Dude, your car is rad. Loving the Voltex wing, it definitely makes me jealous. It's been that long since Edgar's car was around? Dang, I feel old now haha. I'm looking forward to the final incarnation(s) of this. Keep it up!

keifer · 06-05-2013, 01:57 PM

Loved everything up until the first wing. Then it all just went to hell. GL with your build!

drftx · 07-13-2013, 02:12 PM

Nothing really new about to pick up the motor from Pavel, also bought a S14 timing chain cover/oil pump new from zilvia since the one I bought from someone was pretty much trash.

Thanks to oots for the hook up

Grabbed Isis intake mani and radiator hoses

Bought the rest of the miscellaneous things for the motor. New plugs, oem thermostat, break in oil, and what not.

drftx · 07-14-2013, 06:36 PM

Dropped everything off

car should be good to go soon pretty excited

Picked up the motor pretty happy about it Pavel does AMAZING work

Took off the VC I felt like painting it

Home depot gold flake paint with clear effex

Loaded up dropping it all off to my buddy Kevin's to finish everything up

At this point all I need is a 90 degree coupler, PCV valve, 25mm spacers, and my new oil pressure gauge because the one I had was a mechanical so I ordered a Stack oil pressure gauge eventually gonna swap all my gauges to stack.

Updates coming soon I still have to pick up my turbo from Pavel he didn't have time to finish it

WristWork · 07-14-2013, 08:45 PM

This would be soo sick!

drftx · 07-31-2013, 07:17 PM

Who's ready for a update??

Turbo getting re-built at Pavel's racing engines

We ran in to a issue that a stock T28 waste gate actuator would not work or a T25. The turbo had a weird one that came with it but the owner needed it back. So being Pavel the crazy Russian wizard made a custom HKS waste gate actuator he had laying around.

Sand blasted the housing and with my new Garrett GT2871R CHRA

Assembly process

Here is the waste gate actuator situation

Cut up a bracket from a T25 heat shield

Cut up and measured

Rod was way to long so it was cut up and shortened

Test fit

And BAM

Pretty happy with it

Got some 25mm spacers

Dropped everything off and here is the motor hanging out

Kevin's house of race cars lol

All the stuff for the motor is set

drftx · 07-31-2013, 07:25 PM

Lookie here

Picked these bad boys up

All ready for the new SR

Almost!

BOOM!

Got the Mishimoto radiator in

That's it for now more updates this weekend

drftx · 08-13-2013, 04:45 PM

Whats up guys heres a update I HATE THIS CAR -.-

Worked on it last Friday for 5 hours, had spark, fuel and timing was right. Would not start it would crank but not start. So we checked the coil packs they are good, checked the plugs if they were gaped right it was good. Checked the wiring everything was good, checked if there was power going to the injectors checked if there was power going to the coil packs it was good. Messed with the CAS a bit and it would stumble thought it was mechanical timing checked that and it was on point. So we thought it would be the CAS. Borrowed a friends working CAS and set everything up still the same thing BUT now there was no spark. Tested the ignitor chip we had no reading of resistance with a multi meter and there was none plugged one side of the ignitor on and checked if there was power going through nothing. Would it be the Ignitor chip.... Borrowing one from a friend Thursday hope that's it.

drftx · 08-29-2013, 03:51 PM

KravingAKouki · 02-01-2014, 09:18 PM

I<3BEWBZ · 02-02-2014, 03:51 PM

Chrome RGII's.

I like the way RGII's look on the FRS/BRZ/GT86

StatticMyke · 02-03-2014, 10:09 AM

blitz 03's would be different. I haven't seen an frs with them on. probably have to run adapters.

Hatemy7 · 02-03-2014, 01:35 PM

Im not a fan of the body kit. Just not my style at all. Your wheels looked all tucked in. Either you need more wideness of wheels or just take that body kit of from it.

wait didnt you part this car out??

h2v7 · 02-03-2014, 03:41 PM

love it those wheels are nice

juvi22003 · 02-04-2014, 09:37 AM
