How it all started…
Cool Ranch started out as a busted up old 3 speed Automatic with “occassional” Overdrive? Lol, Yes, the auto trans was severly damaged. I would limp it everywhere I went until it was finally time to do a Manual Swap, which took place December of 2022 to January of 2023.
I managed to get all the manual parts from a friend who was parting his rx7.
Took the trans to get rebuilt, which was a fail… I blew it up the second I tried drifting it. Ugh…
Apart from all the manual supplied parts, I had gone and swapped out: Coolant Hoses, Ebay Headlights, Ebay Coil over Suspension, Racing Beat Exhaust, Failed attempt at a sunroof delete job, new alternator dual pulley with accessories, and a ton of LRB Speed parts 😉
How it’s going… 11/23
So much has changed since the beginning of this build. 🙂
Cool Ranch is looking better and better with each little tweek here and there.
She is now semi ready for drifting and I will be attending 2 drifting events before the year is over.
Since the Manual swap, we have done: Tii Turbo Trans (broke the first manual, whoops), Avid 1 aftermarket wheels and tire package from Fitment Industries, Dual Caliper Setup with independent hydro brake system, NO ANGLE kit as of yet, Secondary hood and transparent hood vent, K&N Cold air Intake, Front Lip/Side skirts kit, Some added stickers for HP gains, Modified Straight pipe Racing Beat exhaust, Secondary battery setup, Vacuum Rats nets delete (ETC), New Aluminum Radiator, New electric fan and harness, New oem steering pump, Flash to Pass light cover delete, Rebuilt all oem calipers and bled brake system with new Dot4 fluid, Replaced rear quarter panels and bulkhead area with aluminum plates from LRB Speed (Manga Bombed them from Initial D), and Modified to fit a Rear Diffuser.
