Sorry I totally misread your post.

SpuGen 03-03-2014 01:16 PM

I think he means the set was $800. Like Ebay/Megan/bullshit

Reinstalled the turbo/downpipe in the RC, what a clusterfuck that is. I spent a stupid amount of time trying to chip off a piece of crusty old vac line that had pretty much turned to plastic.

Also installed the replacement rad in the RX7, the silly fan shroud is a bit of a pain to wiggle in there but I think I've got the hang of where it gets hung up now.

Get the BC's rebuilt and you'll be a lot further ahead than running stock shocks.

meme405 03-04-2014 02:32 PM

BR series coils have a $100 shock replacement policy...

And replacement parts are readily available for all their other Coils as well. I see no reason not to repair them...

Cleaned and polished up the exhaust :woot2:

Burped the coolant in the FC after the rad replacement, man what a messy job that is. Also bled the clutch and aired up the tires, then took it for a drive down some twisty roads and I've got to say, FC's are very fun cars. Even though this one is a fairly rough NA one (albeit with new shocks and springs) it's a blast to drive.

Recently been re-assembling my engine, today I stuck the oil pan on, along with some water lines and a big ass bracket for the alternator. Thing is, I painted the bracket the same colour as the block and need some opinions on whether I should keep it that way or paint it black. Even one or two comments would help. I'm kinda torn between the choices, lol.

I would keep it matching, unless you want to draw attention to the big alt bracket.

I'm going to respectfully disagree.

Stock > BC/Megan Racing/Made in China/Taiwan garbage. And who is going to repair them locally? Likely nobody. They have to be shipped out and what you get is the same garbage again.

LP700-4 03-08-2014 08:19 PM

Hit 50k, hopefully will drive it for another 50k or so before upgrading. Gonna be a while seeing as i only drive maybe 5-7k a year

I'm going to disagree with you since you seem to assume everything made in China is the same...
