Awesome! I love the first gen (honestly, I'll drool over anything rotary!). How far a long are you? Are you still going to try to go with the Racing Beat muffler setup?

I'll have the brackets and wiring done on the light setup in a bit so I'll get some videos posted soon. I ALMOST put the FG hood on the black car yesterday but the wife seems kinda fond of it on her NA.

ive done re-speed front and rear coil over kit.re-speed front sway bar.new kyb gr2 struts shocks. custom ignition system 3 msd blaster 2 coils and 3 gm ignitors thanks to jeff 20b. all new bushings . new ball joints. racing beat header to muffler setup need to fix one leak in the stock pipe you use on the sa setup. removed gilmer pulley kit killed 2 alts f that shit right.

i need to do some body work drivers 1/4 panel and need to make a air dam since i cant find the parts for a sa. iam thinking of forming some caps for the front fenders and buying a sheet of 1/4 inch carbon fiber and bolting it to the them.ie on the uder side like a air splitter. strip the interior out some what, since iam going to put a street cage in, mainly to feel more safe. then i just need to figure out what iam going to do motor wise. my 12a runs fine when i took it off the road.but i want more power and need to figure out the best bang for the buck. if i can find some one to boost prep a rb holley i want to do that.if i cant find some one to do that ill go cadmen. i wish there was someone near by that could take my 12a apart and tell me if i should keep it or rebuild it if possible.

if i go cadmen i mite try to carb a TII motor with a cadmen to make my life easier. i dont want to have to pay for dyno time ect. since my buddy works with a bunch of carb guys that will help me out for free.
i allso need to clean up the egine bay. iam getting a tig welder soon thank god. so ill probly fix the body this winter and slowly build a motor.

nice, how do solid rear axle 1st gens handle after you modify them like that? I've never driven one.

We both need to do 1/4 panel work....I haven't been able to find a cheap replacement so i'm going to try and fix it...

As far as best bang for the buck? TII swap...200hp stock is fun.

Phoenix7 12-06-2008 09:55 PM

I installed the hood and i"ll be working on it some more tomorrow....:willy_nilly:

I think this thread should change its title to "GTUs turbo, 400whp sleeper from behind" :)

Look'n good. I'm sure I've asked, but what hood is that again?

Phoenix7 12-08-2008 06:24 PM

LOL, yeah, not so much of a sleeper anymore but I'll settle for 300HP at 10psi and take it from there......It's an AD9 hood replica for teh FC from www.keycompositesgroup.com

BTW, the NEW (aftermarket) interior I bought from Ebay is a perfect fit. I'll be posting about that in a while.

Phoenix7 12-16-2008 11:54 PM

Started to convert the headlights to HIDs....6000K....

It's been cold and rainy so no work on the car so I thought I'd get something else done.

Pics in a sec

I got that hood, I keep taking the rain guards in and out and the screw holes for them are not holding up, but I prob will just always keep them out when I get it running again.

I wanna see the shots of the interior, I've always been tempted by it.

Phoenix7 12-18-2008 11:51 PM

Yeah, I had to take the covers off since they didn't clear the strut tower bar so I don't know about them not holding up.....I've even driven in the rain without any issues.

As far as the interior, I'm waiting on my seats...as soon as they come in I'll install the new carpets, steering wheel and whatever else I need....

mirrors might be for an AE-86 I know the FC mirrors fit on it... take some pics, maybe you can make them work?

Flooder 07-10-2009 02:27 PM

Pics? I gave up on my car for a while. I'm concentrating on building up my TII instead.
