Actually, I bought the car on Ebay from a guy in Hawaii back in 2000 when buying something on Ebay was seen as being really "risky." He was getting zero bids on the car Stateside due to the logistics of shipping, which worked out well for me. I contacted him personally, got him to shut down his auction, then agreed to a price offline. Once we worked out the deal, I transferred funds to him and owned the car for 45 days before I ever laid eyes on her as I waited for the car to be shipped from Honolulu to Long Beach.

Longest 45 days of my life, let me tell you!!

proz07..... here's a couple of pics of my radiator mockup as promised.

Maybe the 99spec front end is in the works? i love that front end.

ok i think i see what your doing originally a regular replacement koyo, and once you mod it it will be a dual pass with the in/out in the correct spot.
thanks

Pops - great build thread!

Glad you opted to keep the OEM US Spec front end. They look fantastic - much better, in my opinion, than the 99 spec's.

You're always welcome. We plan a trip or two each year down your way as well. I'll keep you in the loop if we don't connect before our next outing to the 'Ol Pueblo!

Just got back from visiting Glen down at AZRR. Motor should be coming home tomorrow. Until then, here's a couple of pics to show everyone what's going in my ride!!

Looking good Tim, you should make me some extra v-mount brackets.

Hey James.... funny, you know, everything I'm making for my Vmount kit, I end up thinking... I should just probably make 2 sets, since James is gonna want the same setup once I'm finished. Hopefully it will turn out to meet everyone's expectations

Thanks rotorhead87. Yea, I've finally gotten off my butt and am starting to make some serious progress. Keep checking in, since this is the season to work in AZ garages, so it will definitely be completed SOONER than LATER.

Forgot to post these up earlier. The engine pull shot should have been the first in my thread

Also, wanted to give props to Glen at AZRR and show off the excellent port job on my plates and housings. Beautiful, beautiful work!

RCCAZ 1 · 12-30-2008, 09:15 PM

Well, we finally brought her home yesterday. Can't wait to get it installed and fired up. Thanks again to Glen and Tom from Arizona Rotary Rockets for all your hard work. Here's a couple of pics of the engine being loaded up by Glen (left) and Tom (right). Also, a shot of her sitting in my garage (but not for long). It was SOooo cool to have the engine delivered in Tom's REPU!!

Got back from visiting my welder this morning. Completed our patchwork on the bottom of the Koyo. Patched 2 holes and moved the drain plug as you can see. Also tacked up my intercooler mounting brackets and installed for a test fit. Turned out incredible (IMO). Next up will be getting the engine installed and completing fabrication of my radiator end tanks with the motor in the car to verify correct positioning and angles for the radiator IN and OUT hoses.
