Nah! You Do You Do.

UPDATE:

So things have been slow AGAIN!! This time of year is never good for me, anyway I have been working on the FC when time allows.

I have almost finished fabricating my 4'' CAI just like rx7builders. I just have to fit my S5 front bumper to see how much room my air filter will have near the passenger brake duct so it doesnt hit. I cant decide if I want to powercoat the piping black or not. Here are the pre-staging pics:

I had to replace my throttle cable since the first cable un-wound on me will trying to put on a swedge. New one fits great and I have 100% throttle with the pedal to the floor.

Replaced my fuel rail Russel adapter with a Summit compression fitting...just not comfortable with the plastic clip on the rail. Not worth the risk IMHO. Really hating the blue fuel lines now...they may go black too.

Got my Willwood 7/8th bled....WHAT A PROCESS!! The only word of advise I can give for new members is to make the Master Cylinder Rod as short as possible(meaning fully threaded through the clutch pedal clevis). I have a tick performance speed bleeder so the job only required ME. It only took about 4bleed cycles to get the entire system air free. All that is left is to adjust the pedal throw come time when I start to drive it.

I did get my Magnaflow muffler tips welded on my 6" mufflers (thanks Ransom!!). They will look tits!

Here is how the motor sits right now...collecting dust:

...ignore the BDC sticker lol

Lookin very nice. I am freakin out with spring coming and having nothing to play with. To the point where that STI at Bennet is making me think of selling my rotor bits the 2 and trading my truck in. I am going to have to try and bum co-drives all this season I think.

project86 · 03-06-2011, 09:56 PM

wow sean its lookin good.. i need to come see it in person next time im in GF. so whats with the deal with the dildo shaped shifter? haha...

do you still have your mazdaspeed knob?

FC3S Murray · 03-06-2011, 11:13 PM

Thanks kyle.

That knob gets you all excited doesn't it Kyle? lol! The pics dont do it justice and wait to ya feel the texture of the the delrin....feels like silk, it is crazy

No I sold the mazdaspeed knob long time ago. I thought about trying to use it but the T56 shifter is M16 in size...pretty damn tough.

Ransom: DO IT!!

project86 · 03-06-2011, 11:20 PM

Yes... im all sorts of turned on by that knob.. and dammit... i guess ill have to sell my soul to buy another one. i get rid of shit too soon haha. i need to stop doing that.

chibikougan · 03-06-2011, 11:21 PM

Haha I can't justify $200 a month on car insurance. I will just bum co driver off you and anyone else I can. Haha

***TitaniumTT*** · 03-06-2011, 11:58 PM

Grind it down a little and re-spin it for the right threads! I plan on pulling my shifter out of the Cherokee tomorrow so I can die it for the M12x whatever the RX8 5spd knob is....

Yeah thought about that too but it is a little after the fact. Plus the price of that Mazdaspeed shift knob is crazy!

I will get some better pics of my current shift knob...it doesnt look bad, I just had shitty pics f*ckers

FC3S Murray · 03-07-2011, 09:54 AM

***TitaniumTT*** · 03-07-2011, 01:08 PM

Leave the Mazdaspeed knob alone, re-die the threads on the shifter.... but it is a GM product so be careful, it might snap in half when you apply 6-7ft/lbs to spin the die.

Why is there a dildo where a shifter should be? Ohhhhh.... it's not a dildo... it's a male same sex marital aid.... afterall, the car is now gay

project86 · 03-07-2011, 02:19 PM
