Thanks Syncro, it's been painstaking. Cant wait to have my RPMs pegged at 8!!

reboot, it's not my garage. My car is at Turblown. Hopefully it'll be in my garage soon.

 

So it looks like I am going with the Motec. Heard lots of good things about the Haltech and all, but Motec has much more advanced tuning. I kinda look at it as the difference between a mac and pc.

 

I was up at turblown yesterday and saw your car!! It is nice, but I think you might want a little more meat out back.

 

good point. those tires will be up in smoke in 30 minutes with the new set up.

I am buying the 8" BBS rims off Elliot. They'll be on once the motor is built.

I'm doing suspension next. I just really need to get back behind the wheel. 7 months with no boost?... can you even imagine?

what are you having Elliot do?

 

I just picked up an ecu from him

 

No, I would be a very unhappy person without my car.

 

I have entered into a state of deep depression... J/J
Its been fun building this beast.

Enjoy your ECU. Glad to help a fellow rotorhead.

 

That's right it came out of your car.lol

Thanks

 

Do we need to put you on some meds for that depression?

 

already got em... I am on a 6 times, daily dose of Hefenwiezen!

 

lol

 

BOO YA



coated rotors, it's what's for dinner.

 

very nice stylemon its always fun looking at other peoples work because theres always room for improvement

keep updatinging it bro i am still doing mine

 

Hey Nene. I have been watching your blog too. That radiator is CLEAN. I picked up and old aluminum rad for $10. It has a small leak that can be fixed. A steal for sure, but I'd much rather have that nice new one!!

What kind of motor mounts are you going with? I'll need to grab some soon and am open to suggestions.

 

Check out the Rims I just picked up. 8" BBS. About as wide as I can get with stock suspension. Should take care of the meat problem... Ha They are pretty light too.

Don't like the gold, so I'll paint the spokes black.

 

Took some nice shots of my engine internals since I won't see them apart like this agian.

 

anyone painted rims before? what type of paint will hold up?

 

Duplicolor wheel paint. Make sure you let them cure first before subjecting them to anything. Forgot how long the cure time was, couple of days I think. The best way of course is powder coating, most durable in my opinion.

 

Thanks!
I should look into having a shop do the powder coating.

 

I ordered my Motec system today. Should be here monday.

I am the first one in the USA to have the M2R other than the Motec Employees. It's not even on thier Aussie website, much-less the US site, yet!

Also got a nice Mazda steering wheel. It's the first piece to my S5 blk interior conversion. This thing is pretty cherry for being 15 years old. Got it from misterstyx69. He was great to buy from.

 

motec... mmmm... could you tell us more about the M2R and how much they go for?

 

thanks for your interest. I am real excited about the motec. It seems so much easier than haltech.

The M2R is a cheaper than the other motec systems because it is ONLY for 2 rotor applicaitons. No 4 cylindar or 3 rotor possibilities. But that's good with me, I love my 2Rotor.

The guys at motec usa are hooking me up with a base map, so we dont have to engineer the whole fuel system. They just released this system and motec usa has only had them in stock for a week. If you want a price quote, call motec usa.

As I learn more about the system I will post more.

 

Today I pulled the old fuel pump and placed the Walbro in the bracket. The old filter wasn't really that dirty, but there was some sediment in the gas tank so I decided to hold off on fully installing the new pump. I am going to take the tank off and clean it out before putting the new pump in.
Also, should have the new steering wheel out in tomorrow.

 

Got the M2R yesterday alond with the 10' flying lead. damn it's little, smaller than the haltech... but smarter!

pics later

 

ooohh me likessss
