the next step this winter will be to get the car out of storage and back to the house. from ther ei need to replace the lower intake manifold. it has a jspec one on there now and i want to convert it back to usdm specs. while thats off, i plan to pull the turbo and send that out to be rebuilt.. i will provide plenty of pics when that project begins!

doing well! i've had teh car out once this summer andthe smoking is getting a bit worse. there was some hesitation so i'm going to seafoam it.
the next step is to have the turbo rebuilt and when doing so, replace the lower intake manifold and gasket. currently i have a jspec lim on the engine as the engine is a jspec ebay special. i couldnt pass it up for $600. it runs well but the idle is high and i want the car 100% bone stock so the aspec manifold will have to go on

A 10th AE in the snow - looks awesome!
I love the builds and restora
tions that have extremely high OEM parts content. Yes, it can be expensive, but brand new parts and making the car look like it did over 20 years ago makes these cars look fantastic. I completely respect these projects and I wish there were more of them out there.

I never thought I would drool so much over a stock car. Your photos seem like really amazing brochure shots 
I seriously cringed at the initial photos but you've done amazing work here. It is so cool to see such dedication and progress.
You make me proud of rotary owners and give me hope for my efforts! Thank you so much for sharing!
