dude tell me you didnt actually spend full retail price on those HREs!! you never ever spend full retail on wheels, always call to a proper dealer or distributor...any HREs (18 or 19) inch from a proper dealer or distributor are 5500-6000 tops for all 4

hell i just did a set of HRE 560r for a BMW X6M for a buddy of mine

those were 22x10 front and 22x13 rear...did that wheel set up with Dunlop SP Sport Run Flat tires for 7500 bucks total!!!

if you paid 2300 bucks per wheel you should try and get some money back or somthing i duno man

 

Are you changing the headlights?

 

I didn't think you could actually get a bolt through the oil injector holes deep enough to cause damage. What code 20b did the housing come from? If it was a earlier 20b, possibly.... the weaker castings in the housing were a factor? Just food for thought...


What sub frame did you go with?[/QUOTE]

the housing where brand new 13brew housings dowel pinned ported and externally polished for the bling (under the hood only) the hole for the oil injectors isnt big enough. the bolt acatually distorted the housing and pushed the internal part to get pushed in towards the rotor. as far as the subframe it came from rotary specialties(rotaryengine.com) in Calgary AB same as the motor.

sadly i did pay retail but after themodcity.com took my money and never gave me my wheels I was willing to go through a reputable that everyojne knew to make sure i got them. I called vivid racing placed an order and had them in two weeks. yes they were pricey but i got exactly what i wanted and got it FAST!! sadly you have to pay out the nose to get people to do what they are supposed to I suppose.

no I will keep the evo r headlights I'm pretty happy with them nad the price was reasonable too. I'm also exctied because I was able to hide my sensors for radar and laser detector in the housings too!

 

sweet build

 

finished putting the motor and turbo into the car and just got the rear end and axles in as well.

 

BASTARD.

 

I thought I would post a few pics and show whats going on at my buddys shop and my car as it moved up there.


got the samberg subframe


intercooler piping complete the hot side is ran along the frame rail under the car. body harness is in the process of being tucked.


a few other cars my fd is in the end the first is a hefner ford gt with twin turbo setup

the second is a twin turbo gts. Kind of neat I thought.


and of course Tugg the golden doodle shop dog.




I should have more pics of the magnum t56 trans going up this week

 

okay so I'm still waiting on the t56 from the machine shop but the magna flow fuel pump and the intank sump. I also decided to keep the 1680cc secondaries and a set of 1300cc secondaries from a local company called Deatsch werks. They are definetly worth checking out great injectors and great prices as well great quality. deatschwerks.com.

 

Man that car is gonna be nuts, what kind of mpg's you think your gonna get when your all setup like 10?

 

on e85 I dont know but I think having a six speed will definetly help If I get 13 I will be happy.

 

So I'm thinking of adding the shine auto street diffuser but I dont know if it will work because the quarter panels are modified with the pettit flares. does anyone know if it will work or will I have to modify it to fit?

 

It depends on how far they blended the flares down....it mounts where mud flaps would. U can make it work

 

its been a while but I have some updates on the car so I thought I would share some pictures. These peices were covered in road grime from 20 years here is what they looked like when Chip from Chips Motorsports got ahold of them






all new bushings and boots and bearings! coming soon new shock absorbers and springs

 

Good stuff here. Is the drivetrain done or still wrapping things up? That purple looks like PowerFlex bushings? I installed the full setup on my car and really like them. Quality.

 

I also want to say that this build is easily top 5 on the club. Very anxious to see some numbers!

 

it will be some time till I'm able to post some numbers jsut doing it a bit at a time when i can afford to. but its getting there.

 

drivetrain is not done doing the t56 and cobra 8.8 bit by bit.

 

car is for sale if anyone is interested. time to move on to something has a decent amount of aftermarket support and doesn't kill the bank account with very little returns to show for it.

 

How much?

 

make an offer. its a rolling chassis at the moment. with new interior heated leather seats blue tooth and nav with most of the interior pieces are brand new new old stock pieces from mazda parts. it comes with a manual conversion rack from chips motorsports and all the suspension pieces are installed with a stoptech big brake kit and HRE wheels 255 in the front and 335 rear Michelin ps2 the wheels and tires alone were 10k. the motor is at chips in Michigan un assembled with all new housings and new old stock irons including the center iron
