i ordered all the items to finish up my GT35R for FD Vegas. now all i can do is hope everything gets here in time. can't wait to have external waste gate dumping rotary making 400whp+. 3.5" downpipe is going to be mental.

it's been a long time coming.

@myke. never got your text, but the wheels are pending anyways.

spent a little bit of time tonight prepping the aero, and repairing some damage from the last event, plus the last few Udrift sessions.



had some friends come by and help out.


getting ready to stunt with pearl flake.


glassed the backside of my fender. gotta grind down the front, and fill it, then resin/cloth the rear again to make it stronger - then prep for paint.


My friend Vic helped bang the firewall out. quick disconnect style, yet space for my fuel cell, surge tank, and bosch 044 pump that i'll be throwing on after FD Vegas when i make the switch to E85.


and where i'm at right now @ 5:50am. touching up the rear aero paint. halfway finished.

you're right for sure. im not doing E-85 until after FD Vegas. probably before sema though.
im going to tune/run VPC16 for FD Vegas to help out since im lacking water/meth right now... i was trying to look into a 50 shot of nitrous or something to fogg the intercooler to keep charge temps down but thats still too much $$ for right now. but definitely in the future ill be toying with some nutty things.

Manifold came in! Udrift session?

[driftfcbuckey]

Turbo on. i think i might need to add another flange to the top of the ebay manifold to space it out a bit more but who doesnt expect to do some work to a $100 manifold designed for an FD RX7.

[driftfcbuckey]

dropped off the manifold @ DDS Performance to be re-clocked to space the turbo a little bit further away from the lower intake manifold runner to help keep the heat away as best as possible.

everything is coming together. can't wait for thursday night practice.

it's your old turbo.

[driftfcbuckey]

got my Ebay FD Manifold back from DDS Performance. Kyle added an extra flange and boxed it in to angle the turbo away from the lower intake manifold to help keep the hotside as far away as possible.


Clearance for days now.
