I thought they'd fixed the bearing issue a long time ago?

 

no idea

but we'll know if you see me post really pissed off on this forum

 

Yeah, he uses a new ceramic bearing now.

 

about 1.45 hours and 24 pages later. WOW! It was worth it, what a magnificent build. Best part it's not over... EPIC.

 

many thanks buddy!!

 

Got damn! Your 7 turned out awesome! Great build!

 

Can you do me a huge favor and measure the circumference of your idler pulley? I'm going to try and make one but i need measurements.... =-)

 

sure thing buddy, will let you know next time i get back to the car

 

Thanks brotha!!!!

 

Just picked up a sweet Kirk Racing Roll Bar for an even sweeter price!!

Should be here in about a weeks time!!

 

^ That was the one on ebay right?

 

yessir!!

got it for a steal!!!

 

How does it mount in the rear by the strut bars? Looks like it does not bolt to the top of the shock towers.

 

They actually go farther back into the spare wheel tools section

check it out:

 

ok she looks nice

but how does this bitch perform ? ?

 

What happaned to the Cusco roll bar you said you had for her ??? Why would you go Kirk instead of Cusco ?



BTW.... Enjoy bolting that bar in.. Your gonna need lots of patience...Hope you have backing plates and hardware for it...

 

I imagine because it doens't have halo bars which suck for street driving.

 

is that installed in your car or is that another car? that thing was a PITA to install but i have the other version..

 

Cusco was the plan

but i started hearing rumors that Cusco roll bars and cages dont comply with SCCA/NASA regulations
I couldnt find a definitive answer anywhere online, so just to be on the safe side i opted away from that
plus i really like the way the Kirk came out in your car man...i like the arms that stretch back to the rear of the car

yup it has all the hardware and backing plates

will probably be calling you for advice when install day comes lol!

 

nope, not installed in my car, just a pic i found on google

bar should be here in about a week or so i'm guessing

its coming from Tri-Point Engineering which is in Cali...so 5-7 days is my guess

 

Wish I could afford the tri-point bar...

 

Got some awesome Full Function Engineering fuel rails on the way!!! and some new ID850s for the primaries, i never really liked the stock secondaries in the primary position

and i had a bit of moment with my car today...
so i was moving some stuff around in my drive way today...and i turned around my car was sitting there like "sup"

so i had one of those moments we all have where we just stand back for a minute and look at our cars

and there were 2 things that really struck me as i was looking at her

1.) How well the URAS bumper was designed as far as functionality goes for cooling. There is still a little bit of ducting i need to make from the middle opening to the v-mount so that its perfect, but its pretty damn good!! and then the oil coolers are really well ducted with just the bumper

2.) The fitment on the wheels is freaking incredible. I'm not sure how the owner of ISS Forged does what he does, but he is a mastermind!!

 

lmao you mean you wish tripoint was more expensive and in your league!!!

ps am i missing something? is tripoint the same as kirk? if not which one do you havE?? lol...


pss those tires are meatttttttttttttty loooking goood

 

lmaoo noo the bar is a Kirk Bar, its just coming from Tri-Point, its not a Tri-Point bar loll

 

So the Full Function Engineering package got here today...

I have to say, dealing with FFE has been an absolute pleasure. Very quick to respond, very informative of all questions/concerns. Definitely one of my favorite sponsors, and their product is nothing short of SUPERB!!

Being around alot of billet parts and seeing alot of parts being made, I have a pretty keen eye from machined parts. I have to say that These parts are very well made. The fit and finish is on point, and there is a great deal of that mechanical sex appeal to these parts.

my verdict on the FFE parts, 100% winning!! if you're looking for parts and they are on your list, forget the rest...these guys are badasses!!!

my box of parts:
-FFE Secondary Rail
-FFE Primary Rail
-FFE O-Ringed injector spacers
-ID850 Primary injectors
-Pigtails for the injectors


PICS!!!
