The engine is finally in the car and I have been patiently breaking in the motor for the past week.

However, not a good day today. Somehow, the power to my new 140amp alternator melted that caused the gauges to malfunction and stopped charging the battery. Good thing it happened 2 minutes before I pulled into the parking lot...given more time, it probably would have shorted a lot of things and cause an engine fire. Anyway, it totally sucks to be out of the car again

 

Coming along. Hope you get the wiring issue addressed and back on the road.

 

So have you driven on those STANCE XR coilovers yet? I'm thinking about getting a set. Also wondering how those spring rates are for the street.

 

Looking good and awesome progress. Ive always been a fan/inspired by your white FD. Im liking where your CYM is going

 

Got a new post to the alternator and car finally broken in! I currently at Neptune Speed getting it tuned by Yoshi. I'll load up the result tonight...fingers crossed!

 

I feel lucky to live within an hour of Banzai, looks like they did an amazing job with your engine! And I absolutely love the rest of your build, that CF lip is so sexy. Can't wait to see the end result of this.

 

Excited to see the progress more excited the car has a great owner. I was fearful that someone would shred that car. The day you decide to sell that car drop me a line.

 

what treatment/finish is on the engine block? looks amazing!!

 

Where did you pick up the 140amp alternator?

 

Who did the UIM-LIM & water pump Coating? And what coating is it?

 

Your white FD was super clean! Looks like this one will be too. Keep up the good work!

 

I assume it was done by http://www.swaintech.com/

 

the white one is perfect to me!

 

Jumping on and awaiting an UPDATE

Yellow.... Hmmm, for some reason I seem to really like that color!!

 

It was originally setup to mirror your original build of the CYM with the RP01s let's see how closly it resemebles your existing build when he's done. I believe the new hood looks alot like yours.

 

Yes, it's very tolerable for street. The dampening is nice on the track too. I would say these are very aggressive street coilovers.

The treatment is done by Bonzai...i agree, looks fantastic! Too bad it's so hard to see once everything is in.

This was done by GoodfellaFD3S here on the forum as well.

Couple of parts arrived...

RCCAZ's CYM is definitely rockin' but my is gonna come out a little different with the body pieces i've got coming. Nothing crazy, pretty much everything you see here but with the wider front Feed fenders. still on the fence about getting the rear fenders but then it'll look pretty much like my white one. Anyway, i CANNOT wait to get my car repainted next month to refresh the CYM...I'll keep everyone updated

 

Your old FD is one of the cleanest I've ever seen. Who ever bought that is one lucky bloke. Good luck on the new build. Looks promising. Hope you keep those Advans!

 

Thanks and appreciate the compliments. Was your white car actual FEED or Shine FEED. I loved your white one and have considered the same setup for mine, but go back and forth between keeping the body basically stock versus the FEED kit. Time (and money) will eventually dictate my future choices. Can't wait to see how yours turns out! That Siebon hood looks a little more "Garage S" than Amemiya, but I still really like it! Great choices so far!

 

yeah I agree. This is one of the cleanest FD. just love that color!

 

some updates from recent body work. The CYM screams for a new paint so it's getting a fresh paint job along with body pieces. The rear will be flared ala shineauto ken's car. I think it's still a few more weeks away from being finished...I can't wait!

 

White FD was so clean!! i cant wait to see how you finish this one

 

Wow, lot of nice parts there. Cant wait for more updates!

 

what lip is that? the style makkes me wanna say auto exe?

 

Looking good. Can't wait to see this in person one day
