FC3S Murray's never ending build.

[FC3S Murray]

Two weeks.

[project86]

im ordering mine as soon as i get my tax money. ya!!!! oh and i found my camera. its in my tool box. i was shittin chickens man.

[project86]

sean do you have your wheels mounted yet?

[FC3S Murray]

lol nope not yet. I had to send back some bolts for my LAST WHEEL to VRWheels since they sent me the wrong size. I will be ordering the coilovers on Tues and putting the rubber on and balancing via Matt on next monday.

I am sooooooooo anxious!!!!

[FC3S Murray]

UPDATE:

So this post may be a dick tease BUT I am still awaiting BC to ship my coilovers. I went through Gripmotorsports.com and Megan there has kept me up to date evryday until BC gets their shit together and gives me MY DAMN C.O's!

I did however get the skin put on my wheels. I really wish I would have researched some more in regards to WORK redesigning the Equips. I personally like the re-designed ones better BUT don't get me wrong...these things are f*cking sick in person. I just think the center 5 spoke is a wee bit on the small side(diameter) compared to the elongated spokes on the newer Equips.

Never-the-less
(please excuse the shitty phone-pic...my wife lost our camera)






I also purchased some MMR Rear Camber Adjusters.

I have almost been acting as a liaison for disgruntle past customers TO MMR due to these breaking. I have resolved some issues with MMR in regards to customer service and they have given me insight to improvements on the product due to customer reports. Keep in mind most breaks are from improper torque/installation.... I hope and time will tell


I will have pic's of the FC on the ground when I get my coilovers ASAP.


Next little project is installing AUX inj.

[FC3S Murray]

So BC Racing contacted me and it looks like it is going to be a 2 1/2 week wait. The coilovers are on a pallet being flown from Japan as we speak. That is a 4-5 day process to them then a 4-5 day shipping time to me......sucks but hell, the weather is still shitty so I guess I am in no rush.


I have been doing much research on AUX injection and am just trying to get my shit together so when I order my kit I will have the correct nozzle size/support equipment.

I am undecided if I want to run 1 nozzle OR run 2 nozzles-1 in each
front and rear outboard runner of the UIM
If do go 1 nozzle I am having a hell of a time deciding where I want to mount it and what angle so it evenly distributes to both rotors.

I think the dual set-up would be sweet but I do believe it would be a bit overkill since I just want to run a small nozzle with a 50/50 mix to keep knock down and AIT temps safe.
I really do not plan on running monster amounts of boost, maybe 18 psi on the dyno just for shits and giggles BUT 15 psi on the street.

MMR camber links are installed and I have to say I really like the design. The adjustment nut is easily accessable and the machining/ clearances on this product are pretty damn impressive. Hopefully they last.

You should have bought Stance coils... woulda been there a lot sooner and you = hella happy!

However, since you didn't, i hope all goes well, it was still an ok choice for suspension.

[FC3S Murray]

Funny because I have heard that stance is not as nice as quality as BC. Either way I am just happy to finally own a pair.

[TitaniumTT]

Meh, I'm happy with my stances. Be warned though, this might apply to the BC's, if your tires are sticky enough the rear trailing arm will flex enough on hard turns and chew into the housing on the C/O At idle there's a decent gap, but put enough load on that sucker..... bad things will happen :'(

Stance was the only budget C/O that I have ever seen shock dyno's for, and they were consistent, that's why I went the stance route.... that and Rishie got me a deal that I couldn't pass up with an extra set of springs

Good to know Brian, I will have to ask one of my buddies here in town who has some BC's installed on his FC. He drives it very hard and has had those C/O's for 3-4 years now.

MAN I am sorry to see all that rot under your FC....really blows. Knowing you though, you'll find a way to patch it up and make it look better then it came out of the factory.

[TitaniumTT]

Yeah, def ask him about it... it's serious hard cornering though. As in my tires were rubbing the heat shield on the muffler! That's alot of flex. I ALMOST went and swapped the rear swing arm bushings for the AWR bearing version to take car of it.

Thanks man, I'm around the corner, over the hump, and I'll have some pics up in my Diary Thread, lemme know.... I think I did the factory proud

[FC3S Murray]

..............I am losing my fucking mind! BC Racing contacted me today and said the coilovers won't even ship until Monday. I have been waiting a month...not cool.

However I have almost got my water injection research wrapped up and am pretty confident in what I want to run in my set-up.

The weather is getting very nice and I am losing my patience....I could be putting miles on the motOr

[project86]

....i didnt know moter was spelled with an e.....
