In the summer believe it or not, weekdays work better for me but I could arrange something on the weekend if ya wanna join


I don't know how my schedule will work out so just post up here when you get set up and if I can make it I'll let ya know.

Sounds like a plan to me. Dyno should be up and running before I am. I'm hoping to be able to blast out there on my next day off..... I just don't know when that's going to be.

Hey Dave, not entirely sure. We've been jamming at work close to 12 hrs a day for the last two weeks, waterfront opens on Saturday and I'm sure I'll be there. I'm not sure when my next day off is going to be or even what my expected hours are going to be over the weekend. I'll let you know as soon as I do. I'll give you a shout in a bit, sorry I missed your call... gotta go jam for a seatrial now so maybe, just maybe I can get this boat outta my life on Saturday morning.

[helghast7]

Sorry Michan.... I've had 'em, but didn't get my camera back until I had the FC flatbedded back to my place on Sunday. Here they are for the front. Rears need to be totally redesigned. I built a set from some flat 1/4" AL cut and drilled tapped but I'm going to get the original design adapted to work. I'll get some pics of that when I install the plates that I made.

Anyway, here they are, if you want a set for the front now, lemme know as I'm going to order some that are slightly different. The ones in the pics are 1/4" thick steel with some 1/16" washers. So the answer is some cut out of 5/16" and cadnium plated to prevent the rust. So lemme know if you want a set. There is only one more measurement that needs to be corrected. I had to file out the ID to fit over the hub.

Yeah I have been, see the last set of pics to illustrate what we went through for basically nothing. Still so pissed. First 2 days I have off I'm realling thinking about heading down to the Dragon just because. I can count on one hand the number of days I've had off in the last 6 weeks and I've had about 5 hours to work on the car since DGRRX.... sooooo bummed.

[TitaniumTT]

So I figured I should give ya a few updates. Haven't really done shit since DGRRX, work has been kicking my ass to the tune of 10-14hrs/day 6 days a week. So I'm still thrashing every chance I get, but I've had no time as other shit keeps coming up, as in my mothers truck

So anyway, here are some goodies

Pic of the rear of the car showing the battery/fuse/main disconnect mounting.... and of course the bitchin' Lizard Skin



MoTeC and TCMux mounting and wiring.



ID2000 injector in my grimy hand, pair of ID 725's in the rail. These things just look impressive. If you've ever looked at the antiquated Delphi injectors that alot of us run, you'd understand. I really can't wait to start tuning with these injectors



ID2000 in purple, ID725's in the rail.



Good shot of the attention to detail of the CJ Motorsports Fuel Rail

[TitaniumTT]

CJ Rail installed. Really looking forward to getting them to build me a rail even though I just bought the GURU rail. The GURU rail has it's shortcomings as well but it's the BEST option that's currently available. And when they say 3-4 day delivery from AU, they mean it.

Anyway - CJ rail



The big problem with the injectors and fitting them into the RE LIM is the 16mm+ opening for the injectors. I know alot of people just put a bigger o-ring on and call it done, but I was STRONGLY urged by Paul to NOT do that. So I looked around for the little adapter baskets and then a rail set to the right height and the Guru rail was it. Here's a pic of the little adapter bucket.



And installed in the LIM



The rail itself with the new ID2000's installed. If you look at the end, it's NOT a pipe thread as I would've liked to see. Instead it's a -8 ORB.



Now, how does one get a 1/2"NPT Marren FPD onto a -8ORB fitting. The answer is you don't without a myriad of adapter fittings. I hate adapter fittings. So after a 9 minute phone call to MoTeC and a 2 day wait, this little gem of a package arrives. Bosch FPD, -6 Banjo, and an M18x1.25 to -8 ORB fitting. Who the HELL has a fitting like that? MoTeC - the only company that continues to impress me. Now, do I put it on the front of the rail to show it off, of the end of the rail to make the plumbing easier?



And assembled

[TitaniumTT]

And this is what DGRRX will do to two seemingly normal people



And yes, that is my car cover..... 1/4" flannel lined, very warm



Still left to do wold be
Plumb the fuel system
wire up the GT101 Hall Sensors
a few body panels to put on
install the FTP's
change a front caliper out
Build a fuel cell - this is going to kick some serious ass.

[WE3RX7]

Bah... slacker.

You think you've done shit. I've had nothing short of wrapping up some interior stuff and jacking my car up in the last few weeks!


Looking good though - I love the fuel configuration! Must look into those injectors as well... when the time is right of course

[FC3S Murray]

Good progress Brian! Man it seems that slow FC work has been the pace for everyone this last month....I have only got 500 miles on the FC and barely any tuning done.

I am very impressed with Motec as well.....they really seem to hook there customers up indeed! I would have gone that route if I would have known about Motecs capabilities.


MAN I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE A PIC OF YOU SLEEPING.......................................... .........here is what you would really look like if you had your "perks" available that night lol
