Thought id begin my build thread, after all... ive had it for 6 months or so.

Not done a whole great deal to it yet, just getting through all the little bits and bobs before i modify etc.

My plans? well.. theyve changed so much over the past year and a half that its hard to say what il be doing in 6 months! (car wise. i have urges to go sideways..) ATM i plan on making it a nice example with some rare/choice modifications. Power wise, maybe go for the est 200bhp per ton mark? who knows. But what i do know is i want it low,black and sneaky ;)

So, what is it? Its a Black 93 mk 2 ep82.

As it stands:

Rx7 TMIC

SPS stainless manifold

WEPR Full stainless system.Turbo-back

Greddy oil catch can

Greddy type-s blow off valve

D2 coilovers

Samco coolant hoses

Blitz SUS filter

Auto-gauge boost gauge

Auto-gauge oil temp(not wired up)

I think thats about it.

Mod plans;

Replace the Auto-gauge..gauges with Defi BF's

Fit Bride Brix

Takata harness

Find a self learning ECU

Boost controller

RRFPR

Fit rear brace

Possible WMS brake kit

Race tech screamer pipe+de-cat back of some sort

And so on..(il probs change my mind next week)

So heres some pics;

No no, i have another set of wheels

16233_326307250054_663405054_952428.jpg

But... ive a couple concerns with these wheels:

1. Can i get wide enough/good enough tyres on them to provide sufficient traction.

2. Could i get big enough brakes under them to make it worth doing.

If the answer to either of those is no... then im going to have to get more wheels. (not keen on the enkei's)

Keri: Thankyou, il try it out.

Liam:Yes mate. It will be on the road in May sometime, il be taking it to Mike to have it RR'd and just see how its running. And possibly takign it to your place to have the coilovers setup properly/aligned. But that depends on how far you are from me-there out of align pretty bad. So if its running sweet and it doesnt go pop, i will be bringing it to ze meet :mellow:

Not much has happened recently. Snapped up a screamer pipe from Keith at zisco-just need the rest of the system.If any one has a cat-back for sale.. let me know. Any one passed an MOT with screamer?

I had success with the compression test(after doing it wrong and shitting myself), reading 170psi across all four.

More to come.

So, ive been collecting parts etc.

My cars 16/17 years old.. there bound to be tired!

Umm. Over the next couple weeks i hope to have, actuator fitted,fuel pump,ecu,exhaust + screamer.

Ive yet to buy/recieve a rail for my seat and im yet to buy a proper boost guage to replace the silly auto gauge.

Ze insurance ends on the N/A mid May... so itl be insured then.. and rolling then :p

Ive decided to keep the D2's for now too.

Also it needs the body work sorting out.. i try not to look at it because it hurts :p .

Had a thought also, im taking the car to MM to have it checked out on the RR.. so could possibly organise a mini meet if any ones interested.
