the 8s rub just a hare on really hard compression of a big bump never driving hard with just a little bit more offset they would be perfect. the fronts are kinda weird i am running 40mm offset up front but i need a 20mmofset because of the front brake conversion of 2nd gen TII brakes

That was my follow-up question, what offsets are you running?



I was thinking of running 7s and 8s, but I'm a big fan of less backspacing (small, little, or no offset) but I'm not sure how much I can get away with. I'm also running FC 4 piston calipers.

That car is such hot ****! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif Now if you will excuse me I have to go clean myself off. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blush.png

Sweet Ride!



I'm looking to add a Turbo to my 85 GSL-SE, and hopefully post pics of it here also!!

very nice love the colour aswell

haha awsome, finnaly, ive been getting ym car prepped for paint in a dark metallic orange with black wheels and accents, and ive not been able ot find pics at all.



glad to see it, now i have more of an idea of what it will look like once completed.



absoloutly gorgeous

You have got an im, i just noticed your post and some of the parts are for sale on it.

Thanks for all the comments on it now i just got to get it running again!!

Outstanding https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

Nice, I was wondering who owned that orange car. Trust me you do not want to get 13b-rew. Trust me on this one...go with a cosmo. If you want the rew UIM it is much easier to swap it.



I am in the middle of a rew swap at the moment. If you need any help I am more than willing to help out.



BTW, I am not a newb...just transfered over from rx7club.com. This forum kicks butt!

Hey. ZBeater

I seen some pictures of you car lookin good man.

I thought I would post up a picture of Iotus..

I have always loved Iotus. Beautiful car!!!

the orange car is beautiful man...pure sex https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png





isaac

to get that orange color, did u do hydro-graphicing or what?? im trying to get my all carbon fiber, such as the dash and the middle console, but its so expensive!!!!!!

????????????????

I just did body work and molding to get it to look the way i wanted and then painted it with the same paint that is on the outside of the car The molding and body work was a complete pain but it turned out ok.





Thanks again everyone for the positive comments on the car I really appreciate it i have three yrs into getting it there and now it has been blown up for 6 mo and is getiing parts taken off so i can sell them so i can build it again!

What a relief, I don't feel so bad about mine taking so long now...

There are a lot of small little things to overcome. I went with the FD which was a little bit of a mistake to start.



I needed to get a 2nd gen CAS and a few other small things. Also the cosmo was a little bit of an older engine so many of the things were more like the 2nd gen.(if that makes sense at all) Also the ports are way larger on the cosmo.



The upside of a FD though is that the UIM looks way cooler IMO.



What tranny are you intending on running? I am using a S5 modified to fit the FB body. I am not sure if there has been a write up on this already but it is fairly easy. Much easier when you look at the tranny.



I also have a FD stock flywheel. I am a little afraid that this will not be the right size though. We will see when I mount up the TII starter. If at that point it does not fit then I will have to pull the engine and throw a 2nd gen flywheel on there. Does anyone know this off hand?



I am not sure if the Cosmo is a push or pull clutch but the 3rd gen is a pain and since I decided to go with a 2nd gen tranny I had to pick up a 2nd gen clutch and PP. The 2nd gen Clutch and PP match up fine to the 3rd gen flywheel.



Regardless that car looks supurb and you can tall that there was a ton of man hours placed into this project. And speaking from a person that has been working on his car for 6 months I can fully appreciate the amount of time and work a project like this takes to complete.

Heres my 82 FB. I did the swap last winter. Its a 90 jspec stock block. Modfied S-5 tranny. 85 gsl rear end with SE pumpkin. SE gas tank and lines. 15 inch tsw.

Modds on the motor. Full 3 inch exhaust with magna flow. Rebuilt turbo. CAI , block off plates, TB modd, Under drive main pulley, E fan, MSD 6AL and blaster coils on the leading, RB FCD, Greddy Profec B, Walbro 255, RC 750's in the secondaries, Aeromotive FPR, Autometer Boost, AFR narrow, oil pressure, MSD shift lift, Hurst Shifter, Right now I am working on my FMIC, Just waiting on my Greddy elbow to come in, Your orange car is incredible. [attachment=36184:attachment][attachment=36185:attachment][attachment=36186:attachment]

Thanks alot your car looks good what boost levels are you running?

Currently I am running 7.5 on the low setting on the profec B. I have never went above 7.5 on purpose. It does creep up there on a 3rd gear pull. I have ported the wastegate quite a bit, but it still creeps. As soon as I wrap up the fmic intercooler I will probably bump the low up to 10 psi. I am running this car pretty conservative on the boost, in fact my low setting on the profec B is 0% which equals about 7-8. We are having a local club dyno at the end of the month, so I will get to check my afr and go from there.



You said you blew your motor, what happened.

Thanks

Tuning on the street by myself and changed boost maps and i didnt catch it leaned it out on one of the boost maps and that was it

Here is my turbo FB, its currently getting painted from the faded and peeling red to a nice metalic black! It put down 247hp/232ftlbs @ 8psi. I could do more with a boost controller or bigger turbo but I want this much quick spoolin power for autocross.
