Finished deleting the ecu and most associated wiring both inside the bay and under dash then rolled her out for a quick wash.
Now I'm waiting on wheels and coilovers/steering angle mods to make any body modifications that are necessary before paint

 

Behold... the cup holder. A rare commodity in the fc world coupled together with a used jdm armrest.
I used gloss black krylon fusion for the new panel and mother's protectant rubber, vinyl, plastic care for the center console and armrest.

 

What cupholder is that? Stock option? I bought a custom aluminum one from LRB speed, best FC mod hands down.

 

The lrb unit is sick! I want to buy their entire catalog lol
This one is 3d printed and the guy who sells them also makes a few other cool pieces.

Dude it's coming along so nicely. Love the Amemiya mirrors and cup holder. It seems to be the best mod as of late haha. What's the status on the motor?

 

Thanks dude, haven't touched the motor since picking up a non-mazda project car. Since the new project car "needs" seats and an external mounted oil cooler... I'm making these changes to the fc:

ls recaro seats -> fia approved bride seats
gsl-se oil cooler -> fc oil cooler
no roll cage to -> 4 point roll bar (minimum) + harness

 

Oh dang it's going to be a track car for hpde?!??
Also for the rear cage setup, you getting it fabricated?

 

Yes to both of those, the car is always going to be focused for street use so a balance is going to have to be made on the cage. Not 100% opposed to a bolt-in though...

 

Found some sweet rear coilovers at the junkyard a few days ago off a bone stock automatic s4, oddly enough the struts up front were original so i left them alone.

-Junkyard rear coilovers- $37.78
-Ebay strut sleeves + springs- $45.95
-Techno Toy Tuning 2" weld on perches- $17.75

=$101.48 for some adjustable ride height goods.
