CALI Grown E85 Street Car: Project BLACKADDE

So, I started this project last August thinking that I was going to leave the car at the body shop to install the RE-Amemiya ADGT widebody, and then I decided I wanted to do just a few small upgrades.

It began with wanting to port the motor to go single, run E85, completely redoing the suspension, new interior, really putting a brand new car together. I even got some nice valve stem caps.

I'm hoping by posting this thread I'll get some more motivation to finish the project. I'm trying to take her to Seven Stock XII this year, but unfortunately with a full time college students budget it doesn't look like it's going to happen. So, I'm currently in the process of looking for sponsors to bring my baby to life.

Ben "Karack" @ Rotary Evolution in Northern California is engine builder/tuner, and will be updating us with pictures of the engine build. We'll also be doing a battery relocation to the rear passenger bin & wire tuck of the engine harness/fuse boxes.

Anyway, hope everyone enjoys the build thread.

Sounds like a great build, especially for a college student! It sounds like you are into modding and might ge tired of driving a purple car, so I would suggest going with a more subtle OEM purple. Midnight Pearl from the 95-96 NSX is a beautiful color that transforms based on light between blue/purple/black. I can only think of one or two purple FDs and I don't think anyone has utilized this color yet (correct me if I'm wrong). Check it out...





As you can see, MP looks good with silver/gold/gunmetal (probably black with polished lip, etc). I'm not trying to crap up your thread, so let me know if you want me to take the pictures down. Either way, can't wait to see the finished product!

Rich, looking forward to the pm. I know you're using the same seals I am as well. I was going to use ALS, but they are never in stock, and RA supers still offer the forgiveness I want.

Nope, I moved out to Cali 5 years ago. Maybe I'll get it out to the east coast one of the days, all my family is over there.

Thanks for the info man. I'm digging that color it's a lot more subtle.

Thanks Carol, maybe we can do a shoot together when both of are cars are done. I want to go to the nissan dealership to see if they have one in the lot. I've only seen the color in photos, but I love it.

Yea, Ben is awesome. He came over to pick up the rebuild kit, and we talked for a bit about how my girlfriend hates my FD and wants to set it on fire, and he said he'd be pissed off because this is his build to. I thinks thats the best thing you can ask for in a mechanic.

The engine is already at his place. I'll have the car up to him by mid august I hope.

Glad you posted miata_mx5, I was going to pm you one of these days. haha
Not sure yet on the wheels. I'd like SSR SP1, Work Meister S1 3pc, .....
We'll see what the budget has to say about that.

I'm afraid the Opal black only came on the Spec-V GTR in Japan. You won't get it here in the states.

mmmm

I'm curious of more people's impressions of the AtomicRex kit, once you get that going - definitely post up a review please! I'm on the fence about it.

I'll let you know Carol. I'm hoping Gordon's assessment of "Better than any of my BMWs or any Porsche I have owned or even my Ferrari." is dead on. I'm really looking for that go-kart feel.

Gordon, thanks for the praise. I know I'm going a little over board with the new interior stuff, but if I'm making everything else brand new; why not go all out?!?! haha

It always starts off that way, unfortunately it never ends up being that way. I remember back in the day when I just wanted to do wheels and a drop. Well, $30,000+ later I still don't have a drop and I am on my 5th set of wheels. Mmmmm the joys of car modifications.

All thanks to you Patrick. I can't believe how many receipts I have from you guys.

Ben, should be posting pics up soon of the tear down on the engine. I also talked with Laura @ Rotary Aviation and I should have my apex seals by monday.

ETA September 20th... We'll see. I'm trying to finish before Sevenstock XXII, but that will only be realized with a little help. I'll be at SS regardless.
