Here is some pictures of my newly polished Upper intake manifold, Throttle body and Alternator. You will also notice that green thing on the upper left. I like to call it the ***** that F*&#ed me, because it refused to go on. So then I raped it, and it shut up after that.

Note- Thanks to Gotham Racing for doing such a good job on the polishing.

 

another.

 

whoops

 

In about a week I will have pictures of my new parts I just recieved. But for now this is it.
These two are of the feed torque brace.

 

Let me know what you think

 

I think one end has about 3 too many nuts on it.

 

I think that if it didn't have 3 too many nuts it wouldn't fit at all.

 

Then Feed should pull its head out because for what those things cost they shouldn't look like they are cobbled together. The polishing looks great.

 

looks sweet....now get some polished intercoolerpipes on there...ohh and why not a nice new shiny front mount while your at it

 

WOW, very nice!
How much did they charge to polish, if you don't mind me asking?

 

If I didn't have a nice shiny V-mount sitting downstairs I would have a nice shiny front mount
If Feed made them for the US spec cars then they wouldn't look like mine does. But since they don't you have to make your own ways around the ABS.

 

The FEED torque braces are not made for the US cars. You have to put on the extra nuts to clear the ABS.

 

I just modified the Bracket on the Fender to fit. As I recall it involved cutting the front end (narrow end) of the braket down approx 5/16" and redrilling another hole. My goal was to keep the piston motion perpendicular to the fender wall. No extra hardware required.

 

Sounds like a good idea, I may want to do that. But then again it's okay how it is for now. The polishing costed about $450 or so after all was said and done i believe. Thats with shipping 2 day air also. It may be a little cheaper if you send it regular freight.

 

your polished parts look great!

Gotham did my alternator, and they do real nice work.

 

Why would you want piston motion at all - doesn't this defeat the purpose of a torque brace? Its supposed to keep the motor from twisting right? - it seems with a piston you are just slowing it down instead of eliminating motion?

 

Looks nice.

 

Thanks,
Here is a picture of my new goodies. The PFC will be in today and My intake, Midpipe and BOV are down the street, I still have to pay for them
Hopefully my hood will be in, in a couple of weeks.

 

 

Thanks

 

Looks real good man.....I have a question though.....

Where did you get that bad *** ground strap??? I want some of those!!!!

STEPHEN

 

Looks really really good. I would also like to know where you got that "bad ***" ground strap!

Anthony

 

Scrub: Congrats on your v-mount. I'm very pleased with mine. If I can help you at all, let me know. Tom
PS - I could use some ground straps too!

 

Do I hear a group buy on ground straps coming on??? Maybe I started something haha

STEPHEN

 

I believe Dan has the Hyper Ground Kit from RX7Store... we haven't finished putting them all on yet though. maybe we'll get that done when we install the Vmount
