Not yet. Still lacking irons and seals. Will be my last thing to tackle.

Next big item is Power FC.

 

Parts are looking clean along with the engine bay. Cant wait to see her on the street.

 

Won't be much to look at even once it's driving, but it will get there :] Gotta do some work on the FC this weekend to try to dial in the handling a little better for the next Auto-X...will still spend some time with the FD though.

Parts coming soon:
Apexi Power FC
headlight covers
garfinkle engine torque brace
racing beat sway bar brace

 

Looks will come later. Engine, drivetrain and suspension is the main thing and it looks like u are doing just fine with that.

 

If I could get an update, that'd be greeaattttt

 

Gave the exterior a wash


Interior cleaned up and put back together, will have to replace the odometer and fix the cracked gauge hood in the future.


Intercooler duct extension to grab a bit more air but not disturb the radiator flow too much. Just a piece of black ABS riveted to the stock duct.


Made an air diverter, my dual intakes will sit in this area, didn't want the radiator fans blowing directly onto them.

 

Just placed my order with Rotary Evolution for a set of Goopy 2mm seals :]

Next paycheck will go to atkins for all the soft seals...

 

I like the air diverter idea. I have been thinking of doing something like that with mine.

 

More pics,!

 

Y U NO update?

 

He's too busy getting it running.

Have done a lot to the car lately, just haven't had time to update this thread until now.

 

 

No better sound than that. Nice!

 

Engine bay shots now that everything is in there...

 

Damn, looks clean under the hood! I dig the RZ strut bar too .

Dale

 

Yep, one of my favorite parts in engine bay. :] Thanks again, Dale.

 

Looking very good. Glad its up and running.

 

Just a simply nice build! My next one is going to be just like this! I love this build. So clean. Can't wait to see it finished. Hell, this motivates me to build a "stock" FD. Got to finish my current build first though. lol

 

Got some hand me downs from Dale...thanks again!




Got the car aligned recently, the 11 year old tires are getting replaced next.

 

Interior looks better than I would have thought! Trick I learned recently on cleaning old dirty leather - Mr. Clean magic eraser. Cleans it like crazy. Also does a good job on tan plastics.

If the airbag center has faded, remove it and hit it with a light coat of Plasti-dip. Did that on Shannon's car, looks like a million bucks.

Oh, I don't know if the aluminum scuff plates are attached properly there. It's supposed to be rubber well nuts and phillips head screws. I have some if you need 'em.
