a few picks of my on goin engine rebuild

 

nice man, and gota love those snap on tools

 

sick!

 

couple of picks before i started the rebuild

 

holy crap that looks amazing. that is such a low stance, looks great!!

 

seems too low, how was the ride handling?

great engine build though, details?

 

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

 

its on GAZ coilovers and set as hard and as low as it will go
the ride is firm to say the least and holds the road amazingly
it get used on alot of track days with perfectly smooth tarmac
the paint is Ford Sierra Cosworth Grey
the engine so far is
balanced crank matched to a lightend flywheel and aloy crank puley
wiseco 9:1 pistons
carrillo rods
refaced, presure tested, new valves, ground lapped and 3 angled
ferrea titanium valve springs
obx stage 2 cams
92 supra turbo 430cc injectors
hks t25 turbo
hks fcon ecu
hks evc6 boost controller
twin feed fuel rail
sard fuel pressure reg (wen i fit it)
rx7 fuel pump

 

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

 

y wats so bad with them

 

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?

 

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?

 

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

 

damn that is slick man very nice

 

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.

 

which version of the f-con are you using?

 

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?

 

looks like an rx-7 to me.

 

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