Pics

Stock back in the day.
A mild spring drop, Mugen grill, Mugen visors, tint.

Some new shoes found there way on
Enkei RPF Type RC in 18x8.5+38

Followed immediately by some coil over's at that time,
Tanabe Sustec pro.
Then some Euro R lips, Fujitsubo r exhaust and yellow foggies.

How the bay looked around then.

Bring in K-Pro ECU

Some interior pics

Drove around for a while like that, maybe a year and a half.
Then i needed new suspension as one was leaking.
In went all the Spoon goodies at that point.

Some current-ish pics of how things changed over the last year.

BOOOOOOSSSSTTTTTT

Then some more wheels, SSR Type C in 17x8+35

And that's how it sit's today, Still have quite a few things to handle with the build over the next few months.

A new clutch, new exhaust, bbk, fit up the IMT1 inlet and TB, K20 oil pump, methanol +10psi boost and a re-tune

Also looking into a set of decent cams, Our K24A3 cams are weaker than your K24A2 cams, Considering Drag cartel DIC's at present.
For now, enjoy!

SPOON. Can't get enough

Build looks great!!
Looking forward to the rest of the build being done and the re tune.

 

[TSimon]

^ as am I, was absolutely gutted when the clutch gave up during initial tuning on the dyno.

Upgrade will be of the twin plate variety

Thanks everyone for the kind words so far, its what keeps me going

I still have those Enkei's. Can't really let myself part with them just yet.
I just throw different wheels on as i please.

Now considering a set of 17x9+35 Desmond regamaster's which a buddy has FS too.

Becoming a wheel whore....

Great build. So you haven't installed the new inlet yet, right? Make sure you let us know how it performs.

 

[Oeth]

:drool1: your suspension...awesome!

No not yet, I ordered one the same day the thread popped up on here about them, for some reason that both Troy and I cannot figure out that first one went missing in USPS somewhere at JFK airport.

Troy shon through like a champ and sent another one out. Fk me their work is insane quality!
Hence the delay there, I think clutch should be done before the inlet though.

:drool1: your suspension...awesome!

Spine jarring. But it will last a longgggg time. Especially when you drive the car 365 days a year.
