April 6th, 2012 - I been also working on the MB FD.

For the MB, I got hold of rare RE-Amemiya dual Dolphin tip catback.

i had a bit of an issue taking the old one out and took 4 hours vs. normal 30-45mins.. All because of this one nut!

How did you attach the cargo cover clips to the bottom of the brace or is the cover just free floating in there??

Cargo clips are attached to the brace like stock.

I feel sorry for any small critters that cross your path if they don't get caught in the V-mount they will be shredded by a turbo the size of a bucket.

Looks great so far if TT ever logs back in he will harass you about using A/N line for coolant hoses though.

When is the projected date of completion?

Where are you going to put the fan for the radiator?

Nice Phil....What hp are you going to make and what trans are you using. It looked like a stock FD trans it I remember correctly. If you are going stock, you should drive my car at DGRR and see what you think of mine. It has been built by Liberty with face-plated gears...it is the same as SK8Worlds..maybe you drove his??? Let me know if you want to check mine out.

Bobby, I'm shooting for 650-700.. We'll see if I could do it or not (E85).
I'll be using a stock tranny and I now have 3 spare ones just in case

I would love to check it out if you don't mind.

Problem I'm having is that because the LIM is lowered, I don't think coils can fit under like the 13B RE.

We are still working on things and I think there is a plan set to do that.. Engine related fab work should be done in next month or so... after that, its all about paint and body... and making the engine bay pretty

god damnit, you always get all the good stuff Phil

general7 · 04-14-2012, 09:01 AM

I'm almost speechless... looks bad ass!!

C. Ludwig · 05-02-2012, 03:57 PM

Saw the car last weekend and the pictures don't do the fab work justice. Phil really hasn't even shown pictures of the most impressive of the work. His man Walker is the real deal. One of the radiator hard lines that goes from round, to oval, and back to round tubing, all while making several bends, looks like something you would see in LMP or Indy Car.

Can't wait to see the finished product!
