It was retired from DD status 1 March 2007.
neither can I. I want to go on this Years Turkey Trot with the son. nice Drive up and down 89A.

 

so what are you using for a daily driver these days?

 

A Saturn Sl2 or an Acadia. Just depends on the day.

 

It's been three weeks since we have heard how the install is going.

 

The LIM is in and so are the upflowed injectors.
I just cant get a break to upload the new pics, and then last night i find out the mem card was formated.....

Oh well thats why i have recovery software. Pics this weekend.

 

PIcs of LIM with VDI and APV cleaned and installed.




It's in the car! (yes it's not a direct color match)


This one shows the wires and rail nicely.

 

Damn man this is pretty damn nice and that I love the tubular design of that manifold. So envious!!!!

 

Freakin' awesome man!! just take a tooth brush and some simple green ti the connectors, misc stuff and when you done it will be show quality.

 

I want more updates man!!!

That LIM came out very sexy. Giving me ideas....hmmm

 

Luv it, very nice...

 

bump

 

^^^ Thanx.

nothing really new to report with the Holidays here.

Rerouted the AT cooler lines, and pulled out thier temp sendsers.

They have done thier part in proving that the BHR radiator does actually do a better job cooling AT fluid compared to the OEM cooler. So dont need them in there anymore. They may get re-tasked to be somewhere else.

The engine bay material is now missing. It was starting to fall apart and looked like rats had been in there.

Just waiting for time to re-do the Thermostat piping tree.

has anyone here really looked at that thing? Has almost the same crazy routing of in's and out's like a heart.

After that is complete, shouldn't be that much work left. IC piping back to the TB will follow the Greddy path on the drivers side of the bay.

 

Dave's car is back on the hoist. We got swamped with work here. Hoping to pump this out, as we have another Rx-8 to do...

 

Very nice build!

Mind me asking where you got the manifold flange? The one I got from mazdatrix wasnt nearly that nice.

-EDIT Derrr..Racing beat, helps to read the first post I"ll have to use that one when I do the final version of my setup

 

did you read the first post at all?
lol
racing beat

ooo got me on the ninja edit

 

Lolz

 

I am very sneaky sir!

 

The motor mount and downpipe are being worked on this week.

 

are we going to see this beast at this years sevenstock?

 

+1^

 

Charles and I were over looking at Dave's car yesterday. Looks like it's going to turn out real nice.

 

We got the DP flange from the BHR guys, we are ready to rock and roll...

 

in some shape or form, yes.

I'm glad you guys were able to see it in it's build state.

Fixed.

 

Plans for this Saturday. Fix the f$@^&$(.)(.) rear trailing spark plug. When the recall program for bad cats and low compression came out, the dealership also did the plugs.


They managed to x-thread the rear trailing plug and you can visibly see that its stuck in there at an angle. bastards !
It's been in there for close to 22k. and the dealership is out of business.

Two things can happen here.
1. all goes smooth and no problems
2. they could have possibly managed to crack the spark plug hole jacket.. and end up with a coolant leak.

It's pretty meaty so not too worried about the latter. This has to be resolved to make any serious power.

 

oh man......... that sucks...

good luck!
