KD93R1 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Always check the wires right at the motors on outside of motor cover. The OEM mounting setup has OEM IC ducting and OEM air filter box mounted so they tend to sit on and rub on them fan wires. So I always have to address those. Will not be an issue w/new setup, Defined V-MOUNT, with some minor tweaks lol. Its a very nice kit though in my opinion, especially compared to most others. Price is reasonable too. So anyway, fan wires all dressed up w/all the attention they needed, and then some. Overkill is under-rated in my opinion. :lolguy: http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/CLARKS%20FD%20BUILD%20-%20Start%20Pics/Electric%20Fans%20EF/ElectricFans1EF1_zps391e2fc3.jpg See what I mean about cleaning dirty plugs.... http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/CLARKS%20FD%20BUILD%20-%20Start%20Pics/Electric%20Fans%20EF/EF2_zpsa9371d43.jpg Best way to clean these is to....cleanly, cut em off! :fuckyeah: http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/CLARKS%20FD%20BUILD%20-%20Start%20Pics/Electric%20Fans%20EF/EF3_zpsc06deba1.jpg Them plugs just connect to another harness less than 18in long which runs to a plug connecting to actual fan relay. Given that, I decided to eliminate them ugly mothers and hardwire em. Easy enough to just unplug at relay if needed. No brainer. http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/CLARKS%20FD%20BUILD%20-%20Start%20Pics/Electric%20Fans%20EF/EF4_zpsf005a005.jpg http://i1039.photobucket.com/albums/a473/KD93R1PB/CLARKS%20FD%20BUILD%20-%20Start%20Pics/Electric%20Fans%20EF/EF5_zps8285d4f0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Kevin only knows how to do AWESOME. Nothing he does is "that'll do". It has to function to perfection, and be of great quality. Great work Kevin. Looking forward to next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shmaa Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Looks absolutely awesome! Really makes me want to go through mine. I have a Maval manual rack. Know anyone with a PS unit in good shape that would trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second Gen Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Wow looks great and only wish I had the patience to do that kind of detail. You worked on my FD many years ago when you worked @ the RX7 Store (Something minor I could not figure out). I will eventually pick up another ReX and great to see a Castle White one running around in the area. Beside the Sivertone & Black this is my second favorite color combination.

zeitgeist57 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Man, that engine bay is a work of art. Kevin, great idea painting the hard coolant lines green! At least, that's what I think those are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl1647545492 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Nice little V mount setup..stock turbos can still make 325 350 wheel. Is that Lukes car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) It was Lukes car. While storing it last Winter, a buddy of mine bought it from Luke. Luke sold all his RX7's and his EVO, and just picked up a RX8. I don't understand why. But, it's not for me to decide on, as long as he likes it.

KD93R1 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Looks absolutely awesome! Really makes me want to go through mine. I have a Maval manual rack. Know anyone with a PS unit in good shape that would trade? I assume you mean a manual rack for an FD? Wow looks great and only wish I had the patience to do that kind of detail. You worked on my FD many years ago when you worked @ the RX7 Store (Something minor I could not figure out). Thanks man. However, for the record I never "actually worked" for them, but have done some trouble-shooting, special projects, and engines for em. If I was able to help you for some chance, I'm glad I could.. Them are some good guys though dont get me wrong, just sayin. Man, that engine bay is a work of art. Kevin, great idea painting the hard coolant lines green! At least, that's what I think those are? Yes, think its called GRABBER GREEN. It goes w/my quick identify setup dealie...long story short, coolant related pcs. you'll see some green. Sorta a trademark of mine, if you will. Nice little V mount setup..stock turbos can still make 325 350 wheel. Is that Lukes car? V-MOUNT is very nice kit. I cant take credit for that though, kit comes from DEFINED AUTOWORKS. Very nice kit. Again, thanks for all the kind words. I was actually able to spend past winter on mines. I may just do a post on that here soon.
