[OsckR]

Voted! You deserve it

[Herblenny]

Its been awhile since I last updated this thread..

To start, I took some photo of the car 3 months ago..







Still loving the Defi/iPad combo!!

I'm also upgrading my turbo set up with new Borg Warner EFR Turbo set up using Turblown's cast stainless manifold.


Quality of this manifold is just top notch!!


I've mocked it up on my spare engine to see how it all lines up.



I'm going to update this thread more often since new projects are at works this year. Including my 3 Rotor Project..

Looking great as always. Are those tail lights a new addition? They are fantastic. Clean and sophisticated.

Thank you!!
Lights are new and I think they make the 23+ year old car look little bit more modern.

Few pics of the install.




Radium surge tank!

Well, several things have happened since..

Once the car was done, I took it to Import Alliance ATL, under Exedy Clutch booth.
Made it on to their event video. Thank you IA!!

I love EVERYTHING in this thread. Wow....

Your FD has gone through so many changes, but my favorite is when you can see that beautiful Montego Blue shining through. A friend of mine has had two FD's, both MB. I love that color!

Few more updates..

Earlier this year, my latest build was featured and made cover of PasMag magazine.

I ended up doing the photos and was honored that they pick my photo for the cover.
Here are few photos from the feature.



Front bumper Knightsport Type 7


Turbo - Borg Warner 8374 EFR with Turbosmart wastegate actuator and BOV.


Lights R Magic HID lights with Custom Carbon Fiber buckets by my friends at EVOR


Hood - Not really sure who made it in Japan. Its very similar to Mazdaspeed hood. Grills were custom cut and made by my friend Micheal Osburn.


Wheels - Rays Engineering Gram Lights FXX


Tail Lights are by EVO-R


This photo was picked for Toyo Tires Shutter Space event in California. I was one of 15 photos picked.

Pure sex on wheels man. Awesome shots! I definitely see why they used that one for the cover.

I think I really do need to start saving my pennies for a 7....
