I went big to be safe, so I can drive hard when I want 2! But yes, this last summer my buddy did the Road coarse at BIR with his STI and it looked like so much fun def want to do that next year, I also will do some Dragging with it just to see what it can run once I am all done with it And now that I have the the last of the essentials, the next step is Fuel system upgrade and then single turbo

 

Hey Shawn your car is lookin good, I like the way you are goin w/ the build. Sure are doin alot better job then the last owner! I was wondering tho... what you are planning on doing for ducting on the v-mount ? I never got around to getting mine done and if you do yours soon i might have to steal your idea.
Keep up the good work Shawn cant wait to see her on the streets... Eau Clarie or BIR.

 

Thank you!!

Iv been thinking about what to do for the ducting.. I have my new bumber now so I can start coming up with ideas! im kinda Lacking in the tools department for fabricating things also so I need to figure out what I need for that...

 

Man you have done quite a bit to your car. If I get rid of my wife I might be able to do the same. Keep it up though.

 

Lol and thank you!!

 

You made a good choice on the oil cooler kit

Please please PLEASE get rid of those headlights. Please.

 

Hahahahahaha! in Due time I promise I am getting rid of them!

 

I cant wait for the rest of the setup

 

this seems like alot for your first turbo car..

 

Go home or go big is my saying


Honestly I owned a scion TC before this and never picked up a wrench before this car

 

Pulled the twins.... That was not fun at all lol






Trash lol!

 

Hard work accomplished!!



How the hard work got accomplished




ha

OMP off!!




getting cleaner but not quiet there!







My <3 lol

 

Nice garage, can you keep it warm during the winter? Beer, music, chairs. All you need is a lake under the garage so you can go ice fishing!

 

Hahahah right that would be awesome lol, Yea I have a 200000 BTU propane Heater. Seems to do a good job but will see what happenens when its negative 40.

 

Well if you got an insulated garage I hope very good warm things happen at -40. But I feel sorry for your propane bill. What is that, like $20 an hour to heat it?

 

Na I use like a little tank that lasts at least 10 hours or more and thats only 20$ to fill at the gas station just down the street. It takes less then 10 minutes to heat up the whole garage then I just shut it off, garage stays warm for a good hour or 2.


The garage is about 3/4 insulated lol me and my roomate are probly going to finish it off but will see ha

 

Dang that sounds nice. Even using a flower top heater I can burn through a whole propane cylinder in 8 hours and not even get the garage hot, just warm enough to prevent frostbite. That's good enough for me though. Alcohol will take you the other 50% of the way to warm. I was living in Alaska for 3 years before Japan BTW

 

idk I dont think I could bare being that cold, my hands are are numb enough from smashing my fingers on stuff hahahah. Thats pretty awesome I wanna make it up to alaska one of these years I have some relatives out there.

 

The Pain, The horror! lol here is a pic of my buddys FD with a RB26 getting put in, he just couldnt sweat the Rotory!

 

You're my inspiration lol. I hope t find a gem like you did and take the same route. I wouldn't dare put a rb26 in a mazda. It isnt a true 7 without the rotary.

 

Thank you very much!

 

^ +1 ^

Great to see all the work your doing, pretty amazing considering you have never wrenched before. Good job!

 

looking good!

 

Its kinda like riding a bike once you start, you just get better every time you ride it, and if you fall well thats what the forums are for
