The seat upholstery looks amazing. Did they have to custom make those for you or did they already have a template?

 

Looking good Rich. Which wing is that?

 

Looks great, coming along nicely. Ohhh those Ohhhlins.....

 

I believe he already had a template. If you'd like to get a set done, give Austin a shout

R-Magic Type 1, I believe it's one of two in the country. Super rare, I didn't even know they existed until a few weeks ago

The Ohlins are simply amazing Mike. Totally changed the character of the car. The track will be the true test however

I've been in talks with Sean at A-Spec Tuning out in Chi-town for some time now about the 'next' primo FD single turbo setup (ie 500R take II), and I believe we've arrived at a pretty....interesting.....solution. I'm excited to be a part of this collaboration.

More details to follow

 

We use the stock seat cover as a template and then make adjustments accordingly. There are still some small fix ups to be done on the seats. I only had a time frame of about 4 days from when we received the material to when Rich needed to pick them up for DGRR. Overall they turned out well tho.

Rich's idea for the red behind the perforation turned out really well.

Austin, I may want to do something similar for my '90 vert seats

Plans have changed for the rear wing...... hope to have her out of the paint shop sometime late this coming week

 

Like the wing Rich!

 

God this makes me laugh every time I come back and browse through the pictures.

Great attention to detail as mentioned and I can't wait to see what other goodies you come across.

 

So this build thread hasn't been exactly setting the world on fire lately.....

That's all going to change soon. Wheels have already started moving behind the scenes

Let me just say this: I'm planning to take this car to higher levels than my old VR R1.

A sneak shot of one of the changes I'm making:

 

are you seriosly going to be using apex seals?!

 

Nice... another 20B build.....

 

i thought you were going to build a 20b killer?

 

Me thinks he is trolling. I see through his lies!

 

We shall see. Big plans... I don't believe another street car in the US is running this setup.

 

^^^Daum Rich, did you but the PPRE 6 rotor?? Maybe a viper motor??

 

Lol. Rich, you need to get married and have some kids.

 

4 rotor...?

Any shot of the whole car with that wing? Wonder how it looks with the 99 Spec front.

 

Hmm.. What could this be..

 

Rich, just read through the whole thread, really loving the progress on your car so far!
Mind sharing the specs on the Fikse wheels? both front and rear with offset and tire size.

Loking forward to seeing where this project will be headed!

 

Hybrid...

 

Ton of work done on the car (mainly drivetrain/suspension) over the weekend..... a 9am to 2am kinda day

Don't have many pics, but details to be posted later

 

^^Such a frigg'in tease...

 

in for pics of weekend work.

 

Whats the tease? There was just drivetrain and suspension work done, really.


BTW, Austin, the seats look great. I have seen them in person and they look amazing. The work is top notch. If I wanted to get my seats recovered I definitely know who to go to.

 

+1 on that! I have been tossing around RZ's for years, but man those stock re-covers look very sweet!

Keep up the good work Rich. After our conversation last week, I am really getting some mixed signals...

To 20B or not to 20B.... I guess we will await updates.
