This car is bonkers. I love that steering wheel and the livery.

put everything back together and the 3k rpm misfires are still rampant and un-drivable.. we felt a large exhaust leak pre o2 from the passenger side crossover pipe, near the waste gate.
Its a huge pita to remove, header bolts need to come off etc.. this sucks.

nothing you haven't overcome before

we decided to just replace the entire engine harness.
It wont be fully milspec or racespec, but will be done up in raychem25, but without the yellow labels to cut costs and to keep the engine bay more monochromatic.



Also found the exhaust leak culprit, and hopefully this is what's causing the rich condition and the ruined o2s.

although this is cool n all, I think id rather switch up to a full 06+ waterfall, center console etc at some point.

Dont say that, he will scrap it and do something else and then more delays!

Nah changed my mind back. There's something more simple and elegant about the 05 waterfall.. When it's smoothed out w no holes or gauges in cf.. And the center console gets the coin cup shaved and covered in texalium silver carbon... It will be better with what I have already I think. Plus I like saving the money I have left lol

I'm sorry its taking a while.. but you're certainly all welcome to send me money to pay for it all.

I never really liked the old waterfall, it's always looked cheap to me lol

eZg

what brand of texalium do you use? I have wondered that for a while but figured you were using silver Di Noc. Whatever it is it looks very good!

Thanks

nothing I have is dinoc, its all real stuff, but for any future fabbing, I wouldn't be doing it myself, I leave that to professionals.

next week is the big week, everything is back from re welding, and the new correct harness will be here today.. I hope to have this all back together and running correctly again by next weekend.

I got di-noc, it's nice and not permanent which I like lol

my buddy is on his way over to pick up the newly arrived engine harness and to beep it out, hand inspect and make sure its viable.. and then hes getting to work on wrapping and heat sleeve it up for me..
were looking for some replacement v bands now that these ones are all getting fairly old and janky and orange and heat cycled and beat up lol.

hers a few ideas ive had about the front end detail..

first things first of course, but id like to obviously make some upgrades to the front canard etc.. simple things that I can do myself vs large projects.


modified nismo type 2 bumper idea..



Super trofeo look bumper






Emailed the vinyl guys to find out where the heck my order is.. as this little pre render I did over the weekend is dope.. i'd like to actually LAY THE STRIPES and take real pictures lol.

Agreed, the hood adds to it! Do you have an HR hood or planning to run one ?

bmccann101

I'm using the hood I had just purchased, installed on the car already.
