Joff and MrsJoff's Chaste White BorgWarner FD build

Keep it white and let's get this sucka put together. I need to have you guys back on the street cruising with me!!

BTW, seeing the pics of that yellow car's engine bay again just reminds me of how unbelieveable his attention to detail was. For those who didn't see the car, it was hands down the best FD I've ever seen. Small attention to detail was OVER THE TOP! Simply spectacular!!

So, what are you saying Tim......the RX8 is chopped liver?!!??

Are we not cool enough to roll with you and your FD when we are in the RX8?!?!!

Just Kidding

I have tried to tear Jesse away from his vacuum and vacuum bag experimenting so that we can focus this weekend on dismantling the engine bay and maybe getting it painted. Keep your fingers crossed that I can keep him on task. These darn engineers are so difficult to work with.

We did not get to painting the engine bay this last weekend, but you will never even notice the yellowing paint once Jesse's new project is done and in there. Here is a little sneak peak of his newest project.

He had to clean up the PFS SMIC air duct by redoing some fiberglass sections and bondoing some imperfections. He spent over 4 hours wet sanding it last night and should be done with it in the next couple of days. This project looks incredible! Will post up some more pics once he has it finished.

It is all done (maybe)

Some stages through the process

After the 7th and final coat of resin

After 4 hours of course sanding

After another 4 hours of wet sanding to make it shiny and pretty. Up against the SMIC.

In place in the engine bay

Jesse is not totally satisfied with the outcome. He may apply more coats of resin and start the sanding process all over again to make the shine a little deeper. Either way, he put a lot of hard work into it and it looks amazing.
