Recently had epic photos taken by ZoomZoom and submitted an article about my FD build and they decided to publish it! I figured I would share. Enjoy!

Nicely done. Great looking 7.

 

Beautiful looking FD. Very tasteful mod selection. Well done indeed!

I wish my engine bay looked that clean.

 

Love it!

 

Excellent. I didn't know that CYM only came in R1.

 

Good lord your car is gorgeous! Engine bay is super clean, love the way you cleaned it up.

Tuck the fan relays behind the fender liner.

 

US Market CYM’s were all R1 which he states in the article. There were 100 Canadian CYM’s. All of which were base models.
Fun fact...

 

I actually had the fan relays tucked and hidden in the fender liner for a cleaner look. However, after driving the car in some rain during a 7's day cruise, 2 of the fans relays got wet and stopped working. My brother (fourtyounce) had warned me that he had the same issues in the past after tucking as well but I guess I had to experience it for myself to learn. I ended up buying new relays and putting them back in the oem location. I'm all for aesthetics but functionality takes priority. I don't like having to constantly worry if my fans working when I take the car out for a drive.

 

well done, a perfect example of how to do it. some new screen savers... thanks

 

Exquisite.

Nuff said.

Nick

 

Me too!
Good looking car.
Congrats!

 

I need that engine bay in my life

 

Uber clean. As one who personally loves details, there's a lot to love about your engine bay. Great choices, and well executed!

 

Absolutely! That's why I fashioned mine after his bay

 

What wheels are those with the chrome finish from the article? Super clean FDs!

 

Fikse wheels

 

Yup, 18 inch Fikse Profil5, you can't go wrong

Jason, your FD is amazing bud- you deserve all the kudos coming your way

 

lettin this cym go is a regret for me... couldve shouldve wouldve..
regardless.. credit is due.. couldnt have done a better job on her.. kudos on a very nice build..

 

Thanks Jio. Getting compliments from the previous owner means a lot. Sometimes we never get to show the previous owner the final product of a build like with my Supra. I'm glad I did you proud! I heard you recently acquired one of the other Cyms you previously owned?

 

long story short.. the opportunity came up while i was picking up an mkiv... couldnt do both so i made the difficult choice and went with the old flame..
