Maybe down the road Andy, but for now with SOoo many FDs running 99 specs, heck the average person on the road might mistake THEM for stock and mine as aftermarket

Everyone,

Just finished fabbing and powdercoating a custom bracket for my custom AST (7 inch depth versus standard 6 inch) and plumbed it back into the system. Was having a difficult time keeping air out of my system with the AST removed, so I just decided it was time to put it back in and try something new to see if I get a better result. So far, so good!

Also wanted to share some pics of my new shoes. Enjoy!

It's just a standard Koyo. If you look at post #44 you can see how the top of the radiator was modified to divide flow. Let me know if you have any other questions, and thanks for the compliment...

Car looks awesome with those wheels, very nice!

RCCAZ 1 · 07-16-2010, 11:22 PM

It's been awhile since I posted up and I've added a few new cosmetic upgrades. FEED CF door handle covers and SakeBomb Garage LED taillight upgrade. Also had my son's roommate take a few shots of the car.

A few more things coming in the next month or two. I'll try and do a better job of keeping everyone posted as my projects progress.

What are the specs on your wheels and tires? I started a thread not long ago about that topic if you want to post it there. Up to you of course lol.

Looks great!! That might be the cleanest engine bay I've ever seen lol.

RCCAZ 1 · 11-19-2010, 10:25 PM

A few new shots. Changed up a few things to add some CF in the engine bay. Also I really liked what Jesse (Joff) did with his fender bolts, so I decided to replaced mine with similar ones!

Great Looking Car.... This has been one of my all time favorite CYM's out there...

I think you should replace the old Mazda O emblems with the new "M" style... other then that... very nice build... Just looked at your results, they are awesome...

hope you have been able to enjoy the car the past little while

Your car reminds me of rx7rage (on other forum) his for a while had the same stock lines, plus the hood, OEM side skirts, was VR with black volk CE-28n's, now he has the same works as you, and few body modifications (99 spec front end, Feed rear wing etc..)

I think I like yours better :P BTW that V-mount looks amazing... I ight be stealing some of your ideas for when I do mine

Thanks! Appreciate the props! I have considered the "M" style emblems, but for now.... I'm just taking a break and enjoying it, but it's a great idea, thanks again!

Thanks... yea Gene (rage) is a great guy and I love his car as well. He and another forum member made it into Super Street this month, so I guess there's still hope to someday get into a mag. We'll see!

Here's a couple pics of what I'm calling my "Amemiya Barn Find" catback. It's a 1995 Amemiya Gravity Muffler that later became their "Dolphin Tail." Hope to have it on the car this weekend with some YouTube clips comparing the exhaust tone with my current RB Dual Tip. Until then, here's a couple "before" and "after" pics!

Before:

Where did you find that?!

RCCAZ 1 · 12-07-2010, 10:54 PM

My son's friend owns a Honda tuning shop here in Phoenix and bought a container of Honda motors about 12 years ago from Japan. When the container arrived in Long Beach, one of the items in the shipment was an Amemiya full exhaust (damaged but still useable). The exhaust was for sale for more than 10 years in their shop, but had no takers due to the damage. I inquired about it last month and dug it out of their parts pile in the back of their building.

We contacted Amemiya last week and they confirmed that it is indeed one of their "Gravity Mufflers" from the 1995 timeframe. One of their early attempts at what has become their signature "Dolphin Tail" exhaust.

Here's a pic of the Amemiya "muffled" midpipe as well.

Prodigy · 12-07-2010, 11:37 PM

mmm sexy... that exhaust looks great redone... all polished up and such... so, so pretty
