Hi, My name is Mike and this is my first rotary car.. i love the way the 3rd gen looked so i had to get one.. i ended up selling my cbr1000 and picked up a 1995 from edmonton



i knew the clutch was going out but thought i could make it home.. i guess not so my wonderful girlfriend had to drive my truck and pick up my sorry a$$



finally made it to my buddies house where he let me tear it all apart in his garage


i took the clutch out and it was toast lol


i fixed the clutch and now its at my house again (well my parents) but all the cars are mine :P




sold my old rims and got new ones




i also bought some add ons like twin power and apexi intake etc.. but then i decided to go bigger and go single turbo.. pics will be coming soon.. please keep in mind that I'm in college and i only work 15 hours now.. i worked in the oil for 1.5 years to help support my addictions for cars/trucks

 

All is good but those lights gotta go

 

aha yes they are hideous but right now I'm working on function over fashion.. i want the hot labs lights.. 1 day aha

 

just a little more of an update

screamer pipe

looking at the rats nest

LIM off

some goodies

these need to get powder coated

ev14 2000cc injectors

 

Nice. Are those JDM upper and lower intake manifolds? Or did you guys in Canada also get them like that?

 

its a jam car.. its rhd

 

Nice car and a good start. I agree that those headlight have got to go!!! You can pick up a set of flip ups for 200-300, well worth it!

 

mind as well save the 2-300 so ill be that much closer to hot lab lights..

my plans for now before i can order a turbo is:
mount/wire my aeromotive fuel pump
delete a bunch of things
sand blast and powder coat engine parts

 

just a little update, powder coated my lim and uim




I also ordered a borg warner s366
ev14 1000cc injectors for my primaries
ffe primary fuel rail

 

Nice, I plan on having my Xcessive LIM and JDM UIM powder coated wrinkle black over the winter.

 

i ended up sanding my intakes down to smooth them out so the glossy finish would look good, my turbo should hopefully be in this week, ill post pics of the engine bay tomorrow.. haven't really been working on it because i have projects and exams and such

 

got my turbo


it needed to be polished so i spent hours doing this



bad lighting, but it looks better in person.. also got my 3.5" exhaust tube, so ill be making my down pipe soon

 

Looking good!

 

well, i got a teaching job and the money is good, so it looks like ill be going big this winter... in order to go big you have to remove the engine.. ill be street porting it and rebuilding it.. still unsure of which seals i want




i pushed it out of the garage and couldn't push it back up the drive way so i used my truck and winched it up aha

in its spot for a while


i will be deleting the ABS and Powersteering.. i want to clean things up a lot

 

started tearing the motor down


parts on the ground, nuts and bolts in the goody bags and labeled for reference

looks like there was some porting done already. the block has perfect compression, i just don't know what has been previously done plus the coolant seals were going so I'm gonna rebuild everything, paint it up all nice and keep it clean

 

those primary diffusers look trashed, might want to replace those unless you're going with different injectors.

Now that my build is damn near done, I'm bored and missing building, lol

 

yea i have a FFE primary and secondary fuel rail, 2000cc for secondaries and 1000cc for primaries

aha theres always something that can be worked on, it never ends

the whole motor disgusts me, its been neglected and looks like garbage.. can't wait for the final product.. hopefully everything will be good to go for april

 

nothing wrong with christmas presents to myself


gotta clean everything up, but looks good so far



if this weekend doesn't get to busy it should be cleaned and painted

things to buy:
aem ignition coils
arm water meth kit
rebuild kit
turblown studs
minor little things

once the new job starts ill be moving faster (around February)

 

housings are painted




started to swap my fuel pump and convert to AN fittings and braided stainless lines



... more to come tomorrow i hope.. i leave for vacation on wednesday

 

Love where this is going!

 

thanks! its gonna be a little slow now due to funds , but cleaning up parts and painting them is really cheap.. my abs delete kit will be in soon as well (after my vacation) so stay tuned!.. my friend will be painting my engine bay this winter and the car will be getting painted blue.. I'm super excited

 

Make sure to document the ABS delete and list what kit you got. I am doing the same thing this weekend.

 

Yea I'm still waiting on ALEXs kit to come in. Im flying to texas and new orleans.. then I'm back for a couple days and fly out to miami to go on a cruise.. so if i get the chance to do the abs delete kit in between i will! Heres just a little update, I've been busy with christmas stuff so not to much going on. I found a piece of my iron gone which affected my coolant seal ( ill post pics soon) and caused for it to smoke so that sucks.. i might weld it and fix it.. but i just have to run my fuel lines and the fuel will be complete

rewelded and sand blasted

painting.. looks so good when when



dried up waiting for assembly




sitting in, still have the old fuel lines sitting there


i need to make a new cover for it as well

i will probably end up getting a motor from addicted performance and selling left over parts from this motor

 

What did you paint the hanger with? There is not many paints that can stand up to soaking in fuel 24/7. I left mine raw stainless.

 

ill have to double check, yea i was hesitant on painting the inside, illl try it out and see what happens, hopefully everything will be fine
