1996 Type RS Build Thread
I thought I start a build thread on my 1996 JDM Type RS
When I got it from japan the car was pretty stock except , C-West bumper and side skirts , as well as Apexi intakes and a Blitz super access ECU.

Next I fitted a locally made carbon fibre bonnet and my headlights that I imported from japan polished the UIM and Boost pipe and replaced all plastic with hard pipes . Also replaced the old apexi intakes with HKS RS intakes and also fitted a Blitz BOV

Nice build, did you rattle can or powder coat the suspension, looks like it turned out good. I just powder coated my suspension a couple months ago and it's nice when it's all done.

Also start to like the pop ups more , but the lenses are dull and the covers tabs are crappy so gonna go for the static lights for now . Also not crazy about the rims , I want to get TE37 but at the moment it's not a priority , just sprayed them white as the chrome is a bit too bling for my taste

So statics are in gaps are horrible but will have to do for now , waiting for the exchange rate to get better and buy a set of R-Magic headlights

Yes I did change bumpers , I got the CWest bumper fixed in the meanwhile as it was making a gap on the left headlight . I actually want to fit it again

It's been a while , but finally managed to sort out my sequential twins . After various swapped vaccum lines and leaking pressure tank and some faulty solenoids I can finally focus on the important things . Next is a dyno tune ( hopefully Friday) followed by a coilover upgrade . My coilovers where lying still at the post office due to a 4 months long strike . My last one should arrive tomorrow . Here a sneak peak of my Oehlins with HKS tops

Karel from Rotrix will help me tuning the Apexi. It's convenient as he is literally 500 m from my work . Just need to confirm if he got time this Friday after work .

So , picked up some hot water labs bucket copies this morning and did a mock up on the car , looks way better than my old ones . Also mocked up my old c-west bumper to see what it looks like . Still need to cut a bit on the bumper to accommodate the FMIC and ten get everything sprayed , make brackets for the buckets and buy some lights for the buckets

Worked a bit on the bumper fitment today , hope I can finish all the prep work on the bumper and buckets this weekend , so I can get it to the panel beaters for spray on Monday .
