Michael's 99' EJ9


been waiting for the wheel update since you told me last night man lol lookin nice though, your cars lookin really well! :nice:
 
motor is looking good bud, go for a B20 build, maybe even supercharge, am gonna b doing 1 soon.
 
Another update.

In prep for ''Total Jap Car'' on the 17th i decided to strip the rear seats out of the car,allways wanted to do it as i never use my rear seats,so would rather save the weight and look cool lol

Firstly i got the seats and carpet out,gave the carpet a good shampoo and is now drying on my line just now. That shan tartan thing isnt my carpet btw lol

As you could imagine under the carpet was absolutely filthy whiich was one of the reasons i had been putting this job off,found 30p though so its all good.

My orginal plan was to put the carpet back in as i think it looks much neater,but i like the raw look of the metal etc,still undecided!

:nice:
 
Cool build so far man. RNRs are so much better than the Jordons and definitely lets you pull of the tilt better IMO. Mad crazy power on the dyno though for just an exhaust setup...26bhp up on the factory spec :p Surely an easy dyno was it? How do you find the quality of the Toyosports mani? Pretty cheap like so could be a worthwhile buy if it's a nice piece.

Keep up the work man :)

Thanks,appreciate it. Some guy said it may have higher compression due to carbon buildup :nerv:

Honestly though i dont even stand by the figures too much,ofcourse people are going to be doubtfull,all i know is standard cars were making standard (or just under) power on that same dyno,it does seem to be accurate. As said,not too fussed though...

Nice looking motor mate love the rnr's look ace good job on the clean also :)
 
Got round to tidying up one of the very few things that annoys me about the car.

Not amazing,but alot better than what was there before! Im not a fan of leaving big open cut's in the plastics be it neat or a disaster so was looking at ways to cover up the holes.

Also started with removing the sound deadening the other day as you can see behind the passenger seat,its coming up easily enough.
