REsuper7のブログ一覧

The past two weeks have slowed down quite a bit in terms of finishing the car. Unfortunately, i still haven't gotten the car running yet. The main obstacle standing in the way is installing the new radiator. Unfortunately, my previous radiator got destroyed in the crash, and since it was a custom set up for my vmount kit, the new radiator wasn't a simple bolt on replacement. In order to get it to fit properly, i need to make new mounts for it. Luckily, my RE雨宮 parts arrived from Japan, so i was able to use the front bumper to help me figure out the ideal mounting location for the radiator so that i wouldn't have to cut too much of the front bumper to get it to fit.

Getting my RE雨宮 parts was like deja vu, especially since my order was almost identical to the first time i ordered.


The main difference was this time i didn't need to order a wing and the rear super canards, but i did order new sleek lights.


And here's a shot of the front bumper temporarily mounted so i could adjust the angle of the radiator.



I hope to finish installing the radiator this coming weekend. If that happens, all i need to do is swap the fuel pump, get oil into engine, transmission, and differential, and i'll be ready to fire up the car. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Besides the radiator, i've hooked up most of the wiring harnesses, including the power harness, and the engine harness to the ECU. While i've been working on the radiator, i've also been test fitting my intercooler. Luckily, the intercooler didn't get damaged in the crash. The mounting brackets were bent up, but a few minutes on the vice and everything was in good working order again.



Oh, i forgot to mention, since my last post, i also finished installing my driveshaft, differential, power plant frame, rear axles, and rear suspension.



I'm so close to getting the car running, but unfortunately, i've been having some issues with some of my other cars so i've been having to use some of my precious weekend time to address those issues as well. Gotta keep pressing on. I hope my next post will contain some good news, like the fact that my car is running. **fingers crossed**
