Also curious about that LIM... And why there are random other pictures in the post [old Celica/Supra, whatever that model is, the beatup looking car..]

funkjaw 08-09-11 10:25 AM

Maybe he got banned because of what he is doing to that LIM.

TheAbsence 08-09-11 03:15 PM

Was he shortening the LIM so the 20B swap would fit under the stock hood of his FC?

got the 20b running this weekend

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDRCHUXym8w

super exciting

tuscanidream 08-14-11 10:10 PM

Yay!

Umm... No water in your 20beez?! Are you insane!

stevensimon 08-14-11 10:41 PM

I'm not worried. Only a 45 second run but I agree. I should have shown restraint and not twist that key.

funkjaw 08-15-11 02:55 PM

^45 seconds is fine. I would have turned it on too and beat off for 45 seconds then shut it off after I was done nutting.

stevensimon 08-17-11 03:39 PM

i was done nutting at 12 seconds. you sir, have great stamina

stevensimon 09-08-11 03:42 PM

loading her up to take to a fab shop this week for Formula D spec cage install and to finish the few little things left under the hood.

should be plenty of time to get it sorted for the 2012 vegas drift pro-am

tuscanidream 09-08-11 04:01 PM

Be sure to take pictures!

I'm jelous. More doritos = more fun. :p

the bad thing about having a really tight fitting cage is that it doesnt photograph really that well.

also almost finished with vmic

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d5...s/IMAG0036.jpg

ill get better more legit pics up. cell phone isnt hacking it, i see.

stevensimon 11-21-11 06:03 PM

nice 22

stevensimon 11-22-11 12:12 PM

what 22?

stevensimon 11-23-11 10:05 PM

stripped and relocated my body harness today.. well almost got it done today.
what a gross sloppy mess of wire harness and surely one of the biggest eye sores of an fc engine bay.

anyway. picture time

junk pulled off
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d5...s/IMAG0028.jpg

cleaned up harness
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d5...s/IMAG0029.jpg

planning the layout
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d5...s/IMAG0030.jpg

finished harness and showing how much cleaner it looks on the drivers frame rail with all that bs out of the way
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d5...IMAG0031-1.jpg

i wanted to go through the upper frame but after drilling the inner hole, i saw that there is too much metal inside that channel with no easy way to get around it so i was forced to continue to the outside of the rail and then back in through a stock stamped hole
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d5...IMAG0032-1.jpg

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d5...s/IMAG0033.jpg

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d5...s/IMAG0035.jpg

still have to make a bracket for the fuse box and put it near the clutch master. still have to clean or rebuild the charging harness and starter/battery/power harness and then tidy it up.

came out really well i think but it kicked my butt and took the whole afternoon to do.

thanks for watching

stevensimon 11-27-11 05:45 PM

i need to get this thread moved to the build sections..

https://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d...IMAG0036-1.jpg
engine bay finished besides a few little nit picky things. wire tuck is a must for all fc owners.


http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d5...s/IMAG0037.jpg
hung new exhaust today. not quite sure how i feel about it. will probably keep it around for a while though.

stevensimon 12-05-11 04:34 PM

finally finished the exhaust over the weekend. downpipe welded up w/ vband and o2 bung. will post pics later. im stoked to seeing this thing so close to complete.

also my MR2 electric ps pump arrived so need to make a bracket and get some lines done and wire it up. just gotta figure out where i want to stick it.

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d5...n/IMAG0044.jpg

also garage has changed slightly with the addition of another rotary
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d5...s/IMAG0007.jpg

this mild winter makes for a busy homestead
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d5...s/IMAG0013.jpg



waiting for some turbo oil/water fittings to show up then i can finally start driving and tuning the fc.

tuscanidream 01-11-12 03:50 PM

Holy rotaries!!!! :)

sharingan 19 01-11-12 04:47 PM

Pure Awesome!

Love the IC, your v-mount has many similarities to mine. One key difference though, where did you get that AST!?!? I need one bad, as I currently have a jumbled mess of u bends flex hose and screw clamps connecting my thermostat housing to the rad inlet.

Also, this wiretucking business is seeming more and more like a necessity...sigh...more work to do.

stevensimon 01-11-12 04:51 PM

the ast i built.

its a rotaryworks aluminum tstat elbow, 2.5" ic pipe, cut the cap off the radiator and put it on top. welded up hole in radiator.

sharingan 19 01-11-12 05:12 PM

if only I could weld....

Rotaryworks has a similar looking item in their (gawdawful) v-mount kit. I'm surprised they don't sell it sepearately as its probably the only thing of value ....maybe that IS the why? lol

stevensimon 01-13-12 02:12 PM

i think their stuff is ok. maybe for fc guys its ok. i know fd guys are like zomg i have to do work? fuck that, your product sucks. but i mean, you have to think that these cars are over 20 years old by now. a million different variables are in play from car to car, especially when we are talking about things that are supposed to be bolted to the front frame work. maybe their stuff isnt clearanced well or maybe they just have qc improvements to make but still. they sell a lot of budget bang parts that would cost me a ton of time and money to make.. or a little bit of time and money to massage their stuff.

stevensimon 01-15-12 12:07 AM

went to orileys today to get some bits for the fc. ran into some kind of corvette convention. i chuckled at all the 60yo's in c4's.

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d5...n/IMAG0046.jpg

tomorrow i will post my progress. my wallet hurts

banme4it 01-16-12 04:29 AM

Nice car collection. I'm guessing the new FD runs?
