I'm just wondering if that's gonna get enough circulation of air in that spot, to actually be effective.

 

I am, but I'm not going to be doing anything serious enough/long enough on the street to really need it, so having the tag over it isn't going to really be an issue. mainly going to have it for summer track days.

I'm going to cut and box the bumper support it's self, and then do louvers on the back side of it to allow air flow, and build a duct to the louvers, that, along with an electric fan should be sufficient.

 

itll never get hot if the engine doesnt run

 

Oooooo ouch! Harsh

 

You remember what happened Russ... if it wasn't for that, it would have been running months ago now

It should have been running months ago, but i got screwed out of a lot of money. So i'm trying to recover from that hit, and i'm saving up for rods and pistons right now. Hopefully I'll have the motor assembled around the first of the year.

 

Ahhh that blows well, hopefully u can hustle up enough to have some fun. My car hasn't run in 3-1/2 years so.... I'm a loser haha I guess that **** happen tho when you buy a house in Cali and a new truck

 

I feel ya.. mine has been down nearly two years now. and i dont have a nice house, or truck :/

 

Yea life always Makes u remember that it's still a hobby lol

 

thats the truth...











But there are always worse hobbies

 

Lol gave those type up in my early 20's haha

 

hahaha. screw it. i think i'm going to throw my spare 5.3 in the car with my heads, cam, intake, and see how long it lasts.... i'll just throw some new rod bearings, and rod bolts in it, and go for it.

 

Sounds go to me those truck motors can take some decent amount of abuse anyways

 

yeah. the only bad thing is its iron block. yuck. but i'd rather at least drive my car around town than watch it sit with no motor in it. i literally bought that motor for like 6 bolts on it anyways. idc about the motor its self one bit. throw it together, and however long it lasts, it lasts.

 

Tossed these on today just to get an idea... yes or no?

 

A few more pictures with 10 instead.

 

I was thinkin about doin that a long time ago when shine came out wit the stood wing for the FC lol I think it looks fine. It will probably look better when you get some real color on that bitch

 

yeah. I'd like to paint it later down the road, but for now, battle ship gray will do.

 

no. maybe, just maybe put them on the roof before the wing. even then idk.

 

looked at the pictures again.

no.

 

yeah, I'm kinda leaning towards no as well. Maybe later down the road after I do a few more things to make the car more aggressive, but right now it looks out of place.

 

Do these make the engine run?

 

yea and its like 10+ HP!!!!


Jk... Nice build man! wish i had an fd

 

If you like them....run them. Prob won't steal any attention if the car is black. Wish I could nab a roof spoiler.

 

Nope, BUT the rod and main bearings I ordered today do.

Psh. I need as much downforce as I can get haha. nah, its mainly just for looks, even though they may be "functional"... But thanks, It's coming along.... slowly

Yeah, I think I might run them once I build my splitters, canards, and diffuser... The roof wing isn't anything special. Just a FRP OEM replica from shine that I shaved the teardrop/hump thing off of myself. I think the FRP ones are $100 plus shipping.

 

good
