94 Chaste white build

[fdeeznutz]

The car, as purchased in 2002 54k miles(minus the wing, Eibachs, and Mazdaspeed MS01 wheels)
It had Apex-i intakes, Trust catback, mid+down pipe, Power FC. I later added a Eibach's, Peter Farrell SMIC, Pettit power pulley, Greddy pullies, HKS BOV, 99 spec front lip, and Advan 18's.
The car made 301rwhp and 298 tq at 10psi. Had the Power FC tuned by Steve Kahn.
Pictures in chronological order.




This was the last picture taken right before I started tearing into the motor.^^

I originally had a leak coming from the front cover on a 15k mile reman.
I was only going to fix the oil leak and put new motor mounts in but things started looking bad.
I pulled the turbos and they were absolutely trashed, huge cracks, oil coming from everywhere. I tossed them out and started looking around for something to replace the poor turbos. Meanwhile I sent the motor off to have them tear it down fix the leak and make sure everything looked good. Well.....I got a call a little later, it needed a rebuild. I was starting to see a chance for me to change nearly everything at once, not an easy task.
I wanted a fairly reliable car once I had everything done so no huge turbos for me. I am not building my car for HP. I want it to be responsive and fun to drive.

Damn, that looks fantastic.

I love white cars (see sig), and if I were to ever break down and buy an FD, it would HAVE to be white. Which is impossible to find!!

Good build.

It's in the car finally!

Looking good!!! I remember the first time I ever saw your username... I was at work drinking something and spit it on the computer screen. Can't wait to see it finished.

VERY nice.. I am super impressed... keep this thread going..

[fdeeznutz]

Thanks guys.

A couple more pictures,

Look at this nasty thing

Stock turbos 70k miles, rough shape to say the least.

Coming out

New motor. Street ported, new rotor housings.

nice oil pan brace who makes that?

and that is a lot of sealant? or what is that red stuff, i thought it was best to keep it at the feet areas of the housings only

White FDs look soooooooooooo good. I'm contemplating a color change on mine about the time the engine pukes up the seals.

It's an Arizona Rotary Rockets Brace. Check them out in the vendor section. Also talk to Glen about the red stuff, I don't have a clue.

very nice car. I am switching colors to chaste white this year. Something very clean and sleek about a white FD. Keep updating with some interior shots please

thanks, Dave

[fdeeznutz]

Thanks guys.
A couple more pics of the interior and wheels. I haven't had much time to work on the 7 lately so it's just sitting. I bought a project truck a while ago that I now need to daily drive and there are tons of things wrong with it. Hopefully I'll have it running soon. Be aware that my car is filthy at the moment and riding high.
Just need a black carpet kit and it should be set.

nice. Is that the redline shift boot and e-boot? Looks perforated with white stitch Looks really nice. I was thinking of charcoal or black alcantra with white stitching. Very nice again
