engine is back in, going to finish the headers and exhaust in a day or 2

Engine and intake are on, having the headers finished as well as the exhaust

headers done

more work on the exhaust, multiple slight bends, trying to keep it as close to the car as possible. Going from round to oval and then back to round.

is going to be a monster.
The first gen (granny speed shop) read diff bolts directly up to the stock rx3 rear? So simple!!

i'm not sure how easy or hard it is going to be to attach the grannys 1st gen rear, thats why i am leaving it all up to my fabricator. Hopefully it is an easy install. I just need gslse rear brakes to finish it off.

that header !!!!! WOW

i got my new coilovers today from techno toy tuning. also had ne of the muffles cut down to fit inside the exhaust tube for the side exhaust

i also got the front fenders off and test fit the fiberglass ones from Canada. they need quite a bit of work.

i also helped to remove the rear axle to get ready for the grannys ford 8.8 to be put in, hopefully tomorrow

Those the ones on ebay?

yes, fenders are from ebay, they are nice but need fitment work, some hols not lined up, and some holes not there

more progress, the rear shock towers are opened up to fit the coil overs, and the rear is almost bolted in.

wheels and tire, just plasti dipped them flat black with vht yellow, same as the engine
13x10 all around

more exhaust work, almost done

Tito and Eddie do some awesome work.

I got the rear brake rotors today, and the exhaust is finally all welded up. All the work has been done by Tito Garrido and Joe Libby at Renown Racing. Still have to do the 3 link rear and cut the body for the fender flares

Yeah it is some awesome work for sure. I've been following your build on here and I see some of the pictures that Tito posts on FB.

Are your Wheels gonna fit over those brakes? hard to tell from the pics but the brakes look pretty big.... you said your wheels were 13's??? may have some issues???

With the wheel spacers they should fit, if not i have a set of 16x9 volk artisan fins i will use

those look cool... I have a set like that too but mine are Enkei's

here is a quick mock up of the fender flares

That looks awesome!

a few more updates

and some more
