Got some fuel stuff, hope this helps. Took a extra SARD FPR I had laying around and got some AN fittings so I can put this on the AE86, hopefully this will help smooth out the Fuel since I have a inline 255 on my sr20det and they can get funny with those on a stock FPR.

Ian, when are we gonna see some videos of this beast in action brother?

[marley4us]

I will post a video of her tomorrow, I plan on installing the FPR and taking her out for a spin.

[RuizXIII]

Let us know how you like those quick mini-latches!
I was thinking about the same thing instead the standard zip tie 'X' haha

[marley4us]

I love em, they are strong, all metal and really well made, I should install em soon. Just been working at two hospitals so time has not been abundant.


I made this little video and forgot about it, so I will post it now

Wow I love the diy everything. Sick build. I want my car to be done already but there's always something that comes up.

I am really liking the led red lines. It's exactly what I've been looking for. If I can ever find a set.. lol

[marley4us]

Thanks MCmike- Been watching your killer thread too! wish I had your fab skills!!


Got a little done today, with the quick latchs.

Made a bracket

I've been following yours too. I wish this was all me but sadly Merrill is the one with the most hands on at the moment. I wish I had your ingenuity! Keep up the good work. Btw very nice collection of cars you've assembled. Wish I could expand but this one is sucking up all my moneys.

[marley4us]

Thanks, life keeps getting in the way, or funds getting dumped into the mr2 etc.... this project has taken so much longer then I expected... Hopefully I will have her our driving like a champ soon!

That's the spirit!

Swapped out my sideskirts with a friend, got some banged up CF technotunning ones, I am going to give it my best to re Carbonfiber and glass them up... hope I can make em look clean. But this will be a task

This side is really bad... lets see if I can fix it...

It's been a while since the last update, so I forgot how wide you wheels are.

[marley4us]

Thanks cloud- Ya it has been too long, and I love my deep wheels!!!

Well attempting to blend Carbon Fiber.... did not work hahaha. I really did not think it was going to work very good, but it was worth a try. I need to figure out a way to salvage these somehow...

Maybe I will smooth out the reglass and paint over it, with some sort of theme...

[marley4us]

Been too busy, I need to change my intake manifold gasket, and I need to fix the FPR, and of course to add to the list I buy more stuff lol

Got a GT28RS I could not say no too
