teknikscian 03-15-2008 02:11 PM

seems too low, how was the ride handling?

great engine build though, details?

Saml01 03-15-2008 02:12 PM

The color is awesome. I dont know what it is but I just love the color of wet asphalt.

So many nice things and then I read OBX Cams. :(

madmalc 03-15-2008 02:37 PM

y wats so bad with them

Saml01 03-15-2008 02:41 PM

I dont know whats bad with them, but the company doesnt have a reputation associated with quality. At least that is the impression I have gotten from people on this forum that have used or know people who have used OBX products.

What do those cams give you anyway? More overlap?

madmalc 03-15-2008 02:49 PM

yer theyll hold the valves open for longer it was the only cams available to me in the uk
a few people i know have used them on other makes of cars turbo and non turbo and they seem to be ok if i have any problems i will let you all know ill hope for the best lol
to be honest looking at them the quality and machining looks spot on and the fit was perfect and the turn over in the journals really smooth and free

not to sound too clubroadster, but what is that front lip?

madmalc 03-15-2008 03:17 PM

people asked me that before i made it myself i made a mould from a mgzr bumper a mx5 bumper and alot of fibreglass and then a bodyshop finished it off for me
so its a one off sorry

magnamx-5 03-15-2008 03:58 PM

damn that is slick man very nice

PaKMaN 03-15-2008 05:31 PM

I would have gone with a slightly bigger turbo but it looks good! Wish I had the time/money/skills to start building a motor.

zoom2zoom 03-15-2008 05:37 PM

which version of the f-con are you using?

LOOINEY 03-15-2008 05:46 PM

love the stance... and have to say that thing has more silacone than a stripper!. And is that a alltrac in the background with rally lights?

johndoe 03-15-2008 05:51 PM

looks like an rx-7 to me.

Sentic 03-15-2008 05:58 PM

It's so nice and clean at the exhaust side when RHD. Looks great!
