Thanks guys!


It's at the paint shop as we speak. A few details of what is being done.


- Complete repaint of exterior, door jams, and engine bay in Montego Blue

- Anti-chip lower strip smoothed and removed

- Feed Type I bumper fitted

- Ganador mirrors fitted

- Antenna hole shaved

- Badges removed except Efini emblems

- New headlight lids 

- New vent on driver side (missing the little grill. Pricey at $140 each!)

- New windshield

- Fenders rolled


From there I will be going to work!!


- New Rywire harness with integrated water injection wiring

- Wire tuck

- Vmount repositioning and add ducting

- Ceramichrome as much as possible (bolt heads, brackets, alternator, fuel rails, fittings, WI tank and coolant piping)

- New ported shroud for my 35R (should get at least 5lbs of air)

- Turbo inspected & possible CHRA replace

- Relocate EGT probe to manifold

- Rewrap header, and DP then paint with DEI 1500deg silicone paint


I'm sure there is more.....


Come Spring, it should be ROCKING!!

Some updates...


Spoke with the body shop a few days ago. The FD is painted and it's being buffed and assembled. I will be picking it up next Saturday. I'm ecstatic to say the least. 


My new turbo and manifold arrived a few days ago. I put my polished housing on it and snapped a few pictures. I ordered Rx7store's downpipe and plan to have a local shop plumb in the wastegate once I get an idea of how it will all go together. I also picked up a new T4 blanket on the club. All blue fittings will be replaced with black once and for all. 


My T3 35R kit will be going up for sale soon.






Also got my early Christmas present. Datalogit is on its way.
