My FC Rx7. Certed years ago for Tein coilovers and front strut brace. I have brandnew BC Gold 4 corners as recommended on here by OS, so future WOF be no issue I assuming. Further, fitting non factory turbo, FMIC, braiided engine bay lines etc so it WILL need a new cert or as engine still 13BT it 'not' modified?

Compare the HT18 to Borg

Intercooler bespoke from Vinny Fab in Chch. So I first spoke to Lars (owner) first hand REunion 2024 about a FMIC for FC that doesn't require cutting engine bay holes nor deletion of S5 front fog lights (sleeper look?). Said be a part on his website as building such a car currently. Listed late last year, purchased Dec 30 (3-6 week). Endless excuses as why not done Jan-April...emails & phonecalls was my only contact because nothing their end. Arrived and as was a huge dropped ball by VF powdercoat free & hundy store credit. Shame as the welds and craftwork is spoton but I cashed in the hundy for merch, reaaally wanted them to do my exhaust manifold but one bitten..

Geezuz. Only heafty parts update as life & $$ has really got in the way a bunch. Turbo/suspension/FMIC update plenty lill parts, but not pic worthy. Saving hardout & the Trump Tariff saga got me fastracking US built stuff already landed in NZ hence 2 of 3.

I did do the razor blade on corner and pretty much popped off. Much win by the sounds /no illegal photographic evidence attached

Silly question time. Need to remove cert plate on fire wall to repaint engine bay. Drilled out rivets but seems adhesive backed as well, i gonna properly munt this plate removing it so is there big issues getting it remade and handing my old creased one like with number plates? Cherrs

Yeah, Did a bit of googling, seeing as drag racing and burnouts not my thing I thought it be cool extra thing that I'd not abuse. My engine builder asked " are you going to drag race it" and gave the vibe that he not be happy I risk anything to my new engine so shelved the idea.

Very interested in the 2 step option and how that allsorts out.

Its not, Low Standard ones are though He has his camera in their faces whilst giving them out so I guess compelled, only a sticker so I bet most peeled off when home. I'm sure many guys say no thanks and Ash edits that bit out.

I vote the chocolate metallic brown, metallic picks up curves and body lines in the light and pop with the chrome. Heck, Interior white with red seats and call it Jellytip even.. Can't wait to see this on the YT rotary channels and hopefully get Ash to put his 'tag' on it

My engine builder has S6 rear and middle irons extended ported for $350 each. But yeah, if keen using FC manifold then be issues.

FYI FD irons and housings are the superior items, Irons more meat to port for one.

My engine builder said " Normally it's lack of coolant and I would replace ( if irons cracked). Not worth a dodgy repair taking everything out. I'd be putting it down to corrosion, rusty coolant passages my guess "

Are you getting a bespoke bonnet skin made up on the ute frame to suit the 3 nosecone?
