Mitchocalypse build V2

[Mitchocalypse]

small updates:

put this new dif cover on. I saw this online and thought "oh thats a cool part".. so i got it for the cool factor.

greddy vs. stock:








also got a few more things on order:
-aluminum baffled oil neck
-HKS oil cap
-proper ventilated oil catch tank system -10an lines from oil neck and i'm also going to run a line from the rear oil return port to the catch tank. I was reading (all-be-it on the other forum) that a lot of people who track their FD's say this is the ideal way to run the ventilation system.
-carbon fiber door sills (cause i couldn't find any good condition OEM ones for sale)
-RICE water injection kit

put my interior back together for the most part. Using black door panels. Going to pick up some black kick panels this weeked to finish up my 1/2 black conversion (I'm leaving the roof red.)

installed new rear strut tower bar

I'll take a few pics tomorrow and post. with a good camera. (sorry about those diff pics

There are a few dust specs that will we wet sanded and polished out, and there is a tiny clear coat run on the bottom of the spoiler. Thats pretty much all the flaws there are.
Even where some holes were filled, the turn signals on the front fenders, the antenna and wiper.. can't even tell they were there.

nice... looks awesome... I'm excited to see you around in it once its running

Fine. Pictures with an actual camera.

Interior is still pretty dirty cause I haven't cleaned it yet and probably won't for a while. I Epoxy'd the SHIT out of the inside of the breaky door handle and i will be shocked if it ever breaks. (Terrible oem design. wtf were they thinking? Also.. I require a RHD map pocket lid still.. if anyone just happens to have one lying around. Oh.. and the steering wheel needs to go..





gross dirty:




oh and one more for..

dat wiiiing

[Mitchocalypse]

took a few more baby steps today..

First I relocated the igniter to outside the engine bay behind the fender. Probably the cleanest "wire tuck" i've ever done too. Mad impressed with myself although it was really really easy lol.



and the result:


mounted coils and plug wires...
not the cleanest thing in the engine but you can barely see them anyways when it's all said and done. I might relocate them to the frame rail later but this will last long enough:


and with the igniter gone, it made mounting the twin power pretty easy:





the flash makes the engine bay look dirtier than it is




maybe i should start studying for exam season..

LOLOLOLOL

Bit of an update..

Got the turbo last week. I'm sure most of you have seen a T04Z but just in case.. heres a piece of canadiana as a size reference


more TiAL:


and a mock up of the last of the aero.
fitment is A- but it really complete's the look. Not painted but they're black so it gives a good idea. There aren't any bolts holding it on so thats why the front is off.

Bring it!

Made this mock up the other night. Looks cool

You should really fabricate some form of heat shield for the lim - wrapping it in the gold tape doesn't really do a whole lot compared to a rigid shield and an air barrier. It's pretty easy and cheap too, you can just drill and tap a couple mounting holes in the passages for the acv (if you have it blocked off) and just bolt a heat shield made of your material of choice.

[DriFD3S]

Mitch, I'm not even kidding,
I would sell my soul for some of your car parts.

Keep up the great build bro!!!

[RICE RACING]

That is allot of waste gate springs!

I need two of those cunts for my new turbo set up

Your motor turbo combo is great! it will perform GAG FACTOR
We can add it to the fast FD thread when you are done

I'll probably get some of these made at the same time i have my water tank fab'd up. cause yeah.. definitely seems like a simple and effective solution.
