I voted for you but dam that voting system sucks you have to go through everybodys car like 30 of them.

i know! thats what i hate the most, but thank you for taking your time to vote! i appreciate it

How much boost were you running to make 500whp? Can you post the dyno sheet? Nice to see more people posting up some nice numbers with the 500R.

Jack

rofl at making 500 unplanned!
and I also voted for you, your setup is gorgeous, how much did the fiberglass mount cost to make?
also, in case you didn't notice, you're winning the RF contest :D

500 whp on a 500R is very plausible. Takes about 20+/- psi, which puts that turbo in its efficiency range. That's why I ask since there are not many dyno sheets out there from people running a 500R the way it is meant to be pushed. I want to see the dyno sheet to see the hp/torque curves.

I agree that she kind of nonchalantly mentions 500hp and moves on to talk about the stereo. Let's hear the performance details!

Jack

haha well the video is about the stereo system, but this thread is my whole build with the 500r, I'll try to post the dyno sheet today, i know for sure it was 25lbs or more when we hit the 502hp haha, it was sweet :)


Thanks everyone who voted! it is a war between me and bo, so spread the word to all your fellow rotary owners! thanks <3

heres the dyno sheet-- Dont forget to vote everyone! :)

That graph is scary as hell. LOL! My engine would have most defiantly exploded if that happened.

Have fun with the car. 35R was the best decision I've made on my FD. Hope you enjoy it.

Side note, I like your photography as well. Good stuff.

Second side note, my wife was born in Victoria and still has some family there. Small world.

The motor was built by a puerto rican so it can withstand anything! Haha.
Thanks! I'm glad you like my work :) I finally took a new shot of me and the fd for rockfords website, it's on my flickr. That's pretty crazy your wife is from Victoria, guess it is a small world :)

Trying out some new wheels on the fd,
18x10.5 +19 Do-Luck Double Sixes
Originally wanted the gunmetal color but these wheels are pretty hard to come across in the United States, so I settled with the polish.
10.5 all the way around :O no good for my front fenders lol need to stretch some tires on them & get them shortened (if i keep them)
I originally had mesh wheels, so this is a pretty big change
im still getting use to them, wanted a nice shot of the car to see what my decisions were. still unknown. lol.

feedback?

car domain has previous wheel photos

Awesome picture! The perfect FD picture for my Iphone.:drool:

The new rims look good but i can't tell by the angle of the picture but does the rim stick out pass the fenders? Also any plans on side skirts or something in the rear?

my iphone background too :D
the rear wheels need a little camber and it will be flush, i may get the front wheels cut, idk what im going to do with that yet. i dont want to cut the lip down, but +19 isnt working out for the front, may just use a smaller tire and get camber plates.

i havent came across sideskirts that I want, Ive been considering getting rid of the kit honestly, the carbon fiber fenders only line up with that bumper, oem fenders dont line up with the bumper so its kinda a pain in the ass.
maybe 99 spec bumper and get the shine lip spoiler for the rear. <still deciding.
recommendations? lol

Hey Karissa, hows everything? Like the new wheels. ;) The Gunmetal would really set it off, but the polish looks good too. Id definitely get rid of the front bumper if I were you... The 99 spec front bumper with the Shine Auto Low Pro Spoiler is definitely one of my favorite FD looks. I just bought the Shine Low Pro Spoiler and RE-A street diffuser and am waiting to paint before I install them, I cant wait.

Dave

great build!!

I got a recomendation yes,sell those do luck wheels...to me! :)

This is awesome. I always try to get my girl into cars I was going to buy her an fc or s14 but I can't seem to get her interested. Any suggestions? Congrats on the build mine should be done spring.

This is such an AWESOME shot!!......heres my car blowing leaves in action...haha...
