My $5 trophie sickkk lol

Fresh out of winter storage ....trying to burn off some old gas ....

Very clean Mark. I hope mine looks like that some day.

Track mode

Motor goes in next weekend..................Finally

Heres some more progress.

^^ AAHHHHHHHH! FRAM FILTER!

RUUUUNNNNNN!!!


I kid! Looking good man!

EVO 8 rims?

I'm not going to put a good filter on there for the first oil filling/fresh start

EDIT: yup, EVO 8 Enkeis I got from Jay a few months back. Some banging, sanding, more banging and some powder, they came out pretty nice.

you need your own build thread! That's amazing work!

I have to agree with Eric on this, you definitely need a build thread. I think I am in love with that throttle body, that is impressive work! Oh and those rims are beautiful.

Hey thanks. The opinion of my peers actually matters to me on this forum. Probably one of the only places I give a F*ck what people think of me Means a lot. thanks.

Theres so many things pictured you might not even tell are painfully modified and engineered to "fit" and "function". For example, The SPC upper control arms. Balljoints discontinued and anchors were garbage when I got them. I had to make/modify my own new anchors and modify random adjustable ball joints to be able to use them. One of a thousand things Ive done to this build that you cant just "bolt on"

PS, THANK YOU REZA for the RZA"d Transmission. Im really going to enjoy it

This one? I had it completely apart for inspection, rebuild, so I figured Id give it some "love"

I love it when I see someone who has as much or more OCD as me

I was wondering how you went about the thottle body, whether or not your coated the FIAV & ICS housings.

I was considering coating mine for my 6 bolt build but I wasn't sure how the fiav housing would deal with being baked.

I ONLY powdered the TB itself, the ISC, and FIAV, I just sand blasted, and sprayed clear coat paint on them because of the sensitive components that couldnt be baked

Ya, that was my feeling, if I'm not mistaken there is wax in the ISC housing.

I think the actual plunger that controls the air flow is rubber too. I have a spare one, maybe I'll take the freeze plug off of it to see how it ticks inside

i like that front piece powdered looks great, must be nice to powder anything on the car lol

100% stealing this idea!

Oh, and has anyone told you to go F*#! yourself today? I only say it out of PURE jealousy... lol
Also, those rims look SICK!

Which idea?



My Girlfriend actually Thats cool guess we are even for me telling you to Eff off for trying to steal my door skins



Brightside winter group buy, get on board!

Some pics of mine at the shootout !











Also my new Speed density set up that i picked up at the ecmlink booth.

I'm kinda glad I couldn't make it.

I would've embarrassed the Canadian crew with my rust bucket.

lol

Need time to prep.

Man looks like a great time, way to represent guys!

BTW this is my envoy at the shootout! it has a 20g in it!

need to cut a hole in your windshield.. more air lol

Yeah Robs att to details is very good and it shows in his work.
Engine looks great, I LOL at the Fram (your idea is not lost on me I have to piss through some oil on my first fresh rebuild oil changes) You can pay a lot now and if you buy Fram you will pay alot later LOL But great to suck up the assembly lube

Only reason for this is because it's the 26001st post MUAHAHA

No hoist this weekend so no motor. On the up side, Deeps Cousin Sunny got the first batch of painted parts done for me. Thats what I worked on today.

mmmmmm, so fresh!

Hard to tell, is there an emblem in the bumper or is it just the glare? If not I have a spare one like mine sitting here collecting dust.

No emblem, just white showing thru where i peeled the glue off. It was painted over the glue. I have an aluminum emblem Im making in the works, then im gonna give it some dirty powder of course

So clean! End result won't have that gap at the bottom of the bumper between the fmic right? Is that the Jamie loo one?

That gap is there on purpose. Its going to have a shroud allowing air into the space between the rad and FMIC, then it will be cleaned up with rubber mold trim pieces along the edge of the bumber opening.

Wow, pure sex.

This thing is going to be so damn clean.

Can't wait to see it running.

Rob there is a little smudge of something on your brake rotor. Tsk tsk
By the way, the fuel trim moved the moment we hung up

Nice work Rob!

Hey Rob, where do you source all of your new hardware. That thing looks awesome better than a brand new car, I'm slightly jealous lol.

Top secret

I customized my helmet the other night

NICE!!!

Just sealed the deal on a 2012 Ralliart in Octane Blue, pick it up Tuesday. Drive it for a day then park it until the 21st of September as I will be getting married and will also be in Costa Rica for our honeymoon.

Last 2012 Octane Blue ralliart in Ontario, and apparently the last year for this colour, according to the dealer.

CONGRATS!!
