Miami.

 

put more miles on the rebuilt engine, over 200 in two days. Found and fixed small coolant leak. 100 more and breakin is done.......running strong and getting better

 

Nice Andrew. Cant wait to see the flame show. lol.

Bought a set of FC TII front calipers to start the brake upgrade on my FB. I can feel the whiplash now.

 

i put a v8 in it ..............

 

I removed both head light assemblies and some misc. parts for my engine bay remodel. Changing the paint and a wire tuck coming up.

 

installed XM radio in the rx8, foolishly attempted to use the vent mount ! and broke the vent! curses foiled again!

 

I put a powerPulse muffler in it. No more DRONE.

 

Wanted to blow it up because the damn swap it is taking to long....

 

took the fc out for a spin and the alternator went out on me! barly made it home running on the battery!ill have to replace that this weekend...

 

compressorlogic, let me know if ya need help on the engine install. gotta go to Seabeck on sunday to help a friend, by got Monday off to help if needed

 

Is it necessary to have performance meters for a s4 turbo II with minor upgrades

 

WTF? Go back to your west section.

Performance Meters?

 

Got some rotors and housings from Noxi late last night after getting hassled by the Washington State Police. Got off with a warning, guess they're jealous because we actually have a a dollar menu?

Exedy OEM clutch and pressure plate as well as my Atkins master rebuild kit arrived yesterday as well.

 

When i say meters i mean the gauges. The air fuel gauges or temp gauges from makers like defi, apexi, etc

 

there is a moderate probability that the mtor will be in today or tommarow.... not running of course tho... b ut bolted in.

i should of jumped on having the injectors serviced earlyer... then i might just bring the turbo in to be rebuilt just incase since it sat so long...

 

made some progress yusterday!



got the motor bolted in!


still a ways off, but at least its in there now!

 

You lose a bet and had to paint it those colors? jk

Good luck on getting it back up without hassle.

I decided to do the relay install for my power windows. Also got in my sub, a cheesy pyle 8" tube, but sounds good enough for me.

 

cars are girls, girls have girl parts, and come in a viariaty of pinks and purples. walla pink and purple motor?? thats my guess.

and Yes get a boost gauge to the calli kid. doesn't have to be a really fancy brand or anything. just accurate.

 

Moved my car from Tacoma to Point Roberts. Had to use a trailer and 3 tow trucks and took near 8 hours, but shes finally where I can work on her everyday.

 

Lol air filter.

Mine was.....Dirty. Brakleen didnt even "Kleen" it out either. also bought a front strut and a taurus fan! gotta clean it and paint it before i put it on, though.

 

glad it all went well for you kyle.
keep me updated man

 

Sanded the rest of my cage,trbo cold side,fd uim,rotor housings,irons and sprayd irons semi gloss black. I will use wax/grease remover tmrw and wipe down cage,rotor housings,fd uim,and trbo cold side and tack rag em then I will put my 4 stage candy paint on for sure.. Oh I also masked off my purrrrrty engine bay so no overspray ruins it
