Flat Tire EF/ED7 build

[FlatTireRacer]

Here we go! Got me some fender washers!


Before


After


Notice the large void I have on the passenger fender... Still need an MPFI air box.  =(



Also showed up Monday...




Fitting and trimming of the lip will commence this weekend. It's a Mugen replica from a 4 door EG. More 'F'ugen!!

Got around to installing the 'F'ugen EG lip. After some trimming right around the bottom of the vent, top of the lip, it slipped right on! Didn't have to cut the sides down or anything else!! Guess at this point I need to start getting her ready for some paint.







Ka-chow!! (lol)


Bare with me, guys, and I'll be checking in from time to time to see how everyone else's stuff is coming along. Keep on motoring!

Went down the street and popped some pics the other night. If you look carefully you can see the rear window visor.







Found out that the Suspension Probation on my D/L will be lifted on the 7th! I just might be able to drive my own damn car pretty soon!! O.O

HELLZYEAH!!!! Boss-man is gonna help me get the hooptie registered! Erhmehgerd!!! So fekkin' excited right now!!!

Got up this morning to go to work...


My golden rule about bad weather is, if I can make out of the drive, I'm going to work...


I did make out of the drive, and onto the street...


I made it just down the street outside the park where I live and just the other side of the bridge. Then, because the car sits so low, she loaded sleet up under the body and all forward momentum ceased. :crook: It took my wife and I 2 hours to drag the silly thing back to the house. Looks like I won't be going to work. Sleet is different than snow. It's like rain drops that freeze and turn into tiny marbles. When you drive a car over it, it compacts and turns into giant sheets of ice. S*!t sucks.

Guess who just ordered the stickers for his wheels to really pump up the appearance of the 'F'ugen's? This guy!!  ;) Oh how the JDM junky haters are gonna love me! LMAO!

Plus I got my 'I <3 my EF' sedan sticker in the mail the other day. Just need to find someone to produce one with the silhouette facing the other direction so I can put one on the other side of the car!

My boy jb0ne called me up and asked me to go for a cruise. Snatched up my co-pilot and hit the road!













Had a good time just running around showing jb0ne some of the performance shops around the area.

Somebody's gonna have a busy afternoon!

[EFinLow2]

front lip looks good, ive been looking at the same one on ebay

[FlatTireRacer]

Thanks man! It fit like aglove too, after I trimmed it a little bit!



Trimmed the sticker backing to get closer to the final shape...



Sex sexington!!



Now all I need to do is make the center caps!

[FlatTireRacer]

Been gettin work done, a little bit at a time!

Pics!


Here's kinda what it was before. Photographing glass sucks! Lol!


Out...


Picked up my rebuilt A/C compressor Friday! Hopefully have A/C soon!


And Saturday my wife got new wheels for her CRV! She was/is super stoked about them!

:bang:

Been stupid busy with work, meets, and I've been trying to start a car club here in the Fort Worth area.
So here's one I popped the other day. She just looked good and I had to get it...


One from the car wash before CupCake meet..


Club Banner


And I put some work in and refinished the front bumper. It's not show quality but it's a much needed improvement.














Here's a day shot. And I've cleaned up the overspray seep since these pics.


Painted the top of the lip because I didn't like the way it blended into the rest of the venting. I like the way it comes out now.

[Gizmo]

looks good man. nice to see you still at it.

[FlatTireRacer]

Heck yeah!

Been sittin on parts since January for this one job. All new Front bearings, axles, lower ball joints (did the uppers with arms about 2 months ago), and tie rod ends! Plus I got new tires all the way around!

That's crying out for a spoiler!

Tidy sedan man.

[johnsonca9]

......and I like it!!!!

Funny thing about that is I've been kicking it around recently of two-tonig it with silver below the trim. Just haven't had the balls to commit. Lol!

That's crying out for a spoiler!

Tidy sedan man.

If anything, it will get a small lip across the rear of the trunk but no stand off spoilers for this car.

So, here's the pics from the cam replacement the other day.
Tearing it down. I love how Castrol leaves a engine!


Here's the cam lobe. There were actually more than one going bad.


Pads on the rocker arms were pretty chewed up too.


Luckily I had another set lying around.


Getting her all buttoned up.


My Lil' Man decided he needed to come out and check my final torque on all the bolts.


The next weekend I did the brakes.


I think I could've gotten another 20,000 miles out of those!


Mmmm... shiny...


Got the car washed last week and donated to a local soft ball team!


Mmmm.. O.E. Freshness!!




Also snapped a real quick pick at the club meet that was again another flop. One of these days I'll have someone show up...


And here is the beginnings to the center caps I'm going to make for the Fugens.

[FlatTireRacer]

Got some work done the other day. Finally finished porting one of the heads I've had lying around collecting dust, and I cut the seats on that one and two more.









So now I have a Ported and Polished head with our full radiused valve job and one head with just the valve job up for dibs. I'm not going to put these in the For Sale thread because I'm not in any hurry do get rid of them. PM me for pricing or negotiations if you are interested.
