Mounted the aero and rolled it out for some sun to blow the dust off. Started on the cage base plates, waiting for pedals to arrive, and then I'll start on the cage mock up. For now I'm completely booked for the next 10 days at minimum with several jobs lined up after. Hoping to have this rolling soon, but the shop is first priority!!!

Found these things. Way better than Wilwood's.


Ordered SuperNOW rear links. Should come in this week.

Haven't touched the FD in a couple weeks. Booked through April with work.
Went to Cali to buy this. Only took 2yrs but now my red VR4 will be back together.

More excited for that than anything with the FD.

Nothing new to report. Been working on everyone's car but my own. Check this S14 I finished the other day.


My hood came in so I guess that's progress.

S14 looks sick, what motor is it getting?

Was built SR, now it's getting a VH45. It's just here for fab work/paint he's doing the rest.

Everyone's cars but my own. Here's another customer car I finished tonight.



And I bought a lift the other day. No more engine swaps on concrete with floor jacks.

Nice cars, does Vegas have a big drift scene?

iTrader: (8)

Thanks! Yea, it's pretty large. Has been for a handful of years now.

Finished pics of the S14. Also, these are the colors my FD will be, a long with a few friends cars (this 14 included)




After close to a year of searching I finally found a set of Ganador Super Mirrors for the drift car too! Pretty stoked on that, especially since they were only $500.


Rocking faux carbon and ti hardware too. Let's see how long until everyone starts doing this now too 😂


I'll be doing a full tear down/rebuild on this NSX over the next 90 days, and currently respraying a huge lifted bro truck... so as usual my FD is going to be stagnant for a bit... Still have a couple things left to buy but knocked out a huge chunk of everything.

lol. I already have fake carbon hood latches on my fc that look almost exactly like that. ill probably paint them if I ever finish painting my car.

Is that a period correct body kit on the nsx? Not sure how to feel....

After 10 months of searching and $500 later I finally got a pair of Ganador mirrors for my drift FD.

Also bought RX7Factory.com

I like the colors, more info on the NSX, looks pretty cool

Idk anything about the aero brand. Can't say I would do the same style aero if I had an NSX, but I'm assuming it's a rare style because my friend said it was pretty expensive to source it.
All I know is whoever installed/painted it did a terrible job. There's inconsistent gaps all around. The intercoat pearl is splotchy, and there's like 80-180 grit sand marks showing through all over the car not to mention dust specks all over too. The gel coat is cracking on every panel from poor mounting points. The front bumper lifts if you pick it up.. Lol it's going to need a lot of love but it's going to look great when I'm done.

Freeskier7791

Definitely will look great when its fixed up, shame that it was put on so poorly originally, any more FD progress?

Nothing new with the drift car. Had to fire the help I had. Playing catch up with shop work at the moment.

Some pics of my Pettit FD. Car is for sale if anyone's in the market.

Meh the red FD is okay. Sucks the first buyer backed out. Wanted to have my spray booth already. now its so late in the year I'll probably be stuck with it till tax season season again.

Tossed the motor back in now that all the fab work is done. Have to fabricate the Trans mount since I'm keeping the FC T2 Trans for now. Putting a little time in today, and tomorrow on it. Then back to work running the shop Monday.
