Tasty

 

Very nice work, it's amazing to see the before/after.

 

Thanks fior the comments.

I have a nice Personnal Steering Wheel on it way and am looking at a few other upgrades for the comming weeks.

 

now this right here is what you call good quality work!

my hat off to you good sir.

 

Right back at you!!

Your vert is super clean too, nice wheels, nice paint, nice ride height and nice exhaust.

As soon as I saw photos of your vert a month or two ago I thought "that is THE exhaust I want" as it just looks perfect.

I am a bit over the single N1 angled exit exhaust.

I have been looking for one the same as yours ever since and found one on Yahoo Japan a few weeks ago but was outbid!! Doh!!

 

very nice.

 

ive been starring at this thread at least 3 times a day for the past week man. wonderful job!

 

More pics.

 

one of the cleanest I've ever seen.

 

Thanks again for the comments guys.

I love the fact that I can be creative with my car and build something that I love and also gain respect and appreciation from other car enthusiasts.

I Bought a HKS EVC-S Boost Controller and installed it today.

I won't get much use out of it yet as I still have a completely stock exhaust, front pipe and air intake system (stock air box) so there is no point boosting it yet.

But once I get the Air Intake and Exhaust all done I am sure it will come in handy.

Here are some clearer photos of the Display Unit mounted, the T-Piece into the pressure line running to the Fuel Reg and the Boost Solenoid with lines running to the wastegate and turbine.

ENGINE BAY STILL LOOKS NICE AND STOCK

 

Hi All,

I have not had much time latelty to work on or even drive my car.

But, I have had timne to scour the internet and buy some nice parts.

So I am now waiting on delivery of...

- Personal Steering Wheel and Personal Boss Kit - scored this for $86 landed!!
- Cusco Safety 21 5 Point Roll Cage (rare in sunroof version) - scored this for $280 landed!!
- HKS Top Mount FC3S Intercooler (rare) - scored this for $286 landed!!

So I was really happy to have found the Roll Cage as getting these second hand to suit a convertable is a hard ask. Most of the cages out of Japan have come from FC's with no sunroof and do not fit.

Likewise with the HKS Intercooler. These are super rare and I was very happy to score this one as it is in good condition and will allow me to stay as legal as possible whilst increasing airflow capabilities to run more boost.

Score!!

PERSONAL STEERING WHEEL:





SAFETY 21 ROLL CAGE (not in my car - photos from Japan still):

 

nice score man! can't wait for you to acquire the items and install em in your FC!

watcha gonna do with your steering wheel now that you're gonna replace it?

 

I don't know? Are they worth much?

Maybe to al the S4 lovers out there....a good S4 steering wheel might be a good catch?

 

I picked up my 350mm Personal Steering Wheel and Boss Kit today and it is in better condition than I thought it would be, so that is always a nice bonus.

So I pulled the S4 Wheel off and fitted up the Personal.

It really has made a difference to the overall look and feel of the interior.

I have tried to go for a very discreet stealth look, so you may not even notice all the changes I have made.

The interior now has the following upgrades...

- S5 Instrument Cluster
- S5 Centre Warning Cluster
- S5 Centre Console
- S5 Centre AC Vents
- Personal Steering Wheel
- Mazdatrix Short Shift Kit
- MFR (Moonface Racing) Solid Aluminum Shift ****
- Real Carbon Fiber Centre Meter Panel (replaced factory stereo)
- HKS EVC-S Boost Controller


Here is a photo...

 

nice clean unmolested engine bay. that cage looks similar to mine.

 

pretty nice build dude. I have that same wheel in my 7!

 

Car is so baller thus far. I never considered painting the black trim white, but now that I see it, I think that's a fabulous idea and is something I think I might do.

 

black interior swap?

 

Fantastic build - my friend. Definitely inspirational work here...

 

Thanks for all the comments guys.

I am really happy with how it is all coming together. I can't wait to see it in 12 months as it should be really damn good (if all goes to plan).

-----------------------------------------------------------

I actually removed my black S4 exterior trim/moulds and replaced it all with S5 trim/moulds. The only S4 trim I painted white was the rear bumper as I have not had a chance to get a S5 one yet.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I have definately thought about it!! But what a massive undertaking. I would have to replace the entire dash, trims, roof lining, everything!!

What I will probably do is replace the carpets with black items and re-do the cloth section of the door trims in black.

Then I will fit two red fixed back Sparco's, Recaro's or Bride's and swap the rear seat with Infini bins.

...Thats the plan anyway

 

I would love to have your old wheel.

 

I actually put it on Ebay and it only sold for $40AUD!!

 

Hi Guys,

I have finally found myself a decent dual cat back exhaust system.

I have been hunting for a while as I really wanted a dual system to keep the noise down and I really prefer the look of the dual systems too.

Anyway, I scored a very rare system, it is an Apexi Dual Super Megaphone.

Here are a few photos of the system still in Japan, still waiting for delivery to me.

 

Car looks fantastic. Just how I would like mine to look.

Keep up the great work, and the addition of great parts.
