Wonderboy Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 So after going back and forth for a while on my project ideas, I have finally found it (them). Im getting two FC's, a 90 (driver) and a 91 (roller). The roller is gutted and caged. And the driver, well, drives. Im picking up the driver tomorrow and the roller probably saturday evening depending on the weather. Just thought Id let you guys know that my search is over and I will post pics in here tomorrow when I get the first one home. I will be starting a build thread at that time also.

Wonderboy Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 dropping the caged one off for sb? Im assuming sb is small block? And Im thinking possibly. Im not 100% on what Im going to do for drivetrain on that one. Maybe 302 and spray, maybe LS1 and spray, or maybe even go rotary. Im gonna get everything on the car prepped and built before an engine even touches it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotarded1647545491 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 What model are they? 4 piston front calipers? Sunroof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderboy Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 What model are they? 4 piston front calipers? Sunroof? I think they are both GTU's And I know one has sunroof but unsure about the other. And I cant remember the caliper size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotarded1647545491 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 GTU or GTUs? http://www.mazdamark.com/about_the_s5_fc.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderboy Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 GTU or GTUs? http://www.mazdamark.com/about_the_s5_fc.htm Haha, sorry, GTU. I know the driver is gtu for sure but the roller I am unsure. I know the roller has sunroof but I cant remember if the driver did. I dunno, Ill have pics up soon of both.

copperhead Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 LS1 won't fit your budget broseph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotarded1647545491 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 GTUs are the best transplant ones, lighter than a tII but with all the good racing equipt. except the turbo. The LSD would be a torsen though. No likey torque 4 piston calipers were standard on all but the GTU. I beleive they were an available option. Easy and fairly cheap swap if not in the roller. The 4 pistons are vented and all you will need to stop well in the beast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderboy Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 LS1 won't fit your budget broseph Yeah, well if this build takes as long as Im guessing it will, I might be able to save for it. I think n20 on a sbf is a pretty good idea, thats kinda the direction I was leaning in the first place. I would love to do one of them rotary but, that might be out of the budget for a while as well.

Rotarded1647545491 Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Kewl! Don't even try to replace any of the interior trim plastics. New is rediculous expensive, and used are brittle and worthless. Strip all the interior trim and go with aluminum sheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neonkiller Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 everyone knows these cars son. sbf/t5 spray...soild axle swao that bitch.. sell the other one to fund it! True that, However asolid axle will cost more than the motor swap, There is a fc sitting at eddys pick and pull with tons of enterior in it right now. Get the late model fc interior stuff as its a difrent plastic not prone to breaking. Center console peices in them were coated in a rubber like texture witch kept them flexible. Also Ls1 will cost a shit ton! 302 carburated would be cheap and easy as fuck if you plan on just doin spray. My opinion carbed 302 on spray with a auto trans. Quick car and you could braket race the fuck out of it. Tall tires with a 4.10 rear end out of a gxl "lsd" and call it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
