that dash is so sick

karl_tate

why the change in suspension at the back??

that dash does look really cool, what is left to do on the car??

vest_racing

The change in the back is a reason of the guy who sold the coil overs told me they where hight adjustbl.. And they are not..

So insted of selling of the 5K suspension, I just move them up abit.


Left on the car:

Welding the exhaust
Plumming the wastegate to the downpipe.
Welding intercooler piping.
Making a new braket for the coils.
Getting a main fuel pump.
Getting FPR.
Getting a boost regulator for the Autronic.
Getting some oil pressure, oil temp sensor and boost pressure sensor for autronic.
Getting pressure sensor for logging backpressure in manifold.
Getting wideband O2 sensor.
Getting 2 EGT sensors.
Getting a dash to show it all.

Then some wiring.

Probably forgot something, but there isnt too much left for the start up..

Hey there,
I was watching this thread a while ago on the UK forum.. I thought you had sold it all off or something? Maybe I got confused.. anyway.. good to see it coming along.. You are an inspiration.

Well I`m getting pretty tired of the car now..

Feels like I take one step forward then three steps back..
Not coming any way one it..

Leeroy_25

Hey man.. Stick with it! It will be worth it in the end.

I know what you mean though. My project caused (and still is!) all manner of grief. Just like you say.. you think you have taken a step forward and something bites you in the ***!
It's just cars!

Whatever it is though they keep us coming back for more punishment!

Lee

Rx_Sam

keep up the good work man , you doing fine
and when you are tired of the car let it rest a few days and then you can go for 100% again
i do the same with my project... else you wanna quit with it
and gues what ... you just don't quit with an fd :p

vest_racing

I won`t sell it anyway..

Will just be like throwing cash out the window..

But I will probably use a long time to get it done..

I just desided to use an electrical water pump..

So need to make an adapter plate.
Also made plates for the coilovers in the rear, hope to get the tube that I will weld them to today..

vest_racing

I have done some work today.

I finished the new rear shock mount, just have to weld them to the car.

And I made an adaptor so I can run el water pump.
the first pic is with an 4mm plate, but I changed it to 8mm.
And welded AN16 fitting to it.

I supose they wiill do, as they supose to flow 60gal/min.

Leeroy_25

Are you going for a pickup style rear end by any chance?! Or is there a bulkhead going in the back for legailty reasons?
I have often wondered what a pickup FD3 would look like and toyed with doing it on my next project!
I haven't seen another one so it would certainly be different..
Now everyone is going to want to steel my idea! LOL!

Nice work by the way.. as ever!

Lee

vest_racing

Thanx.

No it`s not going tp be a pickup.. lol

It a fire wall, going to put a plexi glas in..

Need it for the norwegian raceing rules.
It work like a fire wall, because I will have the fuel pump in the trunk..
