Just curious, did you pull the seal from around the windshield for the paint? If so, how do you reinstall it without having to remove the windscreen?

rexhvn

My painter has his window specialist who does all of that so I wouldn't know sorry.

A quick update

Have a few photos of the car partially assembled. I got the back car and will try get some photos this weekend. The paint is fresh off the gun and still needs to get buffed and polished!

Couple more photos!

Looks great I liked the blue but what you are doing now looks much better. Let us know how those bride seats fit I want some for mine when I had it but wasn't sure if theyd fit

rexhvn

Will do! My friend has similar ones in his FD and they suit quite nicely!

A few pics before it goes back into the workshop

Paint looks good, she needs some low.

rexhvn

She certainly does! I've got HKS coilovers so I will lower it soon enough!

Loving the white flake, I did my FD in a silver flake but much bigger. They always get appreciated no matter what paint trend is around at the time

I'm starting to think white is the best FD color?!

Hi guys...

A bit of an update...

I managed to find some time to install my Project Mu Brakes! I don't have any photos yet but will get some soon enough. I also managed to paint my callipers Red while I was down there!

I took it for a drive yesterday after the car sitting for a few weeks and the unfortunate happened... at about 4.5krpm my motor let go... it was heart breaking to think your so close then this happens!

Nonetheless, I am now going ahead with a full rebuild... details will come soon enough! It's going into the workshop on Wednesday to start tearing down the engine and respray the engine bay...

thats a NICE interior!!!

So after a compression test for the engine, the rear housing lost compression (yayy...)

The engine is being pulled out... these are the plans...

- New housings
- New Rotors
- Balanced
- Everything Machined
- PTS Apex Seals
- Dowelled
- Street Port

I will put up some photos when the engine has been pulled apart...

rexhvn

While the engine is being pulled out... received a few goodies!

New clutch, lightweight flywheel and counterweight


Cushion Ceramic clutch - handle 500rwhp


Copper Koyo Radiator - going for the OEM look

It's been a little while guys... for the past 4 weeks the engine was being build!

After the engine was taken apart, we found that the cause of the blown motor is due to finding a 8mm socket inside that done some damage! (My error... it was me) unfortunately a costly mistake... but nonetheless, has resulted in better things.
