My buddy did it on his turbo integra years ago, I'm gonna try it and see what happens. I figured I'd give ya an idea, lemme know if anything else comes to mind

minusdarkslide 03-05-16 01:53 AM

Some maintenance items (LEDs, speedo cable, OMP plate...) and DTSS eliminators.

Does anyone have experience with the fit/finish of Origin Aero kits? I'm really liking the Origin Stream for my FC.

minusdarkslide 03-14-16 07:32 PM

Finally put tires on my wheels and the wheels on my FC. I need aero real bad!

Stuff for the turbo addition is still piling up. I read that the Klotz Benol is good for an E85 premix.
-walbro 450
-fuel line/gauge/filter (10micron)
-manifold/turbo gaskets
-chrome and gold vinyl
-NRG steering hub adapter
-super ridiculous custom steering wheel on order

I also acquired some Schroth 6-pointers. So, now I'm in search of seats, brackets, harness bar...

It's crazy how things add up.

I'm working on stripping and polishing my drift spares today. This is NOT fun.


https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...e420360405.jpg


https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...be1f5c3f8b.jpg

I've found that 3 to 4 applications of the stripper is needed to get the wheel completely naked.

Use eye protection and wear long sleeves, as the brushing away of old material flings the stripper onto exposed skin.

I'll post a photo of a polished wheel later on today.

I like that wheel . Old style blocky looking . Are you polishing the face also or just the lip

I'm hoping to polish as much as I can. I'm about 3/4 of the way done. The lips and faces are getting pretty shiny.

minusdarkslide 03-31-16 08:58 PM

So far...


https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...57404af508.jpg

It took about 20min per wheel to get them to this point. I'd like to hit them a few more times, in hopes of really bringing a good shine to the surface.

unek87 03-31-16 10:02 PM

That look pretty damn good almost a machine finish right now

minusdarkslide 04-08-16 08:06 AM

Shites getting eliminated! And differential is getting welded!

Slave labor. My daughter, helping me with my alternator pulley.

I love driving this car around!

Sealed with Ultra Gray, filled with random gear oil and ready to go back in.

minusdarkslide 07-17-16 10:34 AM

Got this made for me, by Driftwood Wheels. #RotarytheWorld is the hashtag for my build on Instagram.

Also, my oil seals went out, so I've been mulling over engine options for a while. It is decided that I'm going to take my n/a S5 motor to GarageLife in LA. I'm hoping that they can build and tune it for a responsive 300 wheel torque.

minusdarkslide 07-18-16 08:51 AM

Started removing engine stuff. That fan is huge!

I thought that I had it all figured out. Then, I changed my mind.

This is my daughter, unwrapping my new 13B rew! I bought it from an importer on eBay.

Let's throw a single turbo on it and see what happens!

minusdarkslide 08-12-16 09:03 PM

It's ridiculous how convoluted the stock twin setup on the FD is.

https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...2d827fd8fc.jpg

The Duraflex Bsport came in from Extreme Dimensions!

Due to the poor availability of decent side-feed injectors, I'm switching to top-feed. I ordered these from Banzai. They were inexpensive and shipped quickly.

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...9115d7f529.jpg

As I love chewy Spree, I also ordered a 4lb bag on Amazon. Also, satisfied.

This car sucks. Needs more vinyl. I'll send you some.

minusdarkslide 12-06-16 02:04 PM

Austin, you finish your raggedy piece. I'll worry about mine. Then we can meet in Texas and destroy them together.

I'm such a procrastinator. I've had no motivation.

I ordered an fd to fc crossmember from Angel Motorsports. I believe that they actually have it made by Street Faction. Apparently, it takes 3 months to make, powder coat and ship a measly crossmember. I'm a little pissed.

79fbmjg 12-08-16 10:38 PM

Car looks great keep the updates coming.

nbjeff 12-09-16 05:56 PM

Awesome Build dude, looks like you do everything properly and can't wait to see the progress.
