exesivefire Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Popped the intake back off, couple things were bothering me, need to respray and make those fuel rails again. Two steps forward, one step back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exesivefire Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thank you. Not reallyy cup of tea either. But I'm making it something I would like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Springs made, need to find my smaller aluminum tube so I can make shocks and struts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exesivefire Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 got the intake repainted, also redid the fuel rails and lines. Need to make a regulator and a return line yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 I also got rear shocks made, used aluminum tube, a paperclip and some hex styrene. Now it sits up by itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsnake98 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 That motor looks even better now, good call on the repaint. The suspension looks good too, nice stance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsxse240 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 didn't realize I had one of the 99 cobra kits in my closet! I think I'm going to take your idea, but I'm going to make a resin copy of the entire rear end and have it on hand for future builds that require IRS setups.

It will be interesting to see how that plays out in resin, it was worth it in the end, but this rear end is really finicky to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) Spent the day at the NNL in Toledo yesterday, tons of new inspiration to get me motivated today. Seems like I am taking baby steps here, but the little stuff is pushing me here, hoping its worth it all in the end. Got the fuel regulator made and the return line on the fuel rail, I also wired the sensors in the throttle body while I was at it. Figured it was a good time to mock everything back up and make sure it still fits, also got some primer on the front splitter and rear diffuser.

exesivefire Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 was doing pretty good till I decided to squeeze the radiator in there. Not so sure that clearance would work in the real world, Gonna need to do something different I'm sure. Off to search the google to find ideas...

Devilsnake98 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 The details on that engine look so good! Probably a little late to angle the turbo outward to gain clearance with the radiator, then you'd have to re - do the exhaust and that would be a shame. Good luck with solving you're problem. Looks good man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exesivefire Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Oh ya, thats not going anywhere easy.. It will be easier to do something with the radiator. Took a break from engine stuff and tackled that spoiler I need. I think this should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakshow12 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Sweet. Is that the middle on a 79-83 spoiler? I get in the same pickles sometimes. Build through them. That's why I build the whole model before I break down for paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Looking awesome and nice touch on the spoiler... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got first coat of primer on the spoiler and some finish sanding. couldnt resist another mockup with the hood. I am really happy with how this is turning out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, just offset the rad so the turbo can pass some air and it'll be fine! Looking good so far. Edited October 13, 2014 by DonW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
