building up my 94 FD and bringing it back down to the Springs when I return in a year.

 

I believe we are meeting up this Friday, pm your number and I'll call/text when and where we plan on meeting up. We usually just go to a restaurant and get some dinner, and discuss who's car isn't running and why, lol.

Just the engine, tranny has 198k miles on it, so once it craps out, I'll redo the drivetrain with a 2 way diff and lightened flywheel. Stage 2 clutch is installed to handle the extra power tho.

Thats pretty awesome, a true rotor head haha. And you can never have too much help, so any input you have would be much appreciated! My number is (719) 65one-813seven, call or text anytime, and we can meet up. I have a pretty busy schedule so weekends usually work best for me, but you should try and come out this friday!

Recent updates:
-Every part I need to hook up my power steering, just so busy lately haven't had time to do it. This weekend for sure though.
-NRG Short hub and quick release 2.5
-Power Slot cross drilled/slotted rotors
-Hawk HPS pads F&R
-Super awesome jdm tyte dorifto stickers including

-Some 18" drift spares


So now I just have to install the brake rotors and pads, g-master tie rods and spacers. Align my car and re-adjust my suspension for my next drift event July 3rd. I really need to stop slacking on the tie rods. I'm just nervous about doing the install, and getting everything set-up proper. Plus I don't really trust anyone here in the springs to help out. So I guess I just need to venture up to Denver to get this done.

 

Nice wheels.

 

Eh, not bad for $60 including tires, I'll be accent painting them black. So black and white should look alright with the equips up front. I can't just buy wheels without rattle canning them. Its a sickness!

Quick photoshop of what I plan to do.


Or somethin of the sorts, lol

 

damnnn i like those rims. before you paint them can u put them on your car so i can see how they look like first? =) also any info on the rims?
