I did not get the Corolla. The guy I was meeting in Duluth turned out to be a crackhead. The car had no side mirrors and overheated. Would never had made it down the street. So I passed.

Was a long 6 hour driving day.

Instead I picked up an Rx8 for a reasonable deal.

Bringing it to my house tomorrow.

I'll post pics up once I get caught up with school and house work.

Adapter plate... I will let peeps know once I get it in the mail .

 

Finally got my lighting and heating in the garage finished. Need to get another rack for storage and a larger workbench then I should be good to go for the winter .

 

Need to get motivation to finish cleaning my garage before the FD gets back :/

 

So smaller update.

Finally got my garage to the point I can bring my FD home. This means before it arrives I need to finish insulating my garage (ceiling).

I am having issues with the transmission setup I plan on using. Guy who is making it is taking his lovely time. Said it was going to be shipped out on Monday 4 Mondays ago.

The plans for this winter are now as follows:
remove the rx8 engine and push the rx8 on the side of my garage,
remove sound deadening from my fd (using dry ice),
spray the interior with lizard skin (sound deadening and ceramic coating),
sand down my fd and get it prepped for paint,
shave the engine bay,
mock up my 20b in the engine bay,
start wiring my car up (using the leash electronics relay board),
wire in my Dash2 pro,
wire in my ecu,
decide whether to run dry sump or just keep the regular modified oil pan setup,
pick and order the headlights I want to run,
order my rear carbon hatch and lexan window piece,
wait for my CraftSquare mirrors (eta 5-6 months),
get more money,
spend more money,
still be indecisive on what I want to do,
order seats and brackets,
be more confused on what I want to do,
Talk with my buddy Lou to determine if I should run the V160 trans,
Complain about the wait time on my parts,
possibly stop complaining,
Hopefully sell more parts to fund my complaining hobby,
I think that is it?


Thanks for tuning in. I will get some pics up later this week.

Weekend post update.

So the news so far is as follows:
going to be selling my SSR SP1 to a fellow FD owner up north. Picking up another 20B. Finally finishing with my garage organization, and then relaxing .

Will post pics of my garage before/after.

Stay tuned. Going to be a lovely Spring

 

So after many months of waiting, I finally received my 20B to G35/350Z transmission adapter kit.




That is all for now. I will post some pics and vids of when I get around to modifying the Z transmission.

Thanks for looking

I will be opening a new thread for my other FD. This one is going to be put to rest in memory of my first FD. :-D.

 

Quietly wonders why this strange bearded man knows so much about him and his 20b build..
