Mac's FC "Build" Thread

It came like that when I got the car, haven't come across a cleaner one at the junkyard yet.
205/50/16 front
225/45/16 rear
The pulley came from Japan2la, its made for the fd but fits perfectly on the ford taurus alternator.
Its an older buddy club seat that came out of my buddies parted out s14. He's a skinny dude and couldn't find any buyers skinny enough to fit it so he sold it to me for dirt cheap.
I first tried using duplicolor black fabric paint but it faded after 4 months. Hopefully going to try and dye it black.

Got a free a/c fan for my s2k radiator, came off of my other buddies s2k so it bolted right up and seems to be pushing enough to keep the car cool. Also remembered that there is no thermostat in the car, picking one up tomorrow and see how my car cools. According to my temp gauge the car is running wayyy too cold.

That fd alternator was too much to deal with, especially going to car meets and having to get out of there before my car died. I didn't want to seem like 'ricer' and rev my car to 6k to turn on the the alternator haha. So far the taurus alternator seems to be working fine, I'll see for sure when I start putting real miles on it.
For your temp guage where is it staying at? mine has never crossed 1/4.

The water neck bolt snapped while pulling it out, tried so many ways to get it out. Ended up drilling through it and running another bolt. Such a nice way to waste 3hrs and not finish installing my thermostat. Tomorrow again!

For sure, atleast right now I feel comfortable trusting it, maybe trusting it too much. Looking around for a temp gauge as we speak. And thanks man, will definitely chime in when you get that build going.
Winner! Thanks for clearing that up.

Taken note of. I just drilled it through and ran a bolt and nut for now. Need to find a screw tap so I can run studs, but the car needs to be running so I did what I did.

Finished throwing in the tstat today, let the car idle for 15min and no overheating or anything. Car runs so much smoother when car is up to temperature.
Stocker gauge approves...
Had my buddy snap a pic of my engine bay. Relocated coolant bottle and battery since last update.
