Ive been sleeping and parts hounding....only took THREE days for people to reply that they had possible nose choices for my na...looking at either 150+shipping for a gp sport front(from CA) or 50+shipping for stock s5(from MI)

 

That's pretty much a no-brainer, Derrick. For 150 you could probably get both front and rear bumpers plus all the trimmin's. Oh, don't forget though... the S4 turn signals do nooot fit into the S5 bumper. I'm thinking the GP Sport is the same since it's based on the S5 design.

 

No brainer yes, but id still need a lip and the gp kit has a healthy lip on it..

 

The thing about lips is they ALWAYS get broken, no matter how careful you are. All it takes is one careless squirrel. So it's good to have a replaceable one. Too bad they're usually $200 and up.

 

yeah, I also plan on reinforcing the nose a bit. Im thinking something more solid than the shitty crushed crapp i have right now, maybe some 1/8" steel plating or 1/4".

 

aw! poor squirrel.

$200 for a lip however is rediculous that's why I don't have one right now.

 

yeah, gonna make it so if/when i hit soemthing with the nose it/they will feel soemthing. Not to mention giving me a newish undertray for the bumper area, which should force more air through my radiator and oil cooler.

 

Sounds like something out of Carmageddon! You know what would reinforce it quite a bit? A couple heavy saws.

If I had the equipment to make molds for fiberglass, I'd like to make one for a front lip. It would be nice to be able to lay a new one if the original gets destroyed, and I'm sure a lot of people would want one.

 

why chainsaws liz? Id much prefer a couple of chainguns mounted in the huge gaping map of the new nose. But either way I go I have to build up a new lower mounting plate for the entire bumper structure, as well as the vent ducts. Perfect project when I yank the fenders off.

The mold idea is nice though.

 

I meant normal saws... although I can see the logic in your chaingun approach. Shred anything that threatens your front end before it even gets there.

I need to work out a way to duct my intake with minimal cutting. I guess I'll relocate the windshield wiper resevoir if I have to.

 

A fun concept i had long ago would have been to use a decent (usable at night) flush mount light kit, then remove the ftp's to use as cold air

 

Does anyone have some oil cooler lines/fittings (S4 N/A) that they don't want anymore? They don't have to be usable, I just want some to use a template to take to a hydraulic shop so I can have them make me a new pair.

 

That would require cutting as well... plus I haaate flush mount lights.

Sorry 5A, I have no such thing.

 

5A i have some you can have but i live in chatt. i striped a 88 for v8 swap if you make the drive you can have all.

 

Well guys, doesn't look like I'll be at the meet sun. I'll be chillin at a bigass circle track, Hell Fire!!

 

A circle track?? "My right butt cheek hurts from turning left all day..." Well have fun with that. So who is coming tomorrow? And who's running the Triangle with us?

 

I'll be there tommorro and I plan on running the bremuda triangle . I spoke with Charlie and he said he would try and make it .

Whats for Breakfast ?????

 

Time place again so i know when and where?

 

Kroger's on Northshore Drive, 10:30 is the meet, 11am is when the Z's are gonna show up, and we're hoping on leaving around 11:30. Beef, it's what's for breakfast. Do you really want to eat a nice big breakfast before driving up there?

Everyone keep an eye out for Johnny McLaw and his shenanigans, it's St. Patty's Day weekend and the cops are gonna be setting up roadblocks and other BS like that. Hopefully we won't get harrassed once we get out of town though.

 

Nice meet guys we had 10 rx7s total , 5 third gens I never seen in knoxville and a couple fb's to . Well Im sure Jimi will post some pics soon . Heres to the next one ......

 

Yeah never expected that to happen! First turbo first gen in the club too, eh?

 

Sorry didnt make it guys, totally forgot i had to go do family **** for my birthday.

 

Oooops. Well happy birthday. I think you would have had more fun destroying your suspension with us on the Triangle though.

 

Oh yeah jimi, pics/**** or GTFO....

 

Whoa whoa, money up front. Uh huh, that's right, you can't afford it!
