Finally got around to taking some pics of my freshly painted car with the 99spec kit. Like to give thanks to Joe from Classic Auto for his awesome paint job; Dave, Johnny, and Wayne from Mazdee's for all the engine work; and Jim from Rotary Dynamics for his Intercooler and piping (and for putting up with me)

I've seen this car, the color is incredible.

 

Looks good, just needs some rims.

 

Awesome. Now lets get it tuned Can't wait to see what the turbo puts out!

 

Yah, I've been waiting for them from FDNewbie for like 8 months now...

Yah, I can't wait either. I was at Jo's Dyno this week doing some afr tuning so I could get boost out of them and the dyno said I tuned it to 320 rwhp at 14 PSi. It was running really rich since I don't wanna risk anything before Brian comes and tunes it.

BTW, how's your trip going? Are you guys back yet?

Got back late last night. Had a small set back and never actually made it to the Keys but made it to Tampa and Daytona Beach.

6000km in one week! Lots of driving. It was awesome.

Just be careful with your ignition. For some reason my A/F are all a point rich now. Runs really rich. Not sure why. It can stay that way till it gets tuned again.

 

Miles away from what i saw at shannonville last year.

 

Here's a before photo in case anyone was wondering

It looks even better in person! I took a quick peak at it when it was at Mazdees the other day, very good job on the paint work!

 

Yes. ClassicAuto does beautifull Work!

 

what did it cost u to paint the whole car n engine bay?

 

What i would give to NOT live 4000 km's from Joe at Classic Auto.

 

20P

Looks nice Marco, I'll be in touch about dropping those parts and touch up paint off - might be the week following tuning.


Car's looking good! Better then when its covered in road grime

You can ask him, but its an arbitrary number since cost will vary from car to car.

 

I'll give you 1 million $$ to spend one night with your ride.
Great looking 7 for sure. Paint looks great in the photos.
Hope to catch an upclose and personal at a meet in the near future.

Seems Joe doesn't mind so I paid $3,700 for paint and engine bay (with engine already removed) + $820 for towing
