Well let me know if you ever need any help with anything. Im always down to help a fellow rotary. If you end up going with a standalone system i would definitely recommend jeremy to tune it. I bought his old microtech that he tuned for me and it is amazing compared to the crappy fuel piggy back system i was running before. I revved the living **** out of it at the last cfrc practice and it just takes it like its nothing.

Yeah I already talked to Jeremy and he said he had no problem tuning my car when it's done. I'm running 1000cc all around on Megasquirt 3 so I'll need someone to tune it. I'm going to do the base tune but hopefully Jeremy will still be down to make the final tune. And thanks man! Where are you at? Orlando?

Thanks man! i appreciate that! I really try hard to clean everything up on the car. Its driving me crazy right now that my garage is a mess 
Yeah im basically running a stock motor with all the block off plates and big injectors. Going to tune it and get it running so i can get some good seat time in. Maybe a few months after driving ill do a rebuild and big turbo... already have my eye on a sweet setup 
And for those who dont know... She hit the ground this weekend! So stoked! Time to bring her home for V-Mountssss!
Here is a quick picture of the subframe.. Excuse my garage it needs to be swept and cleaned...
Loaded it all up in the truck and headed over with my friend blobby...
And here is what it looked like at my friends house with a sneak peak of the wheels ill be running........
And boooom! shes on the ground. The alignment is so bad! haha that needs to be fixed asap!
Thats all i have for now! still looking for someone with a trailer and truck to help me get her home! Thanks for all the good feedback, i hope to have more updates soon. peacceeee

True....if its a car you plan in driving on the stress a lot I wouldn't really go with everything solid either. But pure drift beast then yes. Also cool build dude can't wait to see it done.

Thats basically what im running stock ports and turbo and im quite happy with it im just a little over 300hp. Its definitely enough power to have some fun with. But am trying to pull the motor hopefully before i blow it up to rebuild and get some real power out of it
And lastnight it happened. She came home! A buddy of mine came to the rescue and hooked it up with a truck and trailer!
And here is a picture of it this morning. super stoked to have it home. Dont mind the duct taped card board over the sunroof... had to put something over it cause there is a huge hole otherwise haha
Now here we go! This weekend im going to start cutting up the front for v-mount and hopefully drop off some stuff to DCW for some sweet stuff to happen to it. PEACCCCEEE

I dont think anything is done with the motor but i could be wrong, we will see when i rebuild it. It was just an ebay motor from japan with 60k on it and been running it for almost 3 years and its actually holding its own. Just running an aeromotive fuel pressure regulator with an rp competition pump and 750cc secondaries, 3in exhuast w/ cat, microtech lt8, kn intake, front mount, all block of plates, even blocked off water to the intake and thats pretty much it. It made 296 whp about 2 years ago on the crappy fuel management system but now that i have a full standalone controlling ignition and is fully tuned im sure its gotta be a little higher now.

Thanks! We will see i guess haha
Heres a little turkey day update. Ditched the cardboard, just wasnt my style Used my old steel hood to make the sunroof delete. This is where i wish i had a band saw, doing this with a angle grinder wasnt the easiest task in the world 
First i grabbed some cardboard from my last parts order and made a template.
And there she is mounted up! Looks like **** cause i just slapped it on with out cleaning up the edges haha I have to take it off again for paint so ill trim it up then.
Went to town with a spot weld drill bit and my grinder. V-Mount here i come!

And then the scrap starts coming off. literally i feel like i took everything off the front of the car...
So much rooooommmm
Well my car had some rust where all that was, did my best grinding it all off and hit it with some primer. when i go to paint the bay im going to grind it again and hit it with some rust sealant.

I have some sweet updates! i have been working on the car slowly but surely and have been getting quite a bit done. I am leaving for Georgia on the 21st for Christmas and my goal was to have the motor in the car before i left...
I had a couple thing to do with the car and the motor. I cleaned and wet sanded the bay with a scotch bright pad and it came out pretty decent on the passenger side but the driver side looked like dog poop...
Also had to do the oil pan on the motor. When i received the motor it was on a awkward spot on the pallet and bent up the pan. I popped out the dents, painted and re installed the pan. i have the worst luck with RTV stuff and it will probably leak...
Pick up was fine so i was relieved...
Tried my best to get the whole dent out, most of it came out.
Bolted up the turbo and LIM. Starting to look awesome again!

Resurfaced the old flywheel and installed my sweet clutch!
Finished cleaning up the bay and painted it up to the front. The reason i left some unpainted parts is so i didnt have to grind away the paint when i go to finish up the v- mount. i thought it was a smart decision....
And that stealth bay son!!
This one has alittle hint of whats going down in it.... and alittle blobby also..
Hmmmm something seems to be missing....
Thats all i have right now! hopefully some more updates to come! deuceeesss
