Some photo updates -

Purrrrdy


Banzai's oil pan brace


Street port


Don't have time to put everything back so it's heading to a trust local rotary shop to complete the rebuild


ceramic coating goodness


Almost done!


Sakebomb 25row dual oil cooler kit with nylon lines


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

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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!
