right i been meaning to get a build thread up for a while now so here it is as stands



its been around quite alot but i plan on keeping it for a while even if i\'m broke at the end of every month because im filling it up all the time anyway here\'s a small spec list as it stands

-EGR and PAS removed
-HKS mushroom filter
-Rotechniks twin exhaust system
-Twin downpipe
-Twin alternator pulley

Interior:

-thrash garage racing bucket seat
-dildo gear knob
-sparco steering wheel

as soon as i got it first thing i done was get rid of the :censored::censored::censored::censored: alloy nuts get some steel ones on there and put a tidy stereo in the car

next was the splitter gear knob and bucket seat il just post all the recent photos with this lot






next up im going to be doing a full service plugs,oil,diff,trans flud and put some falkens i got up the garage

i was just curious as to what oil people recommend its currently running 10-40 mineral oil

an last of all i wast looking for some advice on the afm adjustment when the car went for the mot they said it was running rich and they adjusted it but after seeing some people say they run rich anyway i was just looking to see what it should be running at

Looking lovely!! :D Nice and tidy indeed! :Laugh

Looks in very nice condition inside and out, hows the underneath held up? Looks very well taken care of!

As for oil people will argue this amongst each other til they\'re blue in  the face so take your pick, I use 10w40 mineral oil as well.

Are they WORKS alloys? Either way they really do suit the car very  nicely, as does the S13 front splitter, seems a popular mod lately! :D

Also welcome :Laugh

Sounds like yours went in the same place mine has gone, maybe it\'s just an EGI thing to go on the back drivers arch, but none the less looks lovely! :Laugh

Its Ginnai\'s old car. If you do a search on here you should be able to find his original build thread from about 3 years ago.  Its a nice car mate. Shame its changed hands a fair bit over the last few years.

I like this car too, one of the best looking S4\'s around. Top work matey. Its amazing how much difference is made to the engine bay when changing the fan, can i see more engine bay pics please :)

dthebuk

ah this old slag. Been passed around a fair bit but it should be a good car still.


Good job on getting a splitter back on!

Loving the look of this! Where did you get the seat and rails from? Also, what spec are the wheels?

aundre-3000

thanks for the comments guys

yeah i plan on keeping it for a while i can see why people buy them and then sell them the fuel consumption is really bad

@Tiddles thanks for them links mate

@B.martin sure mate here some more




@ali303 i had the seat from stav on dw its from the sexy knights rx7 he\'s got.
i bought the seat rails from a member on here their r-magic ones touge distribution i think sell them

8j front and 9j back although i think they will look much better if i get them polished up the lips

Kamatari

Engine bay does look quite nice...but apart from being able to get to the engine better, is there any other benefits from an electric fan?

Ah I thought so, thanks for the info dude. Any idea what the offsets of the wheels are?

aundre-3000

small update just been taking some pics







now winters here i fancied polishing up the lips on the mazdaspeed wheels
so i put some old wheels i had lying around on the mazda





there\'s just some problems for me to do now there\'s some bad rust on the arches that needs looking plus its loosing brake fluid somewhere
