Joff and MrsJoff's Chaste White BorgWarner FD build

Very original, thinking out of the box.

My new project

It took a lot of convincing to get Jesse to agree to this. He was not that happy about having to remove the ABS, brake drum and everything else. But he did, and I think it is well worth it. Now we can also clean up all the stuff that was removed. I am a very happy camper now!

The white is not an identical match. But it is much better than the dirty, yellowed, burnt color currently in the engine bay.

YAAA!!

So, are you guys planning to paint the entire engine bay (around the shock towers and up to the front as well)? When are you going to be done with this project? Next Sevenstock?

Tell Jesse to start burning up some of his vacation time!!

Painting is done. We did the whole engine bay.

Taking some vacation next week but not working on the car-- going to SEMA again.

I had to stop my fiberglass water/meth tank because I ran out of the special methanol resistant resin and its not something you can find anywhere local. I got the internal baffling done though.

Fasteners I got through ebay. I changed my mind about using the red ones since I think they're just a little too showy for me and am planning on using only the black ones.

This post is not about the FD, sorry. But, since we are in Las Vegas, it is about SEMA. Just having to brag a little bit. While walking around we ran into Tanner Foust and I got a sig and pic with him. I LOVE Tanner!!!

I don't know who the little bald guy is, he kind of slipped into the picture. He is some drifter guy that competes with Tanner.

And for all you Petrol Heads, we were invited to an exclusive screening of the History Channels U.S. version of Top Gear.

While Jesse and I were sitting there waiting for the show to begin we mentioned how we would never accept the new hosts since they would not be Jeremy, Richard or Captain Slow. Much to our surprise and excitement, one of the new hosts is TANNER FOUST!!!! Did I mention how much I LOVE Tanner?!!!?? They did not change a thing about the show. The great cinematography is the same, the same type of challenges and commentary while driving in the cars. I think they did a great job. And Tanner Foust is in it

They went with the History Channel so they can give honest opinions of the cars, without bothering whether it hurts the car manufacturer. The show starts Nov 21st at 10pm. Set your Tivo's now!!

We also got video of Ken Block drifting in the parking lot. He was giving ride alongs in his bad ass little 650hp Ford Fiesta. That would be a blast, as long as they had a barf bucket in there. We will post all the pics and videos in the regional section once we get back home.
