EZ bake Part 4- Parts update

[rx7ttlm]

So I am still gathering all the bits I need to have a massive build weekend. I don't have a garage right now so that's part of whats slowing me down. Snagged some SPC forged aluminum upper control arms with adjustable caster eccentrics. Prothane Polyurethane suspension bushings. A Quafe center diff and other parts below. Sunday my second eclipse should be delivered, so now I can work on one car and still have something do drive so I don't have to wrap up work every night and have the car back together. YAY red shit box . I hope to have the turbo and Inter cooler from EZ Bake 3 installed next weekend! Then I will roll the car to Either PSI or English Racing for them to weld the down pipe together. Anyone happen to have a tig welder in the Portland area so I can do it myself?

Stay tuned for the fuel system update. Unless I come up with a better idea in the next week or so. I will be installing a dual FP 255 fuel pump setup, -8 feed line, stock return, and FIC 2150 Bluemax injectors for running E-85. Since I am running V3 ECM Link I will have two fuel maps, One E85, and at the flick of a switch another to run pump 92. The filter will likely be some form of 40 micron filter with a stainless element for use with E85 and the nasty fuels After all that's sorted out I will roll the car over to my friends body shop and have him massage the huge door dent and front bumper issues.

some interesting hybrid aluminum/ poly diff bushings to replace the whooped stock ones that are DESTROYED!

I got aluminum rear sub frame bushings

That's right B!tches, Evo 9 Wheels that will be here tuesday

There will be no whacked bushings on my car, only the good stuff. Prothane doesn't make the Black bushings anymore. So I made my own black with some dye.

you know what they say about black right?

Center diff madness

FP intake pipe to match my DSM76 turbo. I might drop this off at ETS and have them powder coat this Black as well.

Powder coated the water pipe because I can.

Forged aluminum upper control arms from SPC.

And some of the sickest stuff I have bought to date.

Digital Level

This obviously isn't my car but this is the alignment setup I bought

More info on the alignment setup?

Its a string based setup system made by Smart Racing products. Its about 400 bucks, its like using 4 jack stands with fishing line. But this way I can roll the car and not have the strings be out of alignment.

So I use a digital caliper and measure the distance between the string and the aft end of the wheel, Zero the caliper, and then measure the front. This will give you the toe setting in thousandths of an inch. If your math savvy you can convert this to degrees min sec like the factory kids use. Camber / caster gauge was another 200 bucks. I Built systems similar to this for everything from mustang sedans to LMP cars. Assuming your wheels are straight its hard to get a more repeatable alignment. Cause how their alignment heads get put on are rarely repeatable. My specs are tighter than any of the alignment shops with their hunter machines or similar.
