My サバンナFC3S

Replaced all the vacuum and fuel lines with silicon hoses. Here's a picture of the old crappy hoses.

After nearly 2 years of collecting parts and getting my funds together it is finally time to pick up this bad boy.



Now I have to wait a couple of weeks so I can buy my Racing Beat Header & Pre-Silencer/Cat Replacement. I can't wait!! it is going to be such a tease having this outside of my car =/

[Gabriel82]

here are a couple more pictures of the engine

I paid 320 to get the irons resurfaced at Racing Beat
I paid 1200 to get the engine rebuilt (long block) that includes street porting, installation of the turbo2 sleeves, pressing of the bearings, installation of the intake manifolds and getting all the parts painted.

Does Racing Beat reapply anything to the plate surface after lapping them?

[Gabriel82]

From what I recall all they did was spray the irons with WD40 to keep it from oxidizing

very clean looking rebuild.

[Gabriel82]

thanks, I really appreciate it. Just a few more weeks till I get to drop in the engine

[Sideo]

engine looks GREAT

[Gabriel82]

Thanks, I should be posting a before and after of the transmission after I finish cleaning it. Hopefully I have enough time to mate the transmission to the engine.

[Gabriel82]

Okay so I haven't had the time to post updated pictures.

Here goes:
I started cleaning the transmission but didn't have enough time to finish it so my pops took over. He got bored staying indoors because he is retired so he had fun shinning the transmission up.

[Gabriel82]

Before bolting up the transmission I decided to change out the mounts and the front and rear main seal.







Again my pops got a little bored so he cleaned up the starter

[Gabriel82]

So I took the liberty of rebuilding the power steering rack since I think it's the original one that came with my FC.
Before:


After:

Of course you have to keep your eyes peeled for some good deals. I came up on the racing beat cat back for really cheap.

[Gabriel82]

Not to long ago I bolted the transmission the the engine. I also mocked up the oil cooler with the RB SS Oil Cooler Lines.

I also picked up the Racing Beat Street Header and Pre-Silencer, along with Mazda Competition Mounts.
