part out your side skirts. :icon16:

they'll just add weight to the car. lol

beefcake 01-12-08 02:29 AM

you know the hardest thing is actually finding shit to rip or cut out, any tips will be greatly appreciated:cool:

Stanello 01-12-08 03:21 AM

When, or if, you get a cage to run 9s you can gut the doors. There is ALOT of weight in them.

Car looks killer, I like it.

beefcake 01-12-08 04:25 AM

yeh ive done the doors, ripped out all the shit unda the dash, i havnt removed the floor goo yet as i dont really know if the effort to weight saved is worth it, its not like im gonna have a power problem,
The motor in the engine bay at the moment is a dummy block we have set up so all the bolt ons can be sorted too:) , so it aint the built one in there yet

The cage is a definate, safety items are something im not letting slip

puhpaper 01-12-08 05:54 AM

holy shit this car has been TUNED.

Hypertek 01-12-08 09:33 AM

jerd_hambone 01-12-08 09:41 AM

t24todd 01-12-08 09:53 AM

old-school HKS intercooler kit

beefcake 01-12-08 06:55 PM

indeed the pipework was the original setup from japan, it had a hks cooler setup with knightsports turbo, rechipped computer, bigger injectors, os twin plate clutch,tein ha coilovers, re exhuast and mazdaspeed seat, to which i had to sell as me legs went numb after me big ass didnt fit properly:lol2:

Im still waiting for my hks drag coilovers to come in as aparently my suplier has told me that they were on a six month back order becuase they had none in stock:confused:

Oh an thanks for the comments guys, i will keep yous posted and ill do my best to show as many pics of the build that i can, vids will be a definate, dyno an track, and maybee the odd street tyre test:lol2:

Havoc 01-13-08 06:45 PM

willub and company 01-14-08 12:59 PM

not going to lie. i liked it better before you got it. build looks quality though.

stylEmon 01-14-08 01:34 PM


Motec m2r computer
just made my day! is the nos connected the aux inputs? or just run independent?

How do you like the ing expander box?

Car is definetly built to say the least. Post you bill... LOL
The turbo inlet bend scares me...

the m2r is very limited at doing any input or output off the shelf, i have used up all sept one output becuase of wiring the cdi unit, which used all four channells of ignition, the nos im not sure how ill go yet, i dont even know if it will be needed, but the motec can get other channels bought into it, as it is just a m4 downgraded but has all upgrades avail.
And yes the bends on the turbs im a bit stiff about, not the best looking job at getting round a corner, its something im always wanting to get changed
