Another member name Jason with a FD.
This seem like the common theme lol.

Anyways, here is some history about me and my FD. I started out with a FC Turbo II back in 04 and sold it back in 2010 (Still regretting it). Went on a 4 year haitus on rotary, going thru a bunch of different cars, and finally back on the rotary game. Finally achieving one of my many life goals. I purchased my 93 touring FD back last June (2014).

Here are some info on the car when I purchased it back last June.

93 Touring FD
53k original miles (rebuilt motor at 44k miles)
Mods:
Hi-Tech dual tip Cat back exhaust
Apexi T-Maxx shocks
RB sway bar
AST delete
Slotted rotors
And god awful rota wheels @_@

The first thing I did was the basic maintenance: Oil change, plugs, wires, accessory belts, fpd fuel filter, trans and diff fluid.



This is how my plugs looked



Magnecore Spark wires


Neo Trans and diff fluid



My attempt on the replacing the FPD. My attempts were futile and end it up having a shop to do it. (Got the FPD, Injectors, and OMP line replace in April of 2015)


After a month driving around on the rotas with stretched tires, I decided to get new tires for my chrome stock FD wheels that was suppose to go on my FC. (215 on 17x9 = no bueno! Not about that stance life)


Dunlops DZ102

Also picked up an R1 lips from a close friend of mine



Around August I picked up R1 strut bar.

 

Around August I came across a deal on some CE28 that I couldn't pass up on. (Impulse buying)











Then I went on a splurge (Mix of new and used parts) #BrokeLife


Fluidyne radiator



RE-Amemiya SMIC


Samco Radiator Hoses, HKS TT Harness (Didn't use), Greddy Radiator Cap (did not even use).


HPI Downpipe


HKS RS Intake and Efini Y-Pipe


JDM Goodies! RE-Amemiya Short Shifter, FEED IC Pipe Kit, FEED sway mounts


Apexi PFC


Pettit Thermo Stat, o2, and blue printed charge valve.

 

Just pics of all the part just sitting in my garage waiting to be installed.




Then more parts! Not really, just got some used set of stock injectors that I bought off of a member on here.




Sent them to RC-Eng to get them cleaned and tested.




2/15 - Got bored and decided to install my RE-Amemiya Short Shifter and PFC.




Everything works and it fires right up!

Learning Idle - Using Dale Clark's PFC write up.

 

4/15 - After 3 weeks sitting in the shop just to change the injectors, replace the FPD, and OMP lines and $700 in the hole, I finally got my car back and ready to be worked on again. *I should have taken a week off of work and did the FPD, Injectors and OMP myself, oh well!*

Let the Transformation begin! (not really)








Downpipe is in! along with the new pettit o2

Efini Y-Pipe and HKS RS Intake pipes are in


R2 Dual oil coolers are in!

Close up pics of the FEED Sway Mounts (Yes I know they sent me two passenger side radiator bracket, but I got that fixed and taken care of)

Test fitting the SMIC and FEED pipe kit

Final Results! - JP! Its never finished!

 

I decided to get new tires and mount my CE28 on.


Hankooks Ventus V12 Evo2



More Wheels goodies!

 

Looking good, how do you like the RE short shifter?

 

I actually love it, its really smooth and the throw is only a tad bit shorter than stock.

 

Great write up and documentation Jason! Nice quality parts...you forgot to call out your baller FEED elbow and Pettit IC duct :P Overall clean FD man. Keep up the good work!

 

nice, whats next?

 

in the pipeline: ST rear sway bar, high flow cat, and a tune

So stay tune!

 

Beautiful SSM bro.

 

thanks!

anyways here are some updates, well not really... lol

I just recently came back from my Japan trip and I stopped by RE-Amemiya and I snapped a few photos (I made sure if its OK to take pics).


















These aren't your 80mm (3") piping, these Dp/Mp are 90mm! They are pretty fat!












And of course a little souvenir for my FD

 

Awesome build dude.
What did you do with the Rota Wheels?

 

Great, clean, build! Cant wait to see where this goes!

 

Great build documentation. Those chrome stock rims looked awesome with the silver exterior. Welcome to the "I can't pass smog anymore" club lol

 

Thanks! I sold them awhile back.

Nice FD Jason

 

Small Update:

9/19 - Removed the bose sound snake and decided to finally install my Apexi BNR33 GTR Fuel Pump. *Note This fuel pump was brand new and was sitting in my garage for the past 8years.*













Assembled on the fuel pump assembly.

 

That rubber hose rated for fuel? Just checkin

 

Yup, thanks for looking out tho.

That hose came with the fuel pump and it was initially attached to the fuel strainer to the pump. (I had to purchase an OE style strainer, the R33 style strainer will not work).

 

What a good looking silver FD! Great build!

 

Here some small updates and progress.

I finally got some time to fix the oil pan leak and replace some motor mounts and steering rack bushing.



Engine Support bar in place and ready to drop the subframe



Taaddaaa subframe out!



Without the subframe, I shouldn't have let the steering rack hang like that.



The old oil pan, it is warped and look at that terrible rtv job.



Oil pan-less



Oil pan brace and steering bushing!


FFE Street mounts



New oil pan and brace is on!



And motor mounts too!



Steering rack bushing

 

My attempt to clean a greasy/ oily subframe.

Stay tuned! more updates soon! hopefully...

 

Nice build!

 

Thanks!


Here are some updates and I will try to post some video later tonight.





Subframe back on and Hi-Flow cat installed
