Excited about what the new year will bring to my car
Excited about what the new year will bring to my car
I bought my 93 fd almost 3 years ago body was semi beat up but new engine with less than 2k on it new twins with less than 2k on them when I bought it and paid about 8k for it. Did have to replace the tranny though after I got it. Anyway to make a long story short, I started stripping the car down for projects I had planned for it. Shortly after that got into a new business and my time just went out the window. For anyone who has started a business or similar you know that for the first couple of years you are dedicated to that business regardless. Now 3 years later over the past couple of days I have placed orders with shineauto, a-spec, groundzero, rx7store and now have to sit back and wait (in some cases 4+ weeks was the estimate) for all the "goodies" to show up.
List of whats coming in:
A-spec GT500R turbo kit (ceramic coating of downpipe, turbine, exhaust mani)
A-spec 500R fuel setup (850 primaries 1680 secondaries) duel fuel pumps, etc etc
Microtech LT10S ecu with x4box direct fire ignition
RE Monster V-mount (purchased 3 years ago from chuck and been sitting as I was waiting to get other parts ordered.)
Tein flex coilovers
spec stage 3 clutch (4 puck)
Block off plates for OMP and all emmissions
Set of 11.5 cold plugs
Wideband A/F
air elimination pully set
Tial BOV for turbo setup
Full Burnout kit from Shine
GT-F hood from shine
various Apexi EII guages to get rid of the banged up none working autometer ones that came with the car
Groundzero oil pan
lots of rediculously overpriced plastic replacement pieces for the interior of the car
Apexi N1 duel exhaust (purchased from Chuck few years ago, God I wish he hadn't moved)
And thats probley it so far, should be plenty to get me a good start on what started 3 years ago. Will get new wheels/tires once the burnout kit is installed and I see what I can get on there probley something like an 18X9 or so front and 18X11 in rear.
Will also recieve some paint love as soon as the kit comes in engine bay and all since over the last couple of years I've stripped it clean.
Eventually want to port the engine but as it was running fine (please don't fail me now since you've set up for 2 years) and had only about 2k miles on a fresh rebuild I just couldn't justify doing it at this point.
Its going to be like a late christmas (only I had to pay for it all) hard part right now is knowing everything is ordered, paid for, and having to sit back an wait on it all to show up.
Just thought I'd share, I'll snap pictures as parts come in, seeing as how I will be doing 90% of all the work, I'm hoping to have it roaring by early summer.
