Ah yeah I was wondering about that... how the header sits on an fb with an fc subframe swap... I also want a new exhaust on mine but I wanna make it all custom. I can't stand how pathetic and quiet the stock exhaust is... Got access to a welder now, so I need to get some piping and get to work. Not sure if I'd wanna make my own header though... kinda hard to do much better then a racing beat header... except maybe using bigger runners so it doesn't make such a sharp turn off the irons?

I guess you didn't make it down to sevenstock 16? It was sooo awesome! Worth every bit of the 10 hour drive.

yea that is way too far to push the car. ha

Whizbang · 11-17-2013, 11:04 PM

horrah its running. now i need a damned exhaust.

scarsofcarma · 11-19-2013, 04:55 PM

Horrah! Bring it by if you swing through the east bay sometime.

GSL-SE header is on. Improved the clearance over the FC header i was using. Which very well COULD be just a different model of the same header i did have. The old one was Racing Beat too, but longer, and a little different bends, but seemingly better build quality. Huh.

Also, the 48 IDA is sitting on my desk awaiting the various jets and venturi to arrive so i can get it onto the car. the stock EFI is just being too picky and I got this carb with my rally car so fook it. Why not use it.

Whizbang · 12-11-2013, 12:09 AM

carb is jetted and whatnot.

40mm venturi
195 air and fuel jet
F4 emulsion tube

also for various reasons, going manual brakes. 3/4 front 7/8 rear

scarsofcarma · 12-12-2013, 03:50 PM

Nice nice nice... I've never felt manual brakes I'm very curious

Whizbang · 12-12-2013, 07:31 PM

little more from today. starting to muck about with the brake pedal and whatnot for the wilwood masters too. Brake pedal is modified. Moved the attachment up some to get about a 6.5 pedal ratio versus the 4.77 factory. Need to do a little more welding and drilling to finish that off.

Whizbang · 12-13-2013, 07:12 PM

anyone ever seen a 7 with this pedal assembly?

Ubaru · 12-14-2013, 02:26 AM

Learning so much piece by piece. i now know a tad about my suspension an now have to check my oil pick up. i think something might be loose other than a bad front o ring. Even with a carb thats 90% screwed she will smoke the tires though so i doubt anything more major than the seals. i will see next weekend ater i rebuild the carb. an is a mt 25 850 cca battery what the 83's call for?

Whizbang · 12-14-2013, 04:37 PM

I think i have modified the oem pedal assembly enough to work! Pedal ratio is 6.5 ish (rounded). The lower attachment point has a nut welded to the back since you can actually get a bolt through, the bolt will be bolt from inside the car going out with a nut outside since you can't get the bolt passed the reservoir inlet. I need to prime and paint the assembly and then work on the firewall stuff.

never really payed attention to what model battery. i just get something between 800 and 1000 CCA with a terminal arrangement i like and go with it.

Thanks. an after a block heater an new battery she wont start. the littlest fuel floods it i think the carb went out or the coils but im getting spark. *sighs* the car is streining my relation ship with my fiance due to our distance and it not running being our only car. im pissed an about to burn it into the farking ground

Whizbang · 12-19-2013, 07:58 PM

dual master brakes! assembling tomorrow

scarsofcarma · 12-22-2013, 02:10 AM

Nice! Is it gonna be mounted and functional soon? I want to hear your impressions of force required and feel vs. the stock setup w/ vacume assist. If it really is an improvement, I may want to duplicate this setup in my own FB.
