No. 2 fuse box, right side one, relocated w/fabricated aluminum bracket. On ALL fuse boxes and relays, plugs removed and all the pins cleaned, many were in need. Dielectric grease applied after reconnected too . They all cleaned up really nice. Goes w/my "every little bit makes a difference" philosophy. http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/CLARKS%20FD%20BUILD%20-%20Start%20Pics/Engine%20Painting/Main%20Engine%20Harness%20Mod/Engine%20Related%20Parts/EngineRelated1_zps82401186.jpg Fuse box No. 3 has to be relocated to accommodate new IC. All wires lengthened, all connections made w/non insulated stainless butt connectors, soldered, and shrink tube. The good shrink too, not the crap from the auto parts stores, I hate that stuff. Then of course all these are wrapped in the good tape which I swear by, hate junk electrical tape too, lol. http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/CLARKS%20FD%20BUILD%20-%20Start%20Pics/Engine%20Painting/Main%20Engine%20Harness%20Mod/Engine%20Related%20Parts/ER2_zpse3ec9a29.jpg No. 3 fuse box mounted. http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/CLARKS%20FD%20BUILD%20-%20Start%20Pics/Engine%20Painting/Main%20Engine%20Harness%20Mod/Engine%20Related%20Parts/ER3_zpsdd9698d6.jpg http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/CLARKS%20FD%20BUILD%20-%20Start%20Pics/Engine%20Painting/Main%20Engine%20Harness%20Mod/Engine%20Related%20Parts/ER4_zpsebcb666b.jpg Modified OEM bracket for electric fans relays (relay tree). MAC valve for TRUBOOST mounted here as well, first time I've not fabricated a separate bracket for the MAC.

Cleaning like this actually not part of the deal, least not "discussed" anyway. However, price for this is heavy and I like to give lots of extra perks when I do a big project on one. Customers like that, good business to make sure they get the most bang for their buck. http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/CLARKS%20FD%20BUILD%20-%20Start%20Pics/Body%20Cleaning%20Pics/BodyCleaning1BC1_zps710b0808.jpg http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/CLARKS%20FD%20BUILD%20-%20Start%20Pics/Body%20Cleaning%20Pics/BC2_zps503964a1.jpg http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/CLARKS%20FD%20BUILD%20-%20Start%20Pics/Body%20Cleaning%20Pics/BC6_zps4cd2aad5.jpg http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/CLARKS%20FD%20BUILD%20-%20Start%20Pics/Body%20Cleaning%20Pics/BC8_zps72d23b9b.jpg http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/CLARKS%20FD%20BUILD%20-%20Start%20Pics/Body%20Cleaning%20Pics/BC9_zps1b5859a7.jpg http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/CLARKS%20FD%20BUILD%20-%20Start%20Pics/Body%20Cleaning%20Pics/BC4_zps338ae7f6.jpg http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/CLARKS%20FD%20BUILD%20-%20Start%20Pics/Body%20Cleaning%20Pics/BC5_zps07c6d459.jpg

Wow, them are some kind words fellas. Nice to hear I will admit. It is actually a tremendous undertaking to do one of these so that the engine bay when finished becomes a picture if you know what I mean. I am constantly planning ahead for the final products finished look. It has to have depth, perception, background, foreground. So it actually looks like a, picture. Well thats my own little world anyway, lol. Oh yeah, it has to run killer too. Thanks for the kind words though, really. I will continue w/the post. Thanks again

Obviously I would normally paint the iron engine pcs. when they were out, but that was not part of the deal. Nor was painting irons at all far as that goes, lol. However, they were nasty looking in my opinion and showing surface rust in many places, so I did em in car w/a brush. Clean and prep, primer, paint, and clear. All I did to the aluminum pcs. was brush off the flaking silver paint somebody else put on em. I normally bead blast them, no paint. Was worth it though, looks much better.

Ok, been forever since I posted a FD BUILD, or anything really far as that goes. First off, this is just a post I'm doing on a 1995 Mazda FD RX7, 60k original miles, nothing special here and I realize most on this forum probably are not interested, but its an automotive forum, and this is all I work on, so here it is. I tried to condense it much as possible so if it seems repetitive, you may be right...lol.

I thought the show was really good time. Everyone did a nice job w/their cars overall I thought. Congrats to DOC, broke the ice w/the "Toyota" lol, getting its first win. Maybe go for a second in April ??? The Lambo is to nasty for words, ...thats it. Good stuff.

Will be there

I just threw that in there because it was Doc lol. However, them BRZ's do seem to be getting alot of attention and I think that would be good thread too. I would'nt mind knowing little more about em myself, nice lookin car.

First off, I want to say I had a good time today, I thought there was a nice variety of cars and everybody did a good job on em. Weather held out and overall it was a good time. Just a few pictures of our little display from today, and I could not resist throwing in a couple pics of this personalized "lone" Toyota display (least according to the badges on car, lol) by a infamous CR member, you may recognize him...:lolguy: http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/Import%20Face%20Off%20Sept%2029th%202013/DSC04128_zps8fe04e69.jpg http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/Import%20Face%20Off%20Sept%2029th%202013/DSC04131-c_zps66ccdb04.jpg http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/Import%20Face%20Off%20Sept%2029th%202013/DSC04129_zps31d0482a.jpg http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/Import%20Face%20Off%20Sept%2029th%202013/DSC04127-c_zps727e5c3e.jpg http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/Import%20Face%20Off%20Sept%2029th%202013/DSC04127_zpse32e3956.jpg http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/Import%20Face%20Off%20Sept%2029th%202013/DSC04135_zps1a05b37b.jpg http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/Import%20Face%20Off%20Sept%2029th%202013/DSC04134-c_zps5631772f.jpg

Nice pics ! Lots of nice cars, nice turnout. Looking forward to next spring already...lol

Thanks Mojoe...even a blind squirrel gets an acorn once in awhile :lolguy:

For the record that gas station is not in a dangerous area, least not in my opinion. If that area scares ya, you better stay home, lol.

Thank you, that is really good to hear. Adam paid good money and I think its important to get your monies worth. Car came along way from sitting for 2 odd years. I honestly hope it brings Adam years of enjoyment, he worked hard to make it happen.

I like your style...
