Raw Brokerage - War Machine Vert Build

[Coolwhip]

Not yet I kinda ran outta money LOL.Im haveing to sell KA parts to fund the project.LOL

Ah, thats why you didn't pay that order eh Lee?

I'll ship it out to you today so that you don't have to worry about it, just to be a slacker!

Are you doing this because of the lack of updates , but I'm sure your temp in much better than here in Chicago.

HAHA, well the latest update is that I'm putting the vert on the back burner and now giving the coupe a run, reasoning for the wheels.

Brake booster went bad on the coupe which I daily drive so pretty much no brakes and blown struts = time to upgrade everything.

But been SUPERman busy, putting out fires and saving RB's from the clutches of death!

Thanks man i really appreciate that,ive sent you an email.

[placham]

This thread is full of WIN , saving RB's , what u mean. Are they endangered all ready like KA' are. You see people blowing KA's on purpose left and right.

[Coolwhip]

ah, people get emontional quick when a part breaks and they want to blow up their engine...

But they forget that I'm here and can solve their problems with a simple click of a button to ship them out some RB goodness! :yum

[rbs14kouki]

hey ricky it's Pierre-Olivier (the guy from Montreal canada) ... any update from your built ?

i'm so jeloues about your VS-XX , they are my dream wheels ... this year was the engine rebuilt next year is the wheels !!!

i cant wait to receive my parts i ordered from you !!!! any news on the shiping date ???

[Coolwhip]

Hey P-O! Waiting on tomei parts to land and you'll be getting a tracking number at that time

I haven't even cleaned the XX's thats how busy I've been.

The vert build as taking a back seat for now and I'll be focusing on my daily driver coupe as I need to do some upgrades to it as a RB25 in a stock chassis is horrible.

Updates??

[pablo13]

Seconded.

[Coolwhip]

so alittle update... the plan has changed after thinking about it enough... going to be rebuilding the hatch as the War Machine. Far better platform for some track use. Vert will still be on call though.

In a new location that will allow me to work on the car, so should have better progress. But updates after everything is caught up here at Raw Brokerage... June was crazy :P

[placham]

No more vert , Just ordered my Rb26 clear timing cover and idler spring from RawBrokerage. So some fund flowing in get this car done. LOL But I see some other parts on site, maybe when funds aren't tight I'll pick the up.

Ricky that ARC metal coil pack cover, is that the only one you guys carry, dont have HKS or Tomei?

And Rb26 stock fuel rail do you know what size bore injector it is, and its the same as Rb20 (10.5mm)? Think I have Injectors with 11mm bore, so I would need after marker rail.

Sweet thanks. I'll be processing orders tomorrow so I'll check it out.Thinking about getting some Raw Brokerage coil pack covers made for the 20 and 25. 26 guys will get center plate stickers

If sales were funding this build it'll be running a stock KA and 15x6 wheels... no bueno

For the fuel rail, the RB26 factory rail is 10.5mm. After market 11mm injectors will need a 11mm rail such as the Greddy, HKS, Tomei. Which I can get any of those. Let me know.

[Coolwhip]

Hey Matt! Had the coupe as a canidate but knowing me and the direction of the build I know it will go exactly the SAME route as your car. And I would hate for it to be mistaken as the uglier ducklen of the 2.

I need to dig up all the pictures I saved of it being built. Probably on my other hard drive...

[mattblancarte]

Hehe thanks. I'm sure you could out-do my car. You do own Raw-Brokerage after all.

I've actually got all of the pics from the build. Right back to the actual stock car they started with.

[Coolwhip]

Going to be trailering the car down to the shop this weekend hopefully and the party shall begin!

[placham]

Was at HIN Chicago this past Saturday. Seen the drift competition, was in the pit area with some buddies. Now I'm hooked on it like crack. Think I'm going to start looking for a shell and try and build a drift $lut.

Is the car going to be dynoed, engine work, chassis work? Is this vehicle in its final stages, or just starting from scratch on hatch?

P.S. I like the Raw Brokerage Tee, I'm thinking about getting one , "6pistons 2turbos 1reason" just too bad I got 1 turbo, no RB26 no-bueno

Yea, I never got personally hooked but I enjoy it plenty.

Car is starting from scratch since it was originally a daily driver type car.Phase 1 (current) - chassis prep. Going to cage the rear in along with door bars. Get it stripped out for the most part. Engine bay will be cleared from unused junk. Order in the body panels, and prep for paint. Heat protection.

I now have a RB26 Head here for the RB30 Block. Don't know if I will be switching power plants from the built 26, we'll see.

But the whole nine will go afterwards. Engine, Dyno, track. Hopefully, thats the plan

Don't know if you jumped on the new Twitter account... http://twitter.com/rawbrokerage but gonna have a new shirt design up on there soon. But will still have the "1 Reason" shirts available.

By the way, Greddy discontinued those covers shoot me an email on what you want me to do.

[placham]

Are you efing kidding me, no more Greddy clear covers? ?? Well I do need the tensioner spring. Aand RawBrokerage is like the only place that sells them. Let me know so I'll try and put and order somewhere else for the RB26 cover, cause RB25 cover looks like dodo.

What is your email Ricky? I'm too lazy to look

[PyR0NiAk]

made it to the shop... time for battle!

so this is why you're selling the front-end... i'm assuming you're going to do the same to this as you were doing to the vert's front end?

[gmac708]

Welcome back!

[sci2000tech]

I really wanted to see what Rawbrokerage could pull off with the droptop.

Don't worry, I'll still buy all my rb parts from you

[Coolwhip]

I have something in mind that differs from the vert's route but yea, selling the front end as it will all be replaced.

Welcome back!

Thanks Gordon

I know, the vert had every good intention. But hey atleast I can wear a wing now on the hatch

[Coolwhip]

hard at work or hardly working? Might be spending some time on her this weekend.

[l0nestar]

I spy Ricky and a new front-end!

I enjoy the product-placement as well! :-D

[Coolwhip]

slowly finding time to work on her...
