Diary of a Madman; TitaniumTT's see you @ DGRRXI RE-REbuild

helghast7 · 09-01-2010, 07:46 PM

you have another build thread??? dude put a link up! my internet ritual is, check fs sections on 7 club, check tuesday night thread on 8 club, check brians build thread on rcc, mail, fb sleep lmao! i dont wander from that path unless theres a very good reason

***TitaniumTT*** · 09-02-2010, 09:45 PM

I've got another build, but not a thread about it yet. Calm yourself Dave, it's just the 'vert..... for which I still need to get out to you to snag that engine

Nothing special this time around. Rebuild the N/A engine, Abdul's old rx8 seats.... which might actually go in on Sunday. Swap out the molding, the tails, the markers, Atihun hood, relocate the battery and replace with that miata one... by the way, where did you get that again? stereo, and go through the suspension this winter. If I start driving it alot, I may go for a TII/RE..... maybe a renisis swap, 6-spd trans (if we can make the other work.... which we will) and rear with a Torsen. If I do boost the girl, it'll be a W2A setup with a decent... probably a GT32 turbo. But that's getting ahead of myself. I'd want the FD done before that and who knows when that'll get done. Gotta get that torque curve to masturbate to posted up first

helghast7 · 09-02-2010, 11:35 PM

haha nice, i still get excited when you build cars

doesnt matter how tuned down they supposedly are, you still shoot for the roof

and i have to look through my favorites i have i saved i just dont remember were i put it lol ill pm you the link when i find it

i actually like the battery a lot, ive had it sit for a while, it completely died on me, i drove it around for a weekend and its now back to normal haha, not bad for a little battery

WE3RX7 · 09-03-2010, 07:28 PM

I'm still living THROUGH Brian and his FC, lol. Between the other two FCs in my driveway, the nursery build out and the rx8.. my project book is full up til after October!

Looking forward to that vert build thread though!

That's good to know about the battery. I've had nothing but problems with my current Optima. in fact, they're going to replace it under warranty. SHould've remembered to take it with me when I left the car @ Dave's. Oh well, what can ya do? Definately going to be putting one in the 'vert.

Yeah yeah yeah Dave, egg me on a little with the build

It'll be de-tuned this time around. Ported, sweet exhaust etc etc. Nothing to outrageous. Should net ~150ish rwhp..... for now

haahahahaha.... I guess I need to find someone to live my FD build through..... Dave, you up for it?

Bill, you, MC & I still need to pick a date when the FC is dyno ready and not just ready to be a dyno queen. You know, get up on her thrown and do nothing but pout all day as she usually does. I've got a list going - The Prissy Little Attention Whore Shit List as I've dubbed it. When that's done, we need to pick a date and get out there. Maybe the 25th? You guys can hang around for the Rotary Factory Meet?

I'll get the thread up this weekend hopefully. I've got a ton of errands to run today, then I'm going to pull the engine. Tomorrow is dedicated to installing the RX8 seats, and hopefully getting the interior back together? Doubt it though. I'm planning on a full 8 hours to do the seats, probably more. I love the RX8 seats, but they're a motherfucker to install. No, they don't just bolt in

idk what your talking about mine bolted right in

WE3RX7 · 09-04-2010, 09:51 PM

25th of Sept? Cant... got a BBQ that day, lol... I'm not sure when I'll have a weekend free honestly until after the new year!!

***TitaniumTT*** · 09-17-2010, 08:15 AM

So I got a call from Dave yesterday, he's got the tranny all sorted out. He's probably got the thing back in the car already, and even if I have to hitch-hike, I'm getting out there tomorrow. So unless I'm to busy playing with my new, ah, shifter, I'll be able to update this thing with actual pics, and then hopefully an auto-z vid on Sunday... WOOT!

***TitaniumTT*** · 09-17-2010, 08:16 AM

So yeah, Anyone in the area heading out to Daves tomorrow?

vex · 09-17-2010, 08:34 AM

Just one question B... What's an 'auto-z?'

I would but my car is going to the shop today and I'm not even in your state!

jtbshaw · 09-17-2010, 08:35 AM

That's good news B. Glad to hear it's coming along. Finally got mine fired up and timing dialed in a little better...then the kinks started showing up. Cooling system adjustments this weekend FTW! Might actually move on its own power this weekend. WOOT!

2gslse · 09-17-2010, 10:45 AM

I cant make it just limped my truck home from vacation (major ps leak) post up some pics/progress and don't shoot it with the new toys.

Kinks..... They never fully go away. It's really just an evil gremlin roving from one system to another trying to systematically break down your will to modify cars. When that little fucker has no place to hide, I'm going to catch him, and torture him for years as he has done to us. Good to hear though Todd, now make a build thread damnit.

Both of us were getting to that point. Sorry to hear about the PS pump though. Mine blew up in my Jeep a few years ago. The Napa lifetime replacements are tempting, but they suck balls. So far from Napa in thier lifetime replacement line I have bought 2 rad's, one ps pump, and one brake caliper... ALL have failed.

Get the fuck on the rd then in about 2 hrs. I'm leaving in 3 so we should be there at about the same time.....

2gslse · 09-18-2010, 07:54 AM

My pump is fine but I busted a return line and lost about a gallon of fluid from S.C. to Va. works ok but a pita to fill up every 40-50 miles or risk losing steering. waiting on a new line since my fittings rusted out but the good news is I think I'm gonna pick up another rotary
