97Rwagon Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 The grille is nicely done. Do you have pics of the side. Im curious to see what you got on there for wheels. They look somewhat deep-dish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickster151 Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Looks great Ben! I really liked seeing the Hova tails in person at Davis, I like them alot more now and they go great on your car.Man, you were freakin hauling ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD at Thunderhill too. I was'nt near you when you were in Group A, but in Group B I rode in my friends Porsche 944 [a track-built car] and he was having a real hard time keeping up with you. You had some mighty big flames coming from the exhaust I might add! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Über855R Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 The Neons can always turn off. I think it is a nice touch, really makes the heads turn sitting in a parking lot with your car doing a multicolored light show that strobs with the music. Of course if you ever don't want to be a car dork you just turn them off and its an invisible mod. by the way I "tested" the install on the tubes at thunderhill, they aren't coming off for anything, neither is my carbon fiber lip!!! Yeah those flames are awesome, I think maybe straight through exhaust might have something to do with that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvoson Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 by the way I "tested" the install on the tubes at thunderhill, they aren't coming off for anything, neither is my carbon fiber lip!!!You're a brave guy man! I didn't even track my car because I was scared something would go terribly wrong With my track record (no pun intended), better safe then sorry.Do you have any future plans for your car, or is it where you want it to be?

Overboost850 Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 I got the FMIC from spooled motorsports, intake piping all custom powder coated with red samco connectors. Quickly my power mods are UR pulley Green injectors magnecore wires 19t turbo s60r manifold fmic custom intake and exhaust plumbing trans cooler and filter full synthetic fluids and a little NOS just in case I need it. Coming soon Civinco+more hp Three questions: What size piping are you running for your intercooler? Any issues mounting the 7" tall cooler? I know you say you are looking to go with Civinico in the future but who does your tuning now? And on another note your car is rediculously hott! Well done!

Über855R Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Here is how the intercooler went...First cut out some of the support in the front to make room, nor sure if this was necessary I think in hind sight we could have done it with out cutting.Next fitted a heavy piece of steel across the opening to make a bracket and stiffen up anything lost by the removal of the cross member.Welded the stell between the main two supports for the bumper.Made small brackets on the side to hang the intercooler and for any future mounting aspirations. Possibly some led lights to shine directly onto the intercooler, or towards a purge valve for the NOS.Hung the intercooler hooked up the piping, made sure all the connectors would be accesable with the bumper on and ba da bing FMIC.The piping is actually a modified RIP kit from eurosport tuning. I just had my buddy weld on some new piping to extend the parts of the kit that didn't fit my setup. I believe it is 2.5 inch on the top pipes and after it comes out of the intercooler it necks down to a 2 inch to keep up air velocity. Same design deal as the rip kit only lots more plumbing.
