At SEMA update...

Sorry for the lack of update.. I'm going to share my experience at SEMA.

Well, as you guys have read, I have put the car together in 6 out of 8 days after chasis was painted. Due to lack of time, car is a roller... which made it very difficult at SEMA.

First, we couldn't unload the car until we were placed at a certain location to unload. We waited over 2 hours between central and south hall, waiting someone for us to goto a specific location to unload.

Finally after 2 hours, we were moved to front of central to unload the car.



From here, they couldn't figure out where I was suppose to park. We now waited another 2 hours til someone figured out where I needed to park.. which was front of North Hall.. a good 1/4 mile away from where we drop the car off, through the central hall, to North hall.


Waiting to be moved.. again..


While waiting, Enjuku Racing posted this photo on their facebook page... First photo to be leaked with all the panels on..



And finally made it to my spot... and before decals got on.

We didn't have time to really finish the interior pieces.. So, when I got back from SEMA, I pulled them out and sent them to Goolsby Customs to get it refinished.. They were ready today and picked them up!


Defi Cluster gauge surround that I made.. Man! Love the finish!!


Prosport center speaker pod..


Center console that I made.. again.. Goolsby customs did a great job with the paint.


Some of the other interior parts..

I realized I haven't updated this in awhile..

Well, I been changing the look of my MB FD and here is how it looks now.


I been also trying to finish up the 20B FD and testing out the Defi DSSC.

Making the CF surround.




Also install the push start button.


Power up cluster to make sure all the is good.


And simplifying the interior harness to keep only things I need.. like power window, brakes, turn signal,...

damn that thing is sweet, was worried it was going to stay a monster truck, very relieved with the final ride height

[Herblenny]

I been working on my MB FD so I could bring it to my event, 'Deals Gap Rotary Rally'... which is becoming the biggest rotary car event in the country.

Anyhow, here are some recent pictures of the MB FD.















And the rare Mazdaspeed seats in red..

[Herblenny]

Changed out the hood to Mazdaspeed hood.. I think it looks better and makes the car less busy..



Another pic..



Few more updated photos of the MB..

After Deals Gap Rotary Rally... I went to check out Import Alliance... Few photographers took pics of my MB FD..







Today, I swapped out the Volks with R888s to more streetable wheel/tires. Tires are Toyo T1-Sport wrapped around BBS MonoForged wheels. I am a fan or older Toyo T1S and T1R and was told the new T1-Sports are quiet, grippy, and responsive. Which after driving around today for over an hour through back country roads, highway pulls, sitting on traffic , I like the T1-Sport.

not a fan of the red seats but the inserts are the tits

damn, this whole thing was like watching Arnold Schwarzenegger pump some iron and seeing the end result lol. what a monster!
