Oh, and I swapped rims with the R32, looks alot better wouldn't you all say? (snap in the signature)

Finally, here's the motor, custom block, custom headers,
the valve cover, and the intake manifold, are from the Initial D R32

P.S Legos rock!

Nice engine. Is that the final ride height? Or are the wheels stuffed under the wheel wheels?

SupaMan89T · 09-13-2004, 09:50 PM

o man that motor looks awsome!

ElRxBandito · 09-13-2004, 11:01 PM

It's not the final height, but it is the desired height, I might have to trim a bit to make it happen, but I think I can make it happen.

Thanks for the input, it really helps!!

Got the motor in and plumbed, the muffler shooting out at an angle
and the ride hight is final
Just need to trim a bit to get my new brakes to fit.
but this is it, hope you like it so far.

All that's left is some interior and all the exterior.

SupaMan89T · 09-14-2004, 01:15 AM

looks awsome love the exhaust angle! JDM YoZ!

ElRxBandito · 09-14-2004, 01:42 AM

Finished the Interior, and installed the brakes.
Now just the exterior to do.

SupaMan89T · 09-14-2004, 03:00 AM

wow,you work faster than me SLOW DOWN!

ElRxBandito · 09-15-2004, 04:01 PM

I decided on a color, just gonna be primer with some clear coat.

ElRxBandito · 09-15-2004, 06:28 PM

Oh, and a carbon lip, headlights, and hood, not too sure if I should do the trunk too, but there's a chance.

86_SR5 · 09-15-2004, 07:02 PM

Hmm. Well theres light/dark grey, red, white, black, and several other colors of primer, maybe a little more specific...? The car looks pretyt good, but i think the wrx rims looked better. I'd have just droped a v8 in there, because the r32 initial d engine looks very fake, not because of your work. Good luck with the side open hood.

ElRxBandito · 09-15-2004, 07:28 PM

Here's the before the paint snap. (med grey primer)

ElRxBandito · 09-15-2004, 08:14 PM

Here's how it sits for the time being.
I have the headlights, lip, and hood all carbon,
now I just need to the the skirts, the lower rear
bumper, and the middle portion of the wing.

And I need to make hinges for the hood.

Heh, and the exhaust line.

And you can also see some minor imperfections in the paint,
but it's still in progress, this is about the 80% mark.

I love having the muffler all cocked at an angle, sooooooo pretty.
