anyone think its possible to have too good of oil cooling, so much that the oil never reaches the operating temperature?

ObliqueFD 02-05-04 09:19 PM

Great Job! Is it very hard getting in and out with that roll cage?

Yes it is but that's why you have to put an inline thermostat. Usually they start opening around 170* and are fully open by 180* or so.

My car is an R2 so it had twin coolers. They have been transferred over to my girls R1 because her's were missing. The Fluidyne i have is about equal to the two stock coolers. The reason i set mine up this way was so i could also put a tranny cooler on the passenger side. The TH350 that's in the car now with it's huge stall will need every bit of the Mocal.

It's very hard at 1st but gets a little easier with practice. I'm 6'2" so the FD cockpit is already a little tight. I had to lower the seat about an 1" so i could sit comfortably with my helmet on. Until i did that i couldn't even put my head upright.

Like the guages i take it? I've wanted these damn things for soooooo long and finally found a set. I was feeling real lucky when that happened.:D

Scrapiron7 02-06-04 07:11 AM

Nice gauges! Too bad I could never drive around using Kilometers in the states. I would get confused :)

fastcarfreak 02-06-04 07:21 AM

that must make a sweet track ride! are you gonna have it registered for street use?

dubulup 02-06-04 08:12 AM

so a JMD cluster/hood thing fits in a LHD? Not that you have a problem with hacking things up to make it work ;)

NIIIIIICE avatar too :drool:

that is going to be one hell of a track car!! What's your girls car set-up like??

What color is your ride? or is it multiple colors right now?

93 R1 02-06-04 08:48 AM

looks good man.

jdhuegel1 02-06-04 09:14 AM

Holy shit. Awesome work!!

kempo 02-06-04 10:23 AM

amazing, car keep it up

silvr94r2 02-06-04 08:11 PM

thanks guys! The car is going to be fully streetable with occasional track time. It's going to be a 9 sec. street car with the hopes of going 8's. Please don't flame me for my goals. These are my goals and i don't really see too much of a problem getting there.

Right now we have 2 of the quickest/fastest Supra's in the country so i have a little experience. The only thing that might slow me down a little is getting the rotary to hold up long enough to get the car dialed in.

My girls car is more of a street/drift setup. I'm teaching her the art of drifting. It's got a streetported motor with the HKS T04E kit. It's also got a very girly paint job on it....the color is a light blue metallic with a couple of pearls. The car changes quite a few different colors.

My car is silver but the bumper is chrome-illusion crap that i bought off of someone. It's getting repainted in the next couple of weeks. It'll be staying silver for sure......just a flawless silver:)

Nice any updates?

REAmemiya FD3S 12-01-04 03:10 PM
