New updates in about a week and a half. Got so many damn parts to install its insane. Stay tuned

 

sorry for the late reply. here are three shots from a couple drift days.

 

sweeeeeet! now how about the engine bay!

 

this was the only one i could find. it was from when i was putting it in. its alot more tidy now

 

Alright so i got back about a week ago and have been pretty busy but in the last couple days got some work done on the Fc..

Got back and did some cleaning up to the shop which is looking good now


Then got some tires on the rims i got the other day 17x8.25 and 17x9.75. Test fitted and they fit great without even having spacers yet..


And then the work started.. Threw on the Coils and also removed both hubs so i can get the DTSS elims pressed in and also decided to drop the subframe so i could get all my pbm **** installed and then i found a surprise...




This whole time ive thought my front mount was broken when it actually turned out to be my subframe is fucked lol. So now i gotta get it re welded and and braced up.. ya mee

 

Hell yah! This thread is awesome, the car is looking great too. Do you have a shot with the wheels on? Same exact wheels I have (just a different color) and sizing it looks like. Only more motivation to swap my 1j when it gets here. Maybe ill see you up at evergreen once its all done.

 

snapped mounts blow

 

nah man havent taken pics. just put it them on to make sure i didnt need spacers. in a bout a week ill have it back on the ground soon

 

Well so was bored and still waiting on my PBM mounts to come thru so i wire wheeled and cleaned all the rear suspension/subframe parts and did some painting. Decided to paint them a burnt copper color. Random as hell really lol



Also decided to paint the gray interior red to just see what it looks like. I actually really like it! So red it is now.


LOL then the most fun i had all day and that was burning out my diff mounts! Pretty fun and easy as hell.

 

Well finally put my angle kit on today which included the rack spacers and supernow rod ends. Pretty nice little jump in angle. And it all cost me about 120 dollars so totally worth it for the price.

Before


After

 

Alriiiiiiiiiiight so been working hard all week and got a bunch of **** done. Finally the subframe all painted and my PBM mounts installed as well as bracing up my front diff bracket a bit better then before. Oh and more burning mounts out lol!




Then got it installed which was a bit harder then i thought it would be. But it all worked out in the end

Then came the time to remove DTSS elims.. Well wasnt as hard as i thought actually. Ended up using a socket and a hammer and out they came in 5 min. Then threw the elims in the freezer and they went in without a problem

 

Well today finally with all the suspension back on i pulled the car out for pics and gave it nice wash. Its looking pretty good if i say so myself.

 

Oh ya and i almost forgot lol.. Ended up selling my s15 turbo and got a big boy turbo. GT2860 disco potato which should be good for about 320-340whp. Gonna install this week maybe

 

looking tight bro!

 

coming along very nice.

 

Looking good. I like your style V V V V.

 

I want that front bumper sooooooo bad^

 

Oh nice, I like the direction your car is headed in

BTW, I think you should just repair and keep the Origin, you'd be surprised at how good it can actually look.

 

Ya but it fits like crap. The front has that big gap between the hood and it seems like the sides are made for wider fenders or something. Idk just fits shitty lol

 

Well havent done too much to the rx7 since im waiting on random gaskets and fittings to finish my big turbo install. But got the stock turbo off and well how do u guys like the difference lol


And also picked up another stock wing and threw that on and man it looks so much better. Also dont mind the big *** gap on the body kit lol its only connected from the sides right now

 

Man i havent updated this in awhile partly cause i work alot and then when im not working im working on this and my other vehicles lol. Well anyways.. Ended up not installing the turbo until i fully break in the motor but other then that the car is finally running good and driving and looking good too!

Got my gauges all setup and picked up a wideband


How the engine looks now. Picked up a Sr aluminum radiator and went back to a stock intake manifold cause the isis one was just complete crap


Sitting pretty in my shop


And this is from the day i finished all the suspension and got her running good and brought her home. Also sitting next to my daily Z. Gotta say it feels awesome walking out to that lol

 

Mannnn... i havent updated in foreeeever. car looks a bit different now so ill go through what ive done in the last 4 months..

Well after gettting the car driving well and being a nice dailyable car i decided that having a gutted car was driving me nuts.. so the first thing i did was get interior for it.


After that My next course of action was relocating my gauges cause i hated the position they were in. So bought a glowshift gauge pod and mounted my wideband in there too.

 

Also at this point i decided that i needed some nice fitment on my car so i threw on some 25 mm spacers all around and got a battleversion camber link for the rear and of course rolled and pulled the fenders. Turned out pretty good


Also picked up some hks cams and installed them. Man the power difference was nuts. Such a good power mod


And of course after install i had to have some fun lol

 

Then picked up a uras style hood vent and i cannot stress how amazing my temps changed with it. Probably one of the best things ive done for my fc. It stays extremely coool now


And also at this point my front bumper was pretty damn haggered lol. So after what seemed like forever i finally sourced a used bn aggressive aero kit and man oh man it looks amazing on the fc

 

And then just last week i finally got around to installing some widebody fenders i had. My fronts were rubbing pretty good at full lock so these helped a ton.


And finally know heres how my engine bay looks. Car is absolutely great on power and super relaiable. i can drive it for as long as i want it wont break. probably the best feeling ever! lol
