If you don't mind me asking (and I have tried searching several times but haven't found a solid answer) what axle/ control arm/ tie rod combo did you use with the g25MR and the XR2 brakes. I want to order all new stuff to do mine, but I don't want to end up with more spares that don't fit, Lol. Shed is full already!

Great build by the way! Love that color, and doing it with A/C! Nice:thumbup:

Thanks for the kind replys guys, Im trying my best here
Well I'm running..

Aspire swaybar
Xr2 half shaft
Xr2 Axles
G series trans
Aspire Lower Contol Arms
10.2" Capri Xr2 rotors
Capri Calipers
Kyb GR2 Struts (for A Festiva)
Aspire Springs
Festiva tie rod ends
Festiva rack


That's about it

What about front hubs?

[M3NTAL]

Capri hubs attached to Capri Rotors with new pressed in bearings

Only downfall to capri brakes is the smallest wheel you can run is a 14 inch. All the common drag slicks are 13 inch. I'd trade my capri brakes for aspire brakes but I would miss some stopping power

Rough estimate





Going to get a EFI washer tank so that I'll have room on the passenger side for the IC piping, might as well cause I have a EFI harness! Lol

I bought some Thermo Tec Thermo Guard Insulation today for my radiator hose, and AC lines to help out with extreme turbo heat. The company claims "*

Thermo-Guard FR offers the best in heat and sound insulation. This lightweight, durable shield does everything: reduces sound, absorbs vibration, protects from radiant heat and provides an extra layer of insulating padding. The product features 100% synthetic fiber felt that provides sound and comfort control and a high-tech foil
heat barrier that blocks 70%(One-Sided) of radiant heat up to 1500º F.

13 bucks it's worth a shot

July 24,

Trimmed up the lower bumper for intercooler, made a support bracket for Intercooler, routed cold side, trimmed up bumper for AC line, and almost finished the lower radiator hose routing.

Still need to thermo wrap a few parts, fill tranny with fluid, exhaust, shift linkage, seats, bleed brakes, throw some fresh gas and start her up.











Looks like rust in this pic but its not
And I need to clamp these up!










Starting Tuesday! ( I hope)

[takeone51]

you jerk, shoulda asked me to install your intercooler..

[Damkid]

Sorry man, but i am not a fan of that piping, i mean i'm sure its a tight engine bay with A/C and all but isn't there anyway to keep it in the engine bay? lol

[M3NTAL]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Let's just say this is temporary

[Damkid]

Ah ok

[festivaWES]

That setup won't work... that swy bar is gonna play hell on that piping... it may last a 2.5 mile trip with minimal bumps...imho
