Best way to work the underside of a car - upside down!



Alex - the gent who would be partnering with me working the known problem spots. He's a pussy, he wears gloves when he welds


Long night, Brian's tired and hopped up on RedBull.


At my house getting cleaned up and sanded down

The next morning all primed



That's allnighter Brian. Bills seen that face. So to answer your question Sean, No, I don't sleep.



Yup yup.... I'm gonna enjoy that look on my FC




That same night prepping for the interior coating of Lizzard Skin.

That is probably the most straight FC frame I've ever seen... Seriously. Mine looks nothing like that (for a few reasons *cough*) and most of the locals in DFW who's cars I've seen, without the front end on, aren't that straight either.

I might have to roll up there just to have you do my paint, lol.

That is so awesome. Are there enough pics of that car's progress to make a thread for it? Or is there a pre-existing thread floating around somewhere?

One of your neighbors/friends is thinking the same thing. In fact, we're in discussions now Something to most definately consider though and I'm being completely serious.

Yeah there is, it's over on V8RX7Forum. Project Imola in the builds section..... username SunshineFC3S or somthing very close to that. I'd give you a link but like most things RX7 related, the forum is down The progress has been lackluster the last year. I have high ..... VERY high hopes of having her done by DGRR. I doubt it'll happen though.

So I told a forum member I'd get some pics up of the comparision between the Marren and the Aeromotive filter and here they are. I also mounted the thing tonight. Waiting on a crimped -3AN line from Goodridge/Carolina Racing Supply which is due tomorrow so I can monitor Fuel PSI becusae........ well.... I seem to need it.

Anywho, comparision of the two side by similar length, the Aeromotive is 3/8" longer, didn't measure the OD, I think the Aero is 2" and the Marren 1.5"



More importantly, look at the difference in the filter area. There really is no comparision at all. As a bonus when you buy an Aeromotive replacement filter (I already have one which is how I know this) the new element comes with an o-ring to seal the element to the top piece of the filter, and there is a new o-ring for the ORB on top of the filter.



TitaniumTT - bracket builder extraordinaire The billet piece I bought, obviously, pricey @ ~ $60 but worth it, SOOOOO sexy and makes removing the thing a breeze.





Using the stock nutserts for mounting, the thing is SOLID! 1/4" 5052 AL with 3/8" spacers so I could locknut the thing from behind. I'll weld them on later and MAYBE powdercoat or anodize it. I toyed with the idea of using 3/8" plate for the mounting and then tapping for the 1/4-20 cap nuts but this being a fuel item, I opted for the MOST secure.... and here it is.
