So Your gasprices dropped too
A few monts back a liter of 95 Octan was 11.50DKR - Yes that is 7.3USD/Gallon

 

I don't know how you guys do it. That's insane.

 

nice!

 

i want those flush-mount headlight? how much is it?

 

to bad you custom made them id kill for a set .

 

I finaly got my rear brakes now, this are brakes from a volvo s60r.
The disks are 330x28mm and 4 piston aluminium calipers.

 

Tok appart the rear axle again today, ordered new parts for it that should come in tomorrow.

So here you have a picture of how the driveshafts looked like after a run with slicks and 1,2 bar in boost.



and also two pictures where i compares the old rear brakes with the new ones

 

I just read through this whole thread. I am wildly impressed and will be using this as a reference when i start trying to build up my FB.

 

Thanks

Just I'm open for questions as well

 

Got the driveshafts installed in my rear axle today.. The new driveshafts are "fully floating" which means that the driveshaft are'nt in one piece with the wheel hub as they are in a normal rear axle.
On this axle, the driveshafts are built with splines in both ends, both in the differential, and in the wheel hub.

Here there is a picture of all the parts together.


The most shiny parts here are the brackets that i have to use to put the new wheel hub on to the rear axle.


Here you have the new wheel hub, and if you look on the inside of it, you'll se that it has splines on the inside


Ready for assembly


The new driveshaft on its way in.


Here the driveshaft is in its place, the bog washer you se in the end of it here is for preventing it for moving in to the axle.


Here it is finished, the blue cap in the end is for preventing the shaft for moving out from the axle again. The cap is held in place by a locking ring.


And then, finalt the brake disc is also mounted to the axle.

 

thats a sweet rear axle dude!

 

thank you

 

I found them on this website. They are carbon louvers that you would just rivet or bolt onto the hood.

I am speechless. This build is by far the most comprehensive I've seen done on a first gen. Simply incredible. I can only imagine the money that was dropped into that car. Im in the process of doing something close to my car, but with more creature comferts then yours. And Ill be sticking with a 13bTII and a gls rearend.
You ready to start making that whose widebody peices to ship state side yet? I need to get myself a xmas gift.

 

Any chance that you can get those side skirts done in something more economical, like maybe some fiber glass?

 

Thanks.. Gsl rearend is no problem when you're going for the 13btII engine..
I love the first gen body..

I'm making fiberglas parts for sale now, if there is any interest for them, but when coming to the sideskirts, i have made them out of aluminium, and not CF.

 

Got the front brakes from England now, so here are some pictures of how they look on the car, looking forward to see how the braking capability will be on the car now. The brakes measures 335x32 and are fitted together with a Alu 6 pot caliper.

The front brakes is from Hispec, deilivered by AtomicRex in UK.

With those brakes, I hope you upgraded your helmet's visor...

...or your eyeballs may fly out.

 

Haha, I have solved that problem already.. Just closes my eyes to keep them in, and hopes everything goes well

 

WOW!!!! Thats a definate upgrade.

 

The rear brakes are also mounted on to the car now. Comming with a update within a few days with some more pictures.

Also doing som upgrades with the oil system this days, and the rear hatch is getting some layers of clear coat

 

i know it sounds lame but id kill for a over lay 1/4 panel out of carbon fiber. my drivers side is messed up from a blown out tire. and some stock carbon fiber fenders.

 

Sorry, but i dont have any molds for the stock fenders.
If i had, i might could make some fenders for you, but not at this time, to much to do with my own car before the snow dissapears

 

its ok i wouldnt have the cash for a long time any ways. but thank you for being so nice. ive been having a shitty week. dislocated my jaw yesterday on my b day then 2 day this old guy at my work back in to my rx8 .hopefully i just need the rear bumber painted and new clips for the wheel well(sp?) and exhaust area. any ways iam not paying lol.

cant wait to see more pics. if i ever get over seas i wantto make my way to your neck of the woods just to see it in person, and hear a 20b inperson.
