Sub'd despite the slow progress. This thing is cool enough I'd be willing to wait 20 years to see it get finished.

RIP to the forums bro, they murdered everything with that stunt they pulled.

Heres an update to hold it over until i convert some of my stuff over to flickr. Sorry for the copy/paste

Thanks photobucket for ruining the forums and this build thread. I am going to copy/paste a shit ton of pictures so ask questions if you have them.

i have flipped over my current stuff to flickr but not sure if i will get around to converting the entire thread over. May do a cliff notes version and answer questions if there are any. Anyways, just got my infinity 506 stand alone and found a crazy deal on the DMC crimper i need for the pins in the milspec connector i will be ordering shortly. It is consistently 100*+ in my garage which makes it hard to find motivation to work on this thing. I have reinstalled my engine harness and the chassis harness so now just planning things out and getting ready for final wiring. Still need to order some battery cable, wire strippers, and another crimp tool for battery cable lugs and the infinity connector plugs. This weekend i hope to get the hood cut for the exhaust and do a mock up on ECU location to confirm the harness length.

Here is a quick run through to get us caught up from when she came back from the fab shop.
before moving to texas



Right when she got back


engine mounts got shortened which dropped the engine almost an inch.


IC setup


Battery tray setup


Exhaust welded and catch can mounted













Hood now closes without the throttle body on

[danny33]

This was the solution to the broken alternator mount ear on the block. Also allows adjustment for the belt tension







Time for some plumbing














Throttle body cut to delete the traction control motor/ throttle blade

[danny33]

FPR and IAC plumbed in


Much better clearance on that feed line now


044 mounted and set at the OEM depth


-8 feed mounted, need more fittings to finish this up for good


I have a badass 3 gauge air vent pod coming and once that gets fitted i will paint all the trim


Excited to get started on wiring this thing up




Cut up that BN replica rear bumper after selling the skirts and front. Will figure out mounting and remake another set of skirts along with a lip of some type in the front

[danny33]

got some stuff done today even though it was hot as hell. 97* in the garage all day but it wasnt too bad.


Wiring mess in the bay currently




getting pretty good at pulling the hood off and putting it back on by myself lol. No turning back after this!


Cut up this piece of scrap carbon but will be remaking this.




trimmed more of the skeleton and now it clears the throttle body and closes without hitting anything. very happy i dont need to add a vent.


Got this badass 3d printed triple gauge pod from a guy off the RX7 FB group.






Ordered a 55 pin milspec connector lastnight and still need to order some other wiring stuff and sensors before i can get started on the harness. I think i will be wiring in a flex fuel sensor while im at it as well.
