beautiful!
question: does the side bar interfere with your dead pedal? does it rub against your side or left leg? is it a pain in the butt because it takes away precious interior room?
i am on the fence about side bars but have never been in a rex with one.

Hey bro. It is tight, but foot room is fine. Only place where its a bit tight is around your head.

Not sure what BPR is. I've had this FD for about 3 1/2 years and built it ground up. I purchased it from a friend who had started to make it a project car, but didn't finish. I bought it and went nuts on it. This is my third FD and my favorite.

^ Using TT's wife....bad bad.

Looks good Ernie. I wouldn't have spent the money on the intake though, seems pretty usless unless you driving at high speeds, considering the amount of air that turbo must suck in, I bet it would still suck in air from the engine bay. I also doubt if you enclosed the filter in the piping, that it wouldn't be restrictive.

At the speeds that Ernie goes, it is VERY functional!

Stupid Job making me move to Mass (Cape Cod). Sucks the new house we bought doesn’t have a garage so the FD is down in Jersey @ my parents place still. (Building a nice 2 car garage in the spring) I figure the spring will allow me to get out there and cause some havoc. Just having 2 mortgages and all the associated bills with 2 houses it’s just keeping me finically strapped.

The car hasn’t even been to the track since it ran the 10.9. I feel like a let down but life got put before the car this year. Ill be re-dedicated with sponsorship form my dealership this spring. Going to be weird being sponsored by a Nissan dealer, but hell it all about $$$

Are you running the updated tail shaft? Did they ever get more than the 1 for you? I still have a fresh cryoed tranny (2 passes on it) with the snapped tail shaft from the Pinks trip.

LoL Nothing wrong with Mass, I like it a lot!!. only thing that sucks is that I’m not 15 min from Atco and 45Min from E-Town, and my drag cars not here. But I hear New-England dragway’s nice.

The burnout replica from Shine Auto. I don't recommend it. Horrible craftmanship, tons of swirl marks. Fit horrible. Bodyshop had to put it on and of the car atleast a dozen times to get it right.
