Wow. Nice job on the rims! I'll be interested to hear what you think of the coilovers.

 

Will do when I get them BUT from what I hear from some local FC friends; they are great!

 

wow nice thread. and really good job on those wheels, takes a long time i know.

 

Got my rubber in today..........

235/40 up front
255/40 in back

Hope they stick well. The reviews on these were great and I looked around FOREVER.

 

nice man !
get them on the rims installed on the car and have pics tomorrow ! jk

 

Murray get on ur job this used to be a well updated thread.

 

soon................

 

UPDATE:

So this post may be a dick tease BUT I am still awaiting my coilovers from BC racing to arrive. I had a month dalay due to there provider having to ship from Japan. Needless to say it took some time, tested my patience and soon I will bear fruit!

I did however get the skin put on my wheels. I really wish I would have researched some more in regards to WORK redesigning the Equips. I personally like the re-designed ones better BUT don't get me wrong...these things are f*cking sick in person. I just think the center 5 spoke is a wee bit on the small side(diameter) compared to the elongated spokes on the newer Equips.

Never-the-less
(please excuse the shitty phone-pic...my wife lost our camera)






I also purchased some MMR Rear Camber Adjusters and have them installed awaiting final adjustment.

I have almost been acting as a liaison for disgruntle past customers to MMR due to these breaking. I have resolved some issues with MMR in regards to customer service and they have given me insight to improvements on the product due to customer reports. Keep in mind most breaks are from improper torque/installation.... I hope and time will tell

I will have pic's of the FC on the ground when I get my coilovers next week ASAP.






I also have been researching water injection the last month and have decided to go the AUX INJ route. I just purchased a Snowperformance stage 1 boost kit with some extra special goodies AND tweaks brainstormed by myself .
I will be running the system POST-turbo right after my Greddy Pop-off valve. It WILL be a 50/50- water/meth mix BUT IT IS ONLY FOR knock protection and cooler AIT charge. I do not feel the need to push this motor to its limits and just am really convinced of the longevity and safety margin AUX INJ offers....so no 24 psi boosting or anything like that lol.

Pics of the system install will be posted soon.

 

whats up buddddddy , nice wheels "(cough!) I am hating! (cough)"good to see you are doing some progress I will be starting another car soon dont know FD or FC yet but soon

 

Damn finally, this was a dick tease of an update though lol.

 

heyyy bloody buuuddddyyyyy, thanks man...I do love the Equips. They have a lot of sentimental value now since I worked my *** off to get them this nice.

You should go the route BASTARD took.......N/A 20B FC. I look forward to seeing whatever you choose. I hope you are safe and pray for you and your commrades safety everyday man. I hope you get some time behind the wire as well to enjoy a little R&R in that **** hole of a country.

Told ya lol I am very very excited to get the FC on the ground...I am almost going through withdrawls

 

Found my damn camera so here are some pics in high qaulity

I also forgot to mention that back in November before I got the itch for new wheels I decided to install a Black Energy Suspension bushing kit and a Racing Beat Front sway bar. I installed all the bushings except for the rear lower contol arm WHICH worked out to my advantage since you CAN'T have the MMR rear camber adjusters installed unless you have the factory bushing installed OR a sperical bushing since polys will not budge causing binding issues

Gave me a chance to clean up down there too...................





** little tip here for anyone going to install E.S. Bushings for the rear sway bar endlink: You have to install the top bolt inboard-to-outborad or it will hit your body pinch weld



Here are the MMR rear camber adjusters installed on the car. They adjust ON the car btw......



Since I was in a polishing mood with the wheels my Mothers Alum Polish found its way to my compressor housing too


and the intercooler piping ( I need to start working on cleaning up the damn clutter in my engine bay)....

 

Wheel Shots

closest "on the car" shots I can give you for now

Think I should put them on the Wife's Rouge.....

 

wow much better than the last, less talk more visual.

 

^talk about ungrateful.

This progress is awesome, very excited here.

 

damn, i think you have the coolest s4 i've ever seen. love the wheel restoration. love the color. awesome attention to detail and cleanliness.

 

Thank you. Your compliments are appreciated and keep me motivated.

Haha, no worries, he is just anxious like I am awaitng on these coilovers.

Thank you too!

 

Love the Work Equips & the rest of the car looks good.

 

^talk about ungrateful.

This progress is awesome, very excited here.

^^Really, okay whatever you say there captain.



Anyway Murray good series of updates since this thread went cold.

Also just checked out BC racing those coilovers have a pretty refreshing design that i thought was really thought provoking and an awesome price for that matter.

Get this thing on the ground already, wanna see complete susp. and footwork overhaul pictures and video.

Equips look really nice too, good job bringing those back to life.

 

Hey murray, was lookin thro ur thread, and didnt see anything as to y ur running 2 bovs
can shine some light on this, very interested, im running the ssqv, but still get surge
does running these two help that?

 

I have tricked you bro lol. I am only running 1 blow off valve which is the SSQV. The blue Geddy vavle is a pop-off valve OR over-boost valve. Simply put; it is set to a certain PSI to open, I have it set at 19psi so if I ever overboost this mechanical failsafe comes into play ( I also have electrical failsafes not to mention water injection very soon).

Really the only reason I bought it was my original 40mm WG couldn't hold 14psi and would boost beyond 18.5 psi so I switched to a 50mm and it holds great. The .82 A/R of my turbine AND the shitty Greddy exhst cast mani make for really poor exhaust flow. I would like to go to a better exhst manifold next year, most likely tubular.

 

i was gonna ask somemore questions, but im not gonna thread jack lol

car looks great!!! coming along great

 

PM me if you have any questions

 

here u go murray

gonna get a bigger IC
and a pic of the new turbo

oh and i have a greddy COMP tube now too

 

Thanks man and like I said that is optimal position.


Here is a little sneak peek, BC's came in today




More pics tomorrow with the FC hopefully dialed in......
