very nice ride. you must spend a lot of time taking good care of your car. so here is just one hint, armorall your wheel wells so they look black and not chalky white it was like some1 was stabbing me in the eye every time i saw it. don't take that the wrong way i am not trying to be insulting. i just wanted you to know that it detracts from a great looking FD. of course i am one of those nitpicky people.

okay, the the wheel wells. . . yeah, i know. . . it was burning me as well. . . i had been talking to my brother about it all day. haha. i spent so much time on the paint that i ran out of daylight. . . the pictures are in the shade. . . i didnt wanna lose the perfect picture time. i ususally do clean the fender liners, but this time i just wanted to get some pictures up.

the weird looking tank thing. . . thats an oil catch can and 2stroke reservoir integrated into one. it has two sections. . . one long piece of exhaust tubing with a plate brazed (sp?) about 1/4 of the way down. then, of course, caps brazed (sp? . . . again, hehe) on the ends. i have the rotary aviation oil metering pump block-off plate with the fitting tapped into the side that allows the use of an external oil source. . . and now i get clean, brand new, ashless two stroke oil injected all day long. the back side is what houses the oil catch portion. . . thats obviously for PCV.

stock radiator???? nah, thats a koyo. . . stock fans, of course. i made my intercooler kit that way on purpose. i didnt wanna move the radiator for two reasons. . . look how "wide-open" the engine bay looks that way. . . i can put just about anything else in there that i desire. maybe ill put a giant rat in there on a wheel . . . for show purposes only, of course. haha. the other reason is for my soon to come radiator duct. ill be working on that one soon enough. if i had tilted the radiator straight up like most fmic kits i would have to duct pretty much to the intercooler. . . that is way too much work for me to worry about. hahaha. . . . and its full of hot air. . . so my radiator will be ducted to the bottom side of the car. . . . somewhere.

nissan. . . just a line jock. im trying my damndest to get on over there. . . if i cant. . . then this car just might be seeing someone elses hands.

again, thanks for the great replies guys!!!!!!! it makes me feel so much better about all the things ive done to this car. . . and makes me wanna hold onto it!!!

paul

one more thing guys. . . that car has been repainted. the color youre seeing i believe has a bit more green in it than the stock color. ive seen other montego blue cars that simply dont look the same. . . im sure it was a mistake, but i think it was a pretty good mistake.

Yeah, I could have almost mistaken it for a BB FD.

Excuse my ignorance, but what exactally is a "line jock"? Does that mean that you are a receptionist or something?

haha, at night the car really does look black!!! its crazy. . . the first time my buddies saw it was at night and they all thought it was black. . . didnt look nearly as nice as it doesn now, though. haha.

a line jock. . . sorry about that. . . im applying for the nissan plant here in smyrna, tn. theyre opening up two more lines at the plant and im applying for the assembly line. . . somewhere. . . not really caring where. hahaha.

Very noice.The wing needs to go.
well then, i guess ill be recieving a check from you in the mail sometime soon for the bodywork involving that mod??? anything for you, of course.

paul

oh yeah, i noticed. . . and i tried to take pics without showing the liners. . . but it was getting to dark to not use the flash.

oh, and for those of you who might be wondering why the lim/uim are so bright. . . i sandblasted them as well as the waterpump housing. i love the way it looks, but itll change in the future. all i did was hose em down with kaboom and all the crapola came right off.

Gorgeous.

I'd like to see more detail on how/where you routed those IC pipes without moving the radiator. Where did they go throught?

And no A/C I assume?

thanks!!! i couldve kept the a/c. . . in fact i originally did. . . took it out cause it didnt work. . . didnt feel like repairing it. anyways, heres the post of how the fmic came about. https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...apexi+gtr+core i think this is gonna be a new way for people to get a big dude intercooler in there for less cost and WAY better flow. . . as well as cleanliness. haha.
