Get together at the track?

 

Any of you guys have any experience with Fortune Auto 500 Series Coilovers? They look promising from what I've gathered so far...

 

GMG!

I've never used them, but I hear good things!


They are thanks to social media, and that fact alone creates repetition. People no longer wish to create something new, and prefer to just copy.

Amen!! I'd love to see Mike again. Ashamed we fell out of touch.

I can dig it LOL

 

Richard sent me a teaser pic of the one piece EK fender with cutout and vent, it ALMOST makes me wanna put an EK font end back on...ALMOST.

 

Got send a teaser pic as well. Looked good, glad I didn't go with J's.

 

Me too...not that I really had an option, but Tracklife has done some cool things.

 

GMG!
Pleased tease us w/ those fenders I was looking at them the other day. Wasn't sure if I wish to journey on the win side just yet.


Recent progress. I has clutch pedal. :dancing: Handled some wiring in my free time. Extended the clutch safety switch, and depinned the old A/T connector and removed the wires for reverse light switch. Using ABS connectors I was able to make that plug and play. Next I'll focus on wiring up cruise control and relocating the switches.

Just recently got a sedan. Installed some coilovers and other misc parts. lovin it.

 

Any more pics of the cage please!

 

Hi, been lurking here for a while. I own a 97 black sedan. Been building it for auto-x/track.

Will be posting pics tomorrow when it's daylight out!.

 

Sorry not authorize to release those pictures.


Nice, still much to get it up and running?
It's an autopower roll bar and sorry don't really have a clear pictures of it.

 

Half cage? Your car looks great man! Been a fan of it.

 

<br >

My sedan sorry not the best picture.

 

Thanks and yeah it's only half.

You can see the bars a little better here.


A picture when I first test fitted it.

 

Not a bad start.

 

Thanks. Most of my upgrades are in my suspension.

 

Looks really good!. Looking to do a half cage as well on mine in the next 3 months. Need to get abother car to haul my son around when I need to.

 

Hey boys, I got a new hat today!

I miss HT

 

That's pretty sweet! I like that shade of gray. Was it awarded to you or purchased?


Welcome Tec!


Hmmmm product maker doesn't want his products released? OK! They are only on IG - area 51 much? JK, I understand.

Not much really. It runs, but I'm a bit on the picky side so it's no good until I'm 100% happy. I'm at 90% ATM, LOL.

Welcome Black, you chose a proper color.


Hi Larry! ( ashy larry )


The days just aren't as long as they use to be. Somehow I was able to squeeze some extra minutes in one day last week. I got the P/S lines situated and leak tested. Sorting all that allowed me to finally mount the radiator and fire the engine up. The integra must have been bugging out, the motor started flawlessly and ran continuosily w/out an issue. I'm proud to say the engine sounds way more lethal after it's light overhaul.







This is first start up. IAT code, and TC code. The video was from SAT. the codes were sorted out today. Ended up being a JDM B16 based basemap. The video from today was a million times better; Idled properly and revved rapidly. I'm excited to finalize some other bits and get it tuned.

You can't buy that hat

I'm James' trackside calibration engineer. Super proud of the team and James, and I'm totally beside myself that we're on the pole for the 500.

 

So...This happened this weekend. I still need to body work some parts, get some lip gasket, and make the front bumper filler, oh...and get an alignment to pull the camber back out. Yes, car needs paint, flares need paint, and all that will come with time, but...for now i can actually drive it, and only rub in a couple of places...and i know where those are.

 

Congrats to you and your crew!


hmmmm I need to see the whole picture hehe.


Firing up fine and continually running unlike my DC2, I decided to move forward and handle the wiring tasks. Before the engine break-in test drive I need to fixate the imported front end. I hit the junkyard for some connectors w/ pig tails to make it all plug and play. I also have them wired as the would be overseas, markers, and signal only blink when used. I took the liberty of doing this all myself, getting more familiar with wiring myself has been nagging me. I do not want to fail, or start over anymore due to my frustrations in/with wiring. I guess it's all baby steps.






I even tried to make it look professional-ish





Had to source this missing link. I'm keeping cruise control, and the clutch safety switch. The car will operate like a factory released manual car.




all done, the view from the console. The previous owner of this car was careless, I will have some cleaning ahed of me when I install the dash. Looking at the carpet, I decided to order up some new aftermarket carpet from ACC.



right side jdm socket was damaged, I never noticed. Glad I had this laying around - came in handy.

 

Nice updates guise.
