What size masters did you go with?

 

7/8th clutch/rear 3/4 front

 

I got my radiator and Intercooler Mounted in my engine bay. I still need to paint the engine bay but I want to do that last after I have everything mounted and in their final place. Here are the pictures of my progress:

 

your rx8 has a flat tire...just sayin...

 

I think it will be ok as a Jig

 

So in on this

 

Hi everyone,

I should be having updates coming in daily! Here is my new fuel delivery system. This is the FC-1200 from Aftermarket Industries.





I started playing with the cardboard again!





Here is the FC-1200 installed into my ATL fuel cell.

 

So when Rob and I were looking into these pedals they told Rob that the reverse facing pedals were the "better" option. Did you think about those pedals when you were choosing as well or was it just easier to mount the ones you picked?

That is a pretty baller fuel system. Anxious to go and see this beast in person. #becauseracekar

 

The floor mounted pedals I got are def for short people. LOL I think if you get the pedals that mount up/down it gives you another 4-5" for your legs.

 

You may need to shave now just because you'll have more headroom too

 

awesome build!
throw a spoiler on this thing!

 

I have made some big progress on the car! Here is the finished fuel system and rear hatch.





Here is the video of the completed firewall

Getting my dash all setup along with the electronic's.





I just have the tablet dash just sitting there but it gives you a really good idea what everything will look like.

 

I made a mistake when putting my oil pan on. I did not think of the gap between the oil pan and girdle which caused an oil leak. 30 minutes later my subframe was off the car and I re-Siliconed the pan.

 

Here is some Brapping! I had a fight with my oil pressure at first but I used a FRAM HP1 oil filter and now everything is rock solid.

Sounds Legit

Care to comment more on the oil px issues?

 

I will be happy to! I have the front regulator removed and the rear regulator shimmed 3 times. When I started the engine for the first time with a Wix oil filter it burst the rubber seal on the filter. I then bent two other filter's. It was suggested to me by Carlos Lopez from CLR motorsports to use a FRAM HP1 filter. I got one at the local parts store for $10.00 and it works fantastic! My cold oil pressure 145+ (gauge only goes to 145psi). Once the car is warm and at idle the oil pressure is around 80psi.

 

Mmmmm, brap brap brap!

 

 

Very Nice! When do we get to see some numbers?

 

I remember why I made a EWP controller holder now (the lose wires and velco are fairly annoying)

Rest looks great

 

Final runs for the 8374 IWG before we swap to the 9180.

 

Curious, what head lights you are going with? I want to tube my front end badly but the thought of trying to mount those buckets so they line up like factory scares me.

 

I think I am just going to use a 3 LED bar light that fits in the blinker/running light area as my head lights and either leave the head light covers off the car for big brake ducts. Still thinking on that one.

 

Here is the final dyno run on the car. We ran into issues with the IAT's getting to high. We think a larger intercooler should solve this issue. But regardless we will be switching the 8374 out for the 9180 and swapping out the Adaptronic e440d to the new Adaptronic M2000. If the IAT's are still high we know its an intercooler issue and not the compressor housing being too small. Enjoy the video!
