7 minute(s) of a 569 minute read

Couple of more pics from the IA..

These are taken during my break down.. I had to disconnect the starter and push start the car as starter was constantly spinning..

When I got home, I troubleshoot the car and found that oil or some liquid was making contact between POS cable to the starter and starter solenoid harness..

Also, I had a chance to get something SUPER rare.. It should be coming in tomorrow..

Update..

I decided to swap out my RE-A speedo and put it into a new more rare cluster..

So, I swapped it into the 30th anniversary cluster..

Another reason for doing this is because 30th anniversary lights up in green

Few more pics of the unit..

I decided to swap out my other gauges with the new Prosport Gauges, the EVO series..

I kind of like the digital read out.

Sweet!!!

Well, looks like I'll be picking up the shell after SEMA.. I'm currently talking with the local fabricator (MPFab.com) about building a V mount set up and a new method of latching the hood. 

Once I get the car, I'm going to spend the next month working out the wiring to get all the ABS/PS/AC/Heater/SRS/Radio, etc taken off and simplify the engine bay and inside. 

I'm planning to just run the Defi DSSC to monitor all and that's it (no extra gauges).

This will be the last FD I'm going to build in my life...

Finally got my engine from my builder over the weekend..

Ported 13B-REW block for 13B-RE LIM.. This is going in my silver FD with RZ tranny and new 99 twins. 

I also picked up my MS-01S wheels from the powder coating guy. Will post pics of the wheels when I get them on the car.

Thanks for the link!!

Well, here is an update... 

After SEMA, I went to New Orleans and picked up my new project FD.

And after bring it back, I brought it to my friend/fabricator's shop, Morgan Performance Fabrications (www.MPFab.com).

Car will stay here for couple of months for some custom Vmount, manifold, etc made...

Over the week, I been prepping the 20B for a test drop in in the new shell so the fabricator can make the V mount, turbo manifold (ditching my old one), and other things.

Anyhow, Here are some pics of the engine with Defined Autoworks mounting kit.

More pics later on today as the engine will is going in in 3 hours.

Just trying to finally build my 3 rotor that I been wanting to build for like 7 years.. Now, I'm getting motivated and have a purpose to build it.

It will be more track inspired car and hopefully I'll do some track events and let my friends son do some time trials with it (he was a former enduro cart champ).

Anyhow, this morning, I had a chance to test fit the motor in the new shell... 

There are some issues with the TB elbow and few other things.. The fabricator, Walker Morgan from www.MPFab.com is going to fix all the issues and build me an amazing V mount set up!!
