Thats a very good point! gotta see how low it is indeed, i am getting an HKS Kansai front diffuser which could protect it, that being, if it fits now with the extended sump.

ill see if i can persuade Rick to grab a pic showing how level it is to the rest of the car

Thanks everyone, for the positive words!

thx for the post

did i told you how much i like alcantra

Rain · 19th January 2008, 04:56 AM

more pics and new bits.

So, just like the perfect Japanese train system the icing bits came in today as they were meant to, and some other bits got put on the car today.

Nice Greddy Oil cooler installed.

Pipes were already polished too!

(Icing time)

Got tired of looking at those valve covers, so we had some painted,

Then i figured...hey, hmm lets do the surge tank too, would look shweet! (yes i said sshhhweeet)

Im not a fan of polished metals, unless the car is from the 70s

another reason why im wondering about those pipes hmmmm...

Its coming along, and its getting really damn fun!

With regards to the oil pan, i think we will have to wait till the front bumper is on and the cars suspension is adjusted etc to how i want it, before i can get a proper idea of how it will look, IF it is too low, i think ill just get a custom aluminum sump plat/diffuser made up.

Just a quick add,

Nice Endless-R engine/Car build plaque

MeLLoN Stu · 19th January 2008, 07:07 AM

Love it mate, very impressed with your approach to this, and endless' detail

can i ask what kind of paint that is?, would be perfect for what i want but in a different colour.

top notch build by the way but you should have gone for endless-r's titanium inlet/intercooler piping

Hugo · 19th January 2008, 02:35 PM

That's a crackle finish, like Mine's

Or you ment the exact type of grids/flakes used?

yeah i meant the type of grids/flakes and does anyone know where i can get it from at a reasonable price in the uk

Rain · 19th January 2008, 04:37 PM

Any good paint shop would know,and not to be rude man, but, id like to keep this thread on topic about the project. cheers.

roadie · 19th January 2008, 09:46 PM

I wouldn't be too concerned about the oil pan, mine sits 3 inches above the ground, and it's never hit a thing (22,000kms and counting)....

By the way, where will this car eventually end up country wise ????

Just seen this thread for the first time, and you're just round the corner, right? Brilliant stuff. Love to see the car some day soon. Keep up the good work!

Cheers Thrust, we are in Kobe, car is going away for a few days today, but I will let you know when its back, and will let you know when we have some other interesting cars finished

More than welcome to come over, will show you roud the shop and cars.
Will you be coming to the Auto Messe? Have a few special things on the stand.....one from HKS and one from Trust which is eye candy.

Rain · 20th January 2008, 06:42 AM

Wow..just...WOW...

Got some great news today. Engine was finished, and here are the results of what have to be the most eventful few weeks ive had, i only wished i could have actually been there when they were working but this is as close as i can get

Let the pictures do the talking.

Notice the Polished Greddy fuel rail, the lettering and lines were left blue just as a little icing. Sugino-sans idea, the man is brilliant.

Gotta say this had blown me away the attention to detail and work is amazing. Only thing left to do is the hose work, i wanted to do SOMETHING myself so i figured once the car is delivered i would swap the hoses for black so at least i can say i did that

And to my great surprise Rick had compiled a short montage movie of the build for me, including short video at the end!

Video to follow..
