You mean all this stuff?
I'm pretty sure it's mentioned in the thread. The oil and water lines, and egt, abs and wideband line (anything close to the turbine) are covered in DEI Fire Sleeve. I also used less extreme thermo-tec and DEI sleeving on the heater hoses and engine wiring harness. You can source it all from Summit Racing.
Thanks, more importantly it's all functioning well too
They're 18x9.5 +45, and I actually have them for sale right now.

In the "I really wish I got that on video" category, running only 14 psi I walked a 450 rwhp R32 Skyline this weekend from a 40 punch up to about 130 or so. Pretty fast car, but I pulled him steadily in all gears.
Thanks G, I appreciate your sage insight 
. You're 100% correct...... but I definitely plan to turn up the boost. 20 psi on 93+water inj has been the goal for some time now. I actually ran 20 psi on a poorly tuned map but didn't extract the potential of my setup.
Once Kahren comes back we're going to make some more runs at 1 bar which should yield better results than last time. Then onwards to 20
Well D, you've seen some of the pics now, what do you think? Billy isn't quite on par with Stitch, but I'm hoping they'll get to be friend soon 
yeah, the heat shielding isn't exactly cheap, it's crazy how much they charge for that stuff 
That is the DDMac special edition Limpy Dolphin Jasma II, to be exact
Its cars like Rich's that don't blow up. Everything is done so well and it has all the protection against detonation that you need to have a stable, high horsepower car without worrying. Its beautifully done.
Others may make more power, but Rich could just turn up the boost. He chose a very low boost level to ensure that the car is reliable. Yet it makes great power, especially when you look at the power under the curve instead of the peak power.

+1 very well put Gordon! Many props to Rich and all the others who take the time and have the fore-thought to create such a good build.
Rich, what goodies will we be seeing next on your baby? You showed us teaser pics a while ago...so what is next?
No excuses; we know you have been getting her out on the road and enjoying her...But don't keep us waiting too long....

i suppose the reason you got no attention at that meet, is because its not polite to fap in public, thats what the internet at home is for...........
gorgeous car, unbelieveable, complete eye candy
i like how pretty much every single detail has been thought through, all the way down to the bracket for the gm sensor, thats just badass.

Oh and p.s. hun....Billy is the bomb! I wanted him to pick the bigger one in the store we were shopping in, but I have a better idea for one anyways! And Stitch and Scrump maybe jealous...much more rare...
p.p.s...ewww that's dirty!...sweet melody...

i guess i missed this thread because i simply don't frequent the Gen III sections all that often, but i must say i read every page and it was nothing short of bloody amazing!
i can't wait to see what the final tuning results are. in that vein, have you done another compression test recently? the last one i remember seeing was around 1000 miles in the 120s.
i'm curious what led you to think this. too long?

?Some more updates, sorry for the lack of pics.
my Nardi 350mm Deep Corn FINALLY came in, to be installed shortly.
Uras 99 spec combo lights, Mazda Flying M emblems, FEED sideskirts and FEED Type 2 wing also sitting awaiting install. I'm wondering if I should paint the ends of the wing Vintage Red or flat black as seen here:
I just ordered a boatload of Defi BF gauges, I plan to replace my link series II (which light up green at night) with the BF, which light up amber. This includes oil temp and oil pressure, and they'll match nicely a 2002 cluster that I recently ordered from Rotary Boutique/Pure RX7. I also scored an authentic Border gauge pod (mickey mouse style) to mount the extra gauges.
Pic of the Border mount:
I also signed on for the Sake Bomb Garage Projector HID headlight GB as well, I recommend everyone take a peek in the thread
