Jackstand /Project Car ROTM Nominations!

joff · 01-10-2010, 02:17 AM

Here's my project FD.

Had the car a little over 2.5 years now and its spending the winter in my garage on jackstands. The goal is to be driving again before summer. I have most of the parts now but progress is slow due to limited time and that I am not really a mechanic or even have a car-guy background and have to learn things as I go.

Originally got into FDs by way of the RX8. I have a supercharged RX8 too and both my wife and I fell in love with the FD's we saw in the local Arizona Rotary Car Club drives/events and caravans every year to Sevenstock.

I have a build thread with more pictures:

Interior wise, seats will be replaced with red Brides, steering wheel with aftermarket Nardi w/red stitch, syn-suede gauge hood covering, leather w/red stitching on center console, Spirit-R red stitch shift knob, E-brake, red trim floor mats, and re-dyed Spirit-R grey interior plastics.

Exterior will have CF side skirts, CF brake ducts, CF diffuser, and CF rear-spoiler center on a otherwise 99'spec spoiler. Feed vented hood (painted white) and burnout front nose, and all exterior lamps tinted a tad darker. Also new black Enkei RPF1 wheels, wider tires, and lowered stance.

Engine will have single-turbo conversion to a BorgWarner S366 and am retaining the PFS SMIC but adding to it a SPAL fan and water mister. All visible parts powdered coated wrinkle black except for glossy/obnoxious red on the IC end tanks, water pump, and throttle body. Arizona Rotary Rockets turbo manifold and Xcessive LIM w/6 YawPower injectors + Bosch 044 pump + CJM fuel rails and Turbosmart FPR.
