Nice! Keep it up. :thumbsup:

 

looks great

 

Thanks buddy, but the Fujita's fit just right

 

Yes definitely powercoat those covers purple!

 

For now they will just get painted.

 

Sorry to add this with such a minor update but for documentation purposes I managed to make the bracket for the catch can more pics of it later the camera died after the one shot, I will get more done this weekend got a couple of 13 hour shifts that I have to knock out

 

really amazing dedication.

I hope you get the results you want and its faster that DV8s !











Just kidding.

It will be a LOT faster than mine though

 

Thanks Stu, it has been a project that is for sure and it is working me but I signed up for it, so it is what it is and it must be completed . As for being faster than DV8 not likely, but are cars are being built with different intentions his will be a Drag Queen, and likely the fastest on the forum. Mine well, as I got further into the build I took on a one line motto that I saw in Modified Magazine and I use it as my goal and focus point for my build. And that is "to have an 11 second daily driver." that I won't really drive everyday though. I really just want a car that is as at home on an autocross track as it is on a strip. Now of course this means that you can't be the best in either when you want to have a car that is great at both. Lastly I could have chosen a different chassis to accomplish this but that contradicts my love for the Legend. Either way I pray that she will be the force to be reckoned with instead of a force that I must reckon with. I do admit though that I wanna be able to pop my hood and have people say WTF in amazement :lol:

 

Ok I said I would get a few bracket pics so here we are

As I was painting the covers I primed them a cast metal color and then painted them purple, I noticed accent effect taking place so went with it you can tell better in person its actually pretty cool though not my best work.

 

That looks like some work

Those valve covers looking tight did u use high temp paint?Powder coat or just reg?

 

Thanks high temp and the painting and the bracket were actually both really simple to do.

 

Yeah i could imagine



Ima do some stuff to my valve covers also.Im also do the intake manifold hopefully.Ima go a different route though.I will show u when im done,it may have been done before im not sure but it will look nice.

 

Ok wiring harness checks out no CEL . I hooked up the FI/C (less the vacuum hose) in my daily driver and fired it up. the car seems to idle fine as though the FI/C is not there. I admittedly didn't do the calibration with a timing gun (still in the package). I figured this is a good first step to knowing that our ECU and the FI/C are compatible even though there is no reason for it not to be sure it is nice to know. So my guess is going to be that the challenge (really just a lot of dyno and street tuning time) is going to come in during tuning at and beyond the point that the FI/C takes over.

On another side note though I am not feeling the purple valve covers.

 

Polish and high temp clear coat the covers!:thumbsup:

 

Yeah I just thought the purple would make it pop, but it dulled it down instead 91TypII is coming over tomorrow so I will get his opinion on it. but I am starting to lean back toward a gun metal gray or something a little lighter.

 

im more interested in the bar just playing nice work glad to see its coming along great for you great work

 

If you are going to repaint the valve covers, maybe paint the fuel rail covers that purple? and then paint the radiator hold down brackets ( if they are still even used) to match?

 

Fuel rail covers? Why would I hid those pretty RL fuel rails.

 

oh you and your wonderful toys. In actuality the only 3.5 ive seen personally was FF drifters and his is a complete stealth setup that looked just like a 3.2. I do luv nicely painted rail covers though, with the lettering a different color than the rest.

 

I am going to keep the purple now I decided that I like it after accenting it with some lighter (but not too light lol) purple corrugated tubing I bought a while back to cover the main run of the wire harness. Pics on that tomorrow. I also managed to get the power wires fused and connected. I wasn't looking forward to it but it is done. I am starting to get to a point where I can almost keep track of everything left to do

 

I like the Met. Purple, it has a keen look to it.

 

DAYYYYUMMMM this project is really coming along, Congrats Telion.

 

Ok here are the pics of the purple tubing but the color is a little bit off in the pic for some reason my camera has trouble with the colors blue and purple.

Excuse the mess

 

not really liking the tubing :/ everything else looks nice though lol

 

yeah honestly I think it looks better in person but I can understand that its not for everyone. To me it gave it a finished look though.

 

Corrugated tubing in purple is... eh...

Maybe if that engine bay is cleaned or resprayed and cleared it would be nicer. Clean the paint at the very least!

Regardless, colors and looks should be worried about after its making serious power.

 

Yeah I agree but I ordered it a while back and I had to create a rejuvenated desire to stare at (work on it) for hours on end, I am getting close though.

 

When you're dyno testing it and recording the video for youtube, please remove it by then!:thumbsup:
