Hey guys,

finally got some new stuff to post!!

Picked up some of the last parts for the car

-Garfinkle Engine Torque Dampener
settle the drivetrain for more spot on shifting
not sure what finish i'm going to do on mine yet

-Shine 3 piece undertray
the last part of the aero kit that i needed

-Tweak-It Idler Pulley
no water pump pulley slippage and over heating for me


everything should be here in about a weeks time...the worst part about buying parts, the shipping time!!!

Damn, your FD is pretty much the nicest one I've seen in terms of relatively wild, yet tasteful, mods. Great job and congrats!

Got some awesome Full Function Engineering fuel rails on the way!!! and some new ID850s for the primaries, i never really liked the stock secondaries in the primary position

and i had a bit of moment with my car today...
so i was moving some stuff around in my drive way today...and i turned around my car was sitting there like "sup"

so i had one of those moments we all have where we just stand back for a minute and look at our cars

and there were 2 things that really struck me as i was looking at her

1.) How well the URAS bumper was designed as far as functionality goes for cooling. There is still a little bit of ducting i need to make from the middle opening to the v-mount so that its perfect, but its pretty damn good!! and then the oil coolers are really well ducted with just the bumper

2.) The fitment on the wheels is freaking incredible. I'm not sure how the owner of ISS Forged does what he does, but he is a mastermind!!

So the Full Function Engineering package got here today...

I have to say, dealing with FFE has been an absolute pleasure. Very quick to respond, very informative of all questions/concerns. Definitely one of my favorite sponsors, and their product is nothing short of SUPERB!!

Being around alot of billet parts and seeing alot of parts being made, I have a pretty keen eye from machined parts. I have to say that These parts are very well made. The fit and finish is on point, and there is a great deal of that mechanical sex appeal to these parts.

my verdict on the FFE parts, 100% winning!! if you're looking for parts and they are on your list, forget the rest...these guys are badasses!!!

my box of parts:
-FFE Secondary Rail
-FFE Primary Rail
-FFE O-Ringed injector spacers
-ID850 Primary injectors
-Pigtails for the injectors


PICS!!!

Finally was able to get the fuel system all setup, and the FFE parts are amazing!!

They fit perfectly, and the ports for the inlet/outlet of each rail has a beveled edge so that you can use o-ringed fittings for a perfectly tight leak-proof fit!! beautiful machine work!!

I'm almost there guys!!! 3 more fittings that have been ordered and i'll be able to hook up all the fuel lines and get her started!!! woot woot!!!
