Found this picture going through my computer from one of the last photoshoots i did of my car with a buddy of mine...

Re-editted it since i learned alot since then...i sure miss having my baby on the road, cant wait to get back behind the wheel!!

 

finally some movement!!

Been polishing away now and i think i've gotten it looking pretty good

got a little half and half shot for you guys

also got my Full Function Engineering LIM Adapters for the secondary injectors
these things are awesome!!
they've got an o-ring around the outer edge and comes with a set to put on the injectors themselves
very good quality setup!

 

Wow man that looks amazing. Its crazy how sexy this car is even when its stock and an older car.

 

got some more polishing work done, threw in a little before and after of the turbo housings

now just need to polish out the alternator, throttle body, and elbow

also i finally got my wing pedestals!!

also, heat management is everything in rotaries so i got some turbo blankets and hose heat shields for the oil return lines and OMP lines

 

Too much win to list here !!!!

 

The pics show the completed polishing? Because it looks to me like you are only about 25% done.

 

I just gave up lol...I went in like oh ye this **** is gona be a mirror...3 days, 4 burns, all the Pac and Biggie albums later...I said this is fine LOL

i'll pay someone to do it perfectly when the car is running and all

btw this is the last time i'm ever polishing parts lol

 

Why do you think i decided to go with color instead? lol

 

Once you get the car running its going to be be hard to put her down and remove all those parts to get them polished, tell your sponsors not to be cheap, and get them polished professionally.

 

i burnt through all the sponsor money already man

lol thank god that i dont need to buy anything else except for little odds and ends cus i'm not down to come out of pocket anymore

 

finally got some more work done!!

Got my injectors in...a fresh set of Five-O Injectors "Silver Bullets" 2200cc flow-matched injectors

getting these mounted properly is basically whats been holding me back from bolting everything back together

had to fab up some brackets from some aluminum...They arent the prettiest things in the world but they'll do the job just fine

i also would like to throw in that the Full Function Eng. o-ringed spacers are absolutely awesome!!
awesome fit and the customer service was great!! definitely recommend them to everyone

 

Why not just run the FFE fuel rails?

 

I would assume it is because of $$$$$$$

 

What fuel rail are you using ?
I have KG rails and they don't bolt up like that....

Why do the upper O rings look like they deformed on you ?

 

No FFE Rails cus i really need to stop buying parts, and just finish the car lmao

The rail came with a complete fuel system that i bought from someone here on the forum

That blue ring seal thing isn't the "real" seal of the fuel rail to the injector extender
that blue ring was on the the extender when i got them, so i just left them on there...the injectors sealed completely bottom and top

i guess those blue seals are just an extra precaution or something...not really sure...but i figured the more things sealing the better lol

 

heres what the injectors look like

the only thing is i changed the upper o-rings to some bigger ones provided by Five-O to seal with the fuel rail

 

looks great VJ!

 

got a little something something done today...

put on the LIM with the injectors and ran the fuel plumbing for the most part

also put Thermo-Tec Cool It over the OMP lines and the fuel line that leads from the primary to secondary rail.

That should keep the OMP lines from melting against the block

 

Youre taking forever now MR!!!

 

i'll be working on her for the next 2 days straight cus i dont have school so should see some significant movement!!

 

looks good so far!

 

keeping the rotor alive i got i think i can too from a new-be im on it

 

got some more work done

setup the rest of the fuel system, and clocked the turbos to the right positions

i must say its starting to look reallyyyyy interesting!!!

also, we got a nice visit from one of my buddies down here, he brought his new car to get setup with some proper ISS Forged wheels!!!
hes also doing a full restoration on it...should be beautiful!!

 

Got some more work done this after noon

Finally got my tires!! Continental ExtremeContact DW
Front: 265/35/18
Rear: 295/35/18

they aren't my first choice at all, but they were basically the only ones that were on back order...it was either these or Nitto Invos, but the Invos are sad excuses for performance tires.

I've heard good reviews, but i'll definitely be swapping these out for some proper BFGoodrich KDW2 and then the Toyo R888 for the track


swapped out the pulleys with the new Touge Factory units. They really are awesome. Lightweight, brings the alternator pulley and water pump in the smaller stock sizes, and then the crank pulley is smaller and lighter...and it comes with a power steering pulley!! super sick kit and decently priced as well!!
I put some comparison shots so you guys could see

also did the turbo blankets on the twins they're finally ready to into the car for good!!!!

 

Where are the rims you are mounting the tires on?

Also, why would you buy new tires only to replace them shortly after?

If the car is not running yet then what is wrong with waiting for the tires to be back in stock? or just get them from a different source.
