Ill bet that its going to sound savage!

 

Made some simple brackets for the fuel rail.

 

Starting to look like an actual intake now...

 

 

Some movies, sounds way more aggressive, much bigger difference irl.

 

Before i mounted the itb setup, i modified the exhaust somewhat, to get it to not make my ears bleed.

Improved the Y on the headers, wich wa a heavy, ugly pos hack job, welded with the worst mag welder ever created, and replaced it with just a vband, also made and fitted a vband and compensator to a new muffler, i don't have pictures of the rear muffler, but it is a RB turbo muffler i got from a friend, and it is way better than anything i ever had before.

 

Some videos, before and after. No rear muffler on the befor vids, gave it to a friend who wanted it on his rx8.

 

Got the stock camber link, Toe rods, front swaybar link and rear sway bar link into the computer, considering making my own adjustable ones since it seems like it would be a fairly easy project, and much cheaper (and more fun) than buying the ones available.
I should be able to make all of the rod's for less than the cost of toe rods.

 

Toe link drawn up like all the other aftermarket ones i have seen. But it seems the stock rod is designed to avoid to much of an angle on the balljoints, and this design on the adjustable ones seems kind of lazy and worse than the stock setup.

So i think i want to make my design look more like the stock one than the aftermarket ones...

 

So, last time i used or worked on the car was bavk in 2015, while i was still at college. Decided it was time to get it from storage and start working on it again.

I have gotten a new car to use as a track toy, so the plan is to make the FC street legal so i can get it back on the road.



Have some mjor damage on the entire rear quarter, so im going to think about how to fix it.

Stripped out most of the interior, to fix some rust, add sound deadening and remove old wiring to install the new standalone. Selling my power fc and going to use a Maxxecu, have one in my track car and going to use the same ecu in both cars to keep vost down.

Removed the itb intake i built, not shure what i'm going to do, but the car wont pass "emissions" testing in Norway with modifications. Contemplating converting back to turbo...

 

Removed the harness, going to remove the stock engine wiring and put in the new wiring for the Maxxecu street ecu. + change broken plugs and remove stuff that i wont be using.

 

Soo, just started doing some minor stuff back in 2018 and then bam i met a new girl, and the FC got put on the back burner once again. But now i have moved to a new house and a bigger garage where i finally have room (and heat) to do some proper work without hating life.

The car is up and running with maxxecu, but the entire wiring harness is still a mess, so first job complete the harness and make shure everything is working before wrapping everything in tesa tape.
Also got my hands on some RE Amemiya AW7 wheels and a turbo 2 hood.

 

Glad to see an update! Wheels look good!

 

Thanks, actually getting some time to work on it now, so more updates should be coming more often than every three years.

 

Finished most of the wiring, just need to finish the dash loom before i can mount the dash.

 

Dash back in car, felt good doing something other than wiring. Next step is to do some rust repair and improve some of the rust repair i did previously when i had a lousy welder and zero skill.

 

Started prepping for rust repair and some other sheet metal work. Removed fiberglass fenders and sold them, going to get some stock fenders instead. Also removed fuel tank to be on the safe side while welding in the back og the car.

 

Really looks like you're making some progress so far this year!! Its coming together nicely!

 

Thanks. Hope to have it back on the road this summer.

 

Started by cutting out som rust, cleaned it up a little and made the first patch panel, covered with weld thru primer and ready to weld it in as soon as i get some more garage time.

 

So finally got a few hours in the garage, only managed to weld in a small patch plate, but every little helps..

Not perfect, but good penetration and no holes that i could find.

 

Decided i needed some sheet metal tools to make patch panels, so just finished making an english wheel and stand for a beadroller and shrinker/stretcher.
Also made som wheel stands so i can get access to do some work on the sills, but for now are used as tables for my bandsaw and english wheel.





also cut another piece out of the car, should make for less welding. Since it needs spotwelding instead of butwelding.

 

Started making patch panel for the wall that the inner wheel tub welds to.

 

So i went on the internet and found this 88 T2 with 17000miles on the clock, stock except for s5 taillights, racing beat catback and wheels. Stock exhaust, wheels and taillights comes with the car.

Wont recieve it for another couple of weeks, but unshure what this means for the other one. Might keep it, might pass it on to someone else.

 

Wow, good looking car!
