Gauges mounted:

Dimmer controller:


JTR 1 7/8th Headers installed: (Thanks AHarda for the tips, Drivers Side: Move fuse box out of the way, remove coils and the header can be installed from the top / Pass Side: Support motor, remove starter and engine pedestal, install from below)

Also, the ammount of tranny tunnel modification I did prior was perfect on the drivers side. Plenty of clearance.

Power Harness:




GTO Shifter:


Need to lift the front a bit:

We have a better vid once the brakes were sorted out, but I'm waiting for my friend to get it off his phone lol

That should be it for now. Questions? Comments? Concerns?

I gotta switch to Samberg radiator set up...just looks so clean compared to Hinson.

Samberg setup is the bees knees. Fitment is probably 90%, but there are fixes:

I love it... totally reminds me of my 1st drive.. my car sounded almost exactly the same (open stock manifolds). Great job. It's a great feeling to drive it around for the first time.

Super late updates... Lets see what's happened:

Since I have a fbody ps pump it doesn't play nice with the FD steering rack and overdrives it due to the higher flow rate, so I installed a smaller orifice fitting from Turn One.
This is the fitting you need for the Fbody pump: MFG@TUR11 with .093 orifice (As per Jeff @ Turn One)

Installed mine over the weekend, car drives WAAAAY better now.

Protip: Thin wall, deep socket 22mm is your friend.

Stock vs Turn One fitting:



Swapped the GTO shifter out in favor of a MGW shifter. Super short and crisp shifts now, no more missing 3rd gear:





Also plopped it on the dyno and got it tuned finally:

Also picked up the following parts:
- Efini steering wheel
- 94 Finish AC panel and Brand New 94 finish (Someone was hoarding it) shifter panel
- Shine Auto hood (Thanks again papsmagu)

New pics should be up sooner than later...

Mini Update:
- I have been slowly acquiring 94+ interior bits to replace the restored 93 pieces
- Received some Shine CF Feed side skirts and their Low-Profile CF spoiler
- Starting on my custom Speedhut gauge setup

I should have some new pics up this weekend.

lets get some pics and did you have to cut a larger hole to fit the hinson mc and adapter?

BlinD26

iTrader: (27)

Weather has been terrible in S FL so haven't gotten any pics yet.

For the Wilwood master you need to hone out the hole a bit for clearance forthe tapered lip on the Master that holds the boot. The reason for this is the firewall in FDs are multilayer and depening on how they were assembled they can be mis-aligned. Few minutes with a barrel bit and a dremel and you will be good to go.

No worries.....car looks really good. I must say, i am a rotary enthusiest so i dont like to see FD's with piston engines but i must say, the car looks great. Great work.

Let me know when you buy the Shine CF rear diffuser. I have some CF Vortex Generators that i have sitting on the shelf that i will sell really cheap. never installed and brand new.

Again, great work and good looking car. Question, do you have to change your tag? its technically not an R1 anymor right

BlinD26

iTrader: (27)

I'm looking at the Street Diffusor, aren't the generators for the RE-Pro?

And technically it's still an R1, still has a hardtop, suede seats, no bose, etc

I'll try to get some interior pictures up soon, most of the interior has been converted over to 94 textured plastics and I still have to start on the custom gauge setup
