I would kill for a set of gold enkei 92s. Some day ill have the money when a set pops up lol. And those arent the same DF

myfree7 02-07-12 07:34 PM

i bought those for $200 and sold them for about $200.... Enkei started making them again and they aren't too expensive either

clykins 02-07-12 07:54 PM

Theyre remaking them but not in any bolt pattern that does me any good lol.


clykins, if you feel the need to pull your engine and paint the bay, i can be of assistance! lol. Im hoping to some day see your full restoration car show up to one of our meets =)

clykins 02-08-12 10:40 AM

Me too. I'd love to see your ride in person.

Very nice work! Great looking car!

FunK73 02-12-12 06:07 PM

great work! what a project that look to be.

FunK73 02-13-12 05:27 PM

Just a quick update:

I got the sway bar all sorted out. Just needed to have a tap run through it to clear out the powder coat in the threads. Good as new!

Also got the wheels ready for paint!

FunK73 02-22-12 04:50 PM

Got a few more things done as well. According to the extended forecast spring is onlye like 2 weeks away as well, yay!

Wheels got all finished up, just waiting for the paint to cure so I can give them their final polishing

Picked up a couple more things this weekend...

http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...65884038_n.jpg

Traded a plexi-glass roof and some cash on the side for the authentic glass roof and a mint rear Mazda Badge to replace my broken one. Yay for Factory Option Parts!

You know what they say.......

Once you go boost........

You never go back :D

And thank you. I have been working on my car for about 8 years. It just takes time (and money) to get it where you want.

Sweet car man! When and where in bloomington do you meet? I have yet to meet anyone with an FB in the TC. You should come out and autocross although with the 13B in there you would be in a modified class. And are you the white FB parked in the driveway on 55 near rainbow foods?

FunK73 03-01-12 08:12 PM

Oh bloomington meet is at Sonic Drive In, right off American Blvd and Penn

FunK73 03-02-12 07:53 PM

Well thanks to the forecast being in the 50s and 40s for the next two weeks, my patients, or lack there of, has gone. Its out!

Already got my short throw in, as well as the glass roof!

http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...92828588_n.jpg

I also have a new fuel pump, a holley red, on its way here as well.

DreamInRotary 03-02-12 09:00 PM

Congrats on the progress so far Funk! As you know I'm chest deep in my own little mods (which I will also eventually post up here in the build section when I get enough pics and such). I've had the rotary itch lately and cannot wait to get her out and running.

So dumb question, where's everybody gonna auto-x this summer??? I've been watching videos the last couple of days after I read this thread that listed HERE. So I'd like to meet up with some of you guys and have a little FB auto-x day, keep me in the loop!

FunK73 03-06-12 05:11 PM

Just been pluggin away on the parts! So far the short list is:

Shirt Shifter
Glass Roof
New Rear Emblem
Koni Yellows in the Rear
Rear RacingBeat Sway Bar
Re-Speed Front Sway Bar
First Oil change and wash! =D
And I test fitted the spoiler

I also picked up my new fuel pump. For those of you thinking of using the Carter set up, I URGE you to go with the Holley Red

82transam 03-07-12 08:57 AM

Looking good! I agree about the carter fuel pump, that thing is WAY too loud.
