Hows the high temp enamel holding up on the turbo manifold though?

Not terrible but not great, LOL. I had the car in the air yesterday and checked it out actually, some of it is starting to flake off. But still no rust! If I could do it over again I would have gotten them ceramic coated

And about the doors, it's a weld on kit and required A LOT of work, bottom line is they're not coming off, LOL. I agree they got played out and Civic's look ghey with them, but I honestly think the 8 lends itself well to the exotic look. They just look so sinister. I like em, so they stay, LOL. There are a select few cars that can pull off the look and I think the 8 is one of them

alright alright, well anyway, the car looks great and the turbo setup looks pretty sweet as well.

have you run it at the track yet? or on the dyno?

Haven't gotten it to the track yet. It always seems whenever the HPDE events come up I got something going on, or am broke LOL.

Dyno, I did 302-rwhp, 232 tq @ 9psi with a very safe tune, 10.9 AFRs and retarded timing. I've done tuning since then and would love to get her back on the dyno soon!

Dave,

Wow... awesome build. I know that we've only met a few times, but I'm impressed with what you've done to your ride. The fabrication work is top notch and I love the attention to detail. Very, very nice!!

Thanks Dave! I'm rolling, albiet with a partial tune for now. While tuning last week at UMS we ran into a "small issue" with my WG lines starting to melt (*yikes*), so I need to re-route the lines and fix the problem. Probably going to fab up some hardlines to remove the "worry" factor. We're having an RCCAZ club gathering this coming Saturday night on the NW side (83rd Av & Beardsley). I know it's a little short notice on the invite, but come up if you can. Would love to see your final product!

Not a problem. I just want you and others to know that even though our club has yearly dues, everyone's always welcome. I love to see people's projects and ways to approach problems. It's how we all make our rides better!

Look at the teeth on that Fabricator

It actually looks quite a bit like you M2

Hey, please bring back the "girl-on-girl" avatars. Somehow the clean-cut Japan-amation just doesn't fit your style (IMO)

Are you going to church or something??

The build looks terrific. I know you had a link to the car PC web site. What was the model number of the PC you used.

Thanks

chickenwafer · 06-19-2009, 12:36 AM

^No model number, it was a custom build built by a friend.
