Your Winter build/upgrade..Progress

[SlideWayzS13]

Just curious as to what we all might want to keep our eyes and ears out for as it starts to get a little warmer and longer daylight. Pics stories whatever you got!!!!!!

[Adam496]

A whole lot of parts and not a lot of money/progress.

[xEJ20x]

Just ideas I'm puttin into a list until I get the spare cash.

[Omar_MSP]

trying to buy a set of rims for this spring and tune my unichip. save up for tein coilovers and thats probably it for a while, i'm trying to payoff my car and then get some motor work done.

[OBEEWON]

Carbon carbon everywhere...

[Loserkidwac]

CRX is going under the knife for a really cool concept I have in mind hopefully something a little different then your normal honda build...I have most of the parts gathered now, just need a few smaller things which shouldn't be to expensive or hard to find...like some of the stuff I have now....so its top secret untill I get some progress done on it and then I'll share ;)

Koni Yellows with Ground Control coilovers 500lbs. springs front and 550lbs. springs rear - Arriving next week

Custom pillowball mounts front and rear for suspension - will be made after suspension comes in

Corner weighting and custom alignment - after suspension is installed

Lightweight/short exhaust (exit under car) - built by sponsor Agile Auto within the month

Driver Mod - still needs practice :mrgreen:


Everything should be at the house within the next two weeks, at which point we can start putting the suspension together. Then get the new wheel/tire package installed to determine how much negative camber can be attained (looking for -2.5 camber and zero toe). Should be a good 2008 if I can learn to drive faster. :wink:

[lawdogg]

Nice projects guys. Mine is on hold for the snow to go away - then some suspension maintanance, new fuel pump assembly, and I can put in my 550's and raise the boost!

Uh-huh! I didn't think many EPFBA'ers were here but I'm seeing more and more!

[HibachiZ28]

Oh, nothing special with mine. I need to repaint the entire car, get a shift kit & new driveshaft to fix my horrible vibes.

Dynatech Exhaust cones to quiet the damn car for long trips:

Custom projector headlights:
http://www.fd3s.net/lights/Hella1.jpg

I already have all the items required for the t-top conversion as well as the projector headlights (eventually D2S HID's). The t-top project should be started/finished within 4-6 hours. The projectors should be about the same 4-6 hours. I also need an upgraded wiring harness. I have to go purchase that this Friday I guess. FUN!

[turbo4g63]

this winter i did absolutely nothing to the car....just some mild street tuning w/ the safc II. Thats it. I picked up a set of drag radials so i can finally get some traction at the track, but i'm pretty much done modding the car. No sense in dumping more money into it at this point

[Scapegoat]

oi, good luck with a t-top conversion... Do the factory cars come with extra pieces to help stabilize the body? Also gotta watch out for leaking... I heard its worse than factory when you add in ttops...

[DPancoast]

Nothin to crazy for me. I'm doing my exhaust tomorrow. Full 3" with a highflow cat and no muffler. It'll sounds siccccck I hope.

Other than that, I am in the market for coilovers and then a set of rota slipstreams. Then I'm happy for a while until I want to get a touchscreen/navigation head unit and some real components and stuff to replace the infiniti's that are in there now. I need more BASS! lol. Then after that, maybe a new coat of red paint....

[SLDWYSJDM]

im picking up an FC in a couple of weeks, non turbo but I will also be doing a 5spd. conversion plus new headers and full exuast. It's gonna be fun.

[HibachiZ28]

I've done my research :) All 93-02 F-bodies came with t-top cutouts from the factory. I just need to cut a few inches off of the panel from the a to b pillar on both sides. No need to strengthen as it'll be just like a t-top car at that point, though I do want SFC's anyway.

From those I've talked to who did this, they said it was an easy job and no leaks at all. They said it's better than their friends factory t-tops. So that's pretty cool. We'll see how it goes :)

no man don't do it. convert it to be a 6 speed aka v8 with a t56 in it :) o and i have the pedals if you need it for the manual setup

^^^^ i'd actually have to see it in person to see if i like it. but right now, (not saying that its sucks or anything) i just don't like the whole corvette thing in an rx7.

but maybe when i see it, hear it, watch it perform, than i'll probably like it more.

lol its ok being that i have a light car with a muscle car motor i know its faster :) i can tell you with stock exhaust manifolds and just a short intake and with 2.92 rear end gears i know i am going to do better then 12.6 and now that i have wider rims 17 x8 i can handle the power better. i had 205/50/17 all around now i am going 225/45/17 in the front and 255/40/17 in the rear :)
Man....your all kinda of confused. Rx7...chevy power...mustang wheels.......
