My my my!!! You are a talented fellow. Makes me feel silly about what I am attempting... Everything you did was correct, and top notch! You are really an incredible fabricator. I wish you were in Washington so I could come drool in person.
|
This is definitely "the most detailed build thread," from the detailed pics and professional attention to detail to the commitment to doing it right the first time. The fabrication looks great.
Thanks for the time spent in sharing this build. |
Damn Kevin you've come a long way since the welding classes!
Car's looking good bro! |
Damn fine work, sir.
|
Best build thread EVER! :icon_tup:
|
You, sir, have some talent and an immense amount of patience. :icon_tup: Amazing job!! :drool:
|
This thread makes me realize how worthless I am!
|
Amazing work!!

Im Wowed too!
|
This is one of the best, if not the best build thread I've come across. Congrats on amazing work!
|
You guys are too funny. Thanks for the compliments.
|
Well, I am ready to start my 83. It will be no where near this level, but I am doing it to my budgetary and skill constraints. Hope it is a tenth of what you have done here...
I am pulling the dead rotory out this weekend. Any tips for a first timer? |
any new pictures or driving/sound clips... you leave me wanting more
|
I never thought I'd say this about an RX with a V8.. Bro, Hands down. This is just Ridiculous in the best of ways. Everything is just perfect. Keep up the good work. We are freaking enjoying every step of this swap..
|
Great post. Thanks a lot Kevin!
I just picked up a LS FD in Cincinnati. This thread will be my refrerence when I work on the car later. Thanks! Derek |
i never thought perfection can be achieved when you DIY, but here's a clear example
|
omg i would give my left nut for this car
|
Lets see what I have as far as sound clips or videos.
Here is a really old one, probably from 2008. Just a full throttle pull http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l5...akeofffast.jpg |
Here is a video from an autox in 2009, back when I was using Koni Challenge slicks on my 17" wheels. Man, those tires really sucked.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkJVpBKAP4c Here is an autox video from 2010 on street tires. It was a test and tune and I wanted to compare my FD to my 350Z both on the same tires. I'm the guy with the flat black helmet, in the drivers seat of the Miata at first (showing my buddy how its done in his own car). The yellow 350z is mine as well, but in the video its a friend of mine driving it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk_JhjN8T7U |

Awesome 2010 video Kevin! Great job on the editing. Your FD was a huge motivating factor in my FC build.
|
inspiration for my car, and assuming many others. Fantasic attention to detail and no expense spared!
|
i have a t56 from a f-body (in my FD) and have the MGW shifter and it feels like crap. have you had any trouble at all with yours? i just bought the car a few days ago so i think the guy must have messed up the install. least your pictures help me out with figuring what he did wrong. great build!
|
Very helpful build. Beautiful car
