Well,... Thats a good question.. I was hoping that it was done a year ago.... but I been waiting on parts and such.. and my laziness got me.

I'm now shooting for DGRR 2007.. But I highly doubt that.

And after everything is put on and running, I'll run the car for few months and put this thing on..

Awsome job so far. You are really taking your time to check on everything. Whis I had the same time to invest on mine.

I would like to see some pics of the mounted rare difusser looks pretty clean to have on an FD. Any info on where to get it.

Keep up the great job so far. Can't wait to see it all finished.

PS that differential bar will cause a lot of noise travel I had to take out mine and the car is also finally noise free.

and then you'll run the car for a few months and pull the entire powerplant back out for something that doesn't have a 13 in front of the B, eh?

Sweet thread Phil. I'll have to see your project in person one day. Keep it up! You have another FD to drive, no wonder you're in no hurry....

I bought the MB 1.5 month after blowing the blk FD.. Since then I been too lazy!! I'm telling you, I'm becoming like SPOautos (over 3 years down).

You should come out to DGRR one year.. I also would like to check out your OSSUM FD!

I guess I am part of the reason Phil is not complete. I have been working the rest of his CF and Kevlar setup and have been taking longer than expected. Phil I love the quality of the pics, they do look good. Everything! In a few days you should have the rest of the kevlar AC relocation setup and whatever else I have. Great job man, and the garage is nice. I wish I had room for two also. I am honored to be gracing the lining of such nice FD's. Phil's a good guy and a true rotary enthusiast. Can't wait to see them finished.
