FL5 looks sick...Congrats! Noticed the NSX mention as a potential next build. Two FD RX-7's were still representing (rotary fanatic here) as well as an old school Datsun. Interested to learn what you decide if you happen to go with an old school build.
I have not made any additional modifications since then. Just slowly removing parts to return the car to stock, selling other parts along the way, and buying new parts. ETA on the remaining new parts is still ~2 months out. Once received, I’ll trade in for a new CTR and install everything at...
Front calipers are different than traditional ones used in that you do not have to remove the caliper to swap out the pads. Also, no need to mess with the hard line going to the caliper when replacing the rotor itself. After removing the wheel and on each side:
Use a brake pin punch to remove...
Brand new and never used. The oil cooler itself has a small area of paint chipped off on the lower left corner of the front bracket. There are also two areas on the rear of the cooler that have minor bends in the fins. Paint chipped off and bends can easily be fixed but I’d rather show and...
Brand new and never used. Part number is MOC-SP1FT (M20 x 1.5) and has a built in 180 degree F thermostat. Also included are two MOC-DS 1/2” Bonded sealing washers, two MOC-BM810A Mocal 1/2” x 10 ORB fittings, and two 10 AN 45 degree Aeromotive couplers. Selling for $100 (local pickup) or...
Update...When I originally installed the J's Racing intercooler, the lower intake temps resulted in a noticeable performance increase and MPG improvement as well. Three weeks ago, I reinstalled the OEM intercooler and yes, it really does suck.
I have consistently used 93 octane gas and daily...

I received quotes to hard lag several brand new exhaust components (i.e., MHI Stage II turbine housing, SBX downpipe, and 3" front pipe (RV6 used as a reference point)). Prices for hard lagging are an absolute no go for me.
HeaerShield quoted:
Turbine- $300
Downpipe - $422
Front Pipe - $470...
Just don't let a lithium battery lose a charge by sitting unused. Once depleted, the battery needs to be replaced. Example...My son left his One Wheel Board in the basement for a year and a half and forgot to keep the battery charged. At that point, the battery would no longer take a charge...
It would be worth opening up that area if you are using an aftermarket intercooler and have the ability to make the modification look clean instead of a hack job. Square up the plastic trim along the bottom to align with the front surface area of the intercooler core itself and seal any...
Awesome...Different design where both are manufactured to high quality standards. Both eliminate the use of brazed joints at the ferrule connection and the functional ratings are almost identical. 4 Piston uses a Teflon lined hose whereas Jester's uses a PTFE lined hose however, both materials...
