Akina's build

Oooooh shiny pretty stuff.  This is pimptastic.

Yeaaaaaa Nice clutch too.  What's wrong with the old exhaust?

[AKINA FC]

Haha Thanks guys. Nothing wrong with the exhaust really, sounds good and fits nice, just a pain in the ass to take apart over and over. Plus I wanted to put 3" in her

Small update. Got the rest of the important bits installed on the new engine and got it back into the car. Prothane engine mounts, clutch installed and improved racing baffle. Cut out the front rad support and began measuring for the the new radiator set up. I don't want to get to far ahead of myself though until the blower shows up, then I can figure out exactly where everything is going to go. This time around I am making things fit around the blower.
On a side note I changed what blower I am going to use and pulled the trigger on buying it since my other head unit sold. I decided to go with a F1A. Multiple reasons for the change and I think it will be better suited for the application. Should have it in a week, procharger says a one week build time, so I am eagerly awaiting its arrival.

Any pics of how you build the splitter?

Im loving this build.

[AKINA FC]

Sorry, no real pics of the splitter build, I'll take some pics of the front end when building the new radiator setup.

Got the rest of the main stuff done and hooked back up, engine is basically ready to rock. Ran into a small hitch with the new valve covers, had to notch the rear section of the drivers side cover to clear the brake booster, no big deal but having a hard time welding it since its clear powder coated. Cut out the rest of the rad support and started re-doing the wiring in the front. Got things measured up front and a good idea of what i want to do with the new radiator and charge pipes for the blower. Eagerly awaiting the blower so I can really get to moving on things!

I really have a lot of "unclean" feelings for your car...

That front end just looks mean as hell.

I think Akina made it himself.

I know what you mean.... But I don't think I could ever look at my car the same after I cheated on it

Wannabefast is correct, it's twill weave wet laid over dibond - cheap, strong, lite weight and easily replaced when damaged. Stong enough to support me bouncing on it attached to the car, strong enough to bounce off the ground at the track and not get damaged   I'll remember to take some pics when I make another this year. It takes about a afternoon to make, a day to dry and as much time as you want polishing it.
