wow that's gonna be a very nice car...good luck with her and I hope all goes smooth on the build up /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/applause.gif

 

[Scientist]

yeah..still have to address engine management and engine rebuild.

Plans for next year include a cusco roll cage

 

I love that color silver as we didn't get it on VR-4s in the states, we did get Kensington grey which is darker however. I would keep it the same silver if I were you. Makes it more original in this hemisphere at least. Good luck!

 

[boostx]

yep that silver is sweet

 

[NYC86ZC]

Nice man. Looks like that FMIC has seen better days.

I was in Dominica about a year ago and saw some pretty sweet EDM/JDM cars when i was there.

Good luck with the car and take some after pics when it's done.

That's the part I hate /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

That's going to be a very nice ride when you get it done. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/applause.gif

edit Do you have a heat shield for that exhaust manifold? I'm thinking of getting that same manifold, and I haven't resolved the heat shield situation to my satisfaction yet.

If you will not be running a heat shield on the exhaust mani, may I humbly suggest that you re-install the hood heat shield/insulation?

It would be a shame to have your fresh paint damaged from all that heat your new set-up will produce.

 

[Scientist]

Well the under hood insulation was already gone b4 i bought the car. I will have to fabricate something.

Thanks for the link sag...i was talking to my friends about getting one last night since they were asking me how am i going to handle re-installation and dealing with oil once the new paint goes on the car

[Scientist]

Well finally about 70% of my parts have arrived.

Still need exhaust and a few others....but the ETS front mount is here as well as everything i ordered from street tuned motorsports

Your car is definitely a sexy one! Good choice of parts too! Should make you scoot right along!
