Wheels and color are sick together. Nice work.


Thanks! I´m really happy with the result aswell :)

Today´s updates.

Finished the oil system with 12mm hardlines + braided hoses to the engine.





Really happy with the result! And more updates too come as I just began my 4 week long vacation :D

P.S not the size I´m going too use on the oilfilter, just a mockup one..;)

This is one of my favorite builds! Great work on the oil filter.

I just looked at your domain page. A lot of beautiful pics there. There are 2 things I saw I didn't care for though. I don't criticize to be mean for sure. First, I don't think that's the best place for your fire extinguisher. I want you to be able to put the fire out as quick as possible. It looks good there, but it's too far from you.

And, I think you should cover those cam gears. If you drop tools like me, it won't take long to drop something in there and ruin that motor. If you want to show them off, get a clear one like DrJones had, or a black one with a small clear window.

I hate to even mention those, as that is one fine car!

Thank you!

And as for the extinguiser, I just put it there more or less for show, and in the event of a fire in the enginebay, I would like to get as far away from the actuall fire as possible. However in the case of a fire in the trunk.. well then I´m screwed.. So might put another one right behind the drivers seat or even in front of the passager seat.

I only had the cam gears showing for about a month or two. You can see in this pic that I have a stock cover (only painted) on.

Got some really nice stuff this week...

Ordered from 935motorsports and it only took 5 days to cross the atlantic ocean. That is fast!!

I know everybody keeps saying that you have to see these brakes IRL, and.. I could not agree more!!! Pictures don´t do them justice!!

Ok, found a crack in my radiator so I´m guessing it´s a sign to upgrade...:naughty: Thinking of buying either the Mishimoto or the Godspeed radiator. Any thoughts good or bad?

Cheers /Jerry

Thats a very nice looking/running car there. Did you get screwed on the FFIM? They just took your money and ran? Sounds like a warning to anyone else thinking of using them. What was the name of the company again? _______<--dont use these people.

Jesus that motor is beautiful... What did you use to paint the exhaust manifold? And also what all did you use to polish the intake manifold?

I have to take my 7m out, but i think if i'd clean mine up that much, i might try and hang it on my wall lol

Beautiful f'in car man
