My SE is almost done

Trying to restore it and upgrade alot of items.
Here are some pictures,

Here is some info
Tokico Blues
Eibach Springs
RB front / rear sway bars
New Lower control arms
New inner / out tir rod ends
New bushings
13B rebuilt to with s4 rotors and streeported housings
S4 intake system
710 cc injectors
Motor painted Gunmetal gray and red
Radiator cleaned and dipped
Inside refreshed with dye
Windows tinted
15" panasports w/215 rubber
Full RB streetport exhaust


Car has not been dynoed yet. I would like to see what it is putting down.
I do have an extra ECU that I am planning on having remaped if I can work out a deal with them. They can not tell me the hp gain so I will give them the before and after Dyno sheets if they work a deal on the price.
I will keep ya posted on that.

it has a few spots on the body that I don't like. I wet sanded it and then buffed it out and it looks a little better.
I plan on fixing the small rust spots and want to have it repainted.

Thanks for all the comments. It has been a long project. Once done I can move onto the TII

The outside edges of those front tires will be ripped to shreds. Don't ask how I know.

No stock GSL-SE ECU. Stock GSL-SE Air flow meter also.
Motor is S4 streetported with GSL-SE front cover and oil pan.
My injectors were rebuilt (RC Eng.) and are folwing 710cc.
The lightweight flywheel from RB with the s4 counterweight to match the rotors.
Would love to get rid of the Air flow meter and then use a fuel computer to add two 550's for my secondaries.

That picture was when the old springs and tokico adjustables were on it.
It now has freash eibach springs and Tokico blues on it. Believe it or not the car raised up. I will try to get a newer pic.
I might rip off the front rubber and run 205's up there. I will have to see how it runs.

Have you felt any benefits to using the S4 intake?

That's one clean SE! Your face must cramp from smiling ear to ear when you drive it. I hope mine looks that nice when I'm through with it.

Well, I have several things that make the car different. If I only did the s4 intake I would be able to tell you.

But with the s4 housings streetported, s4 rotors, lightweight flywheel, cone filter, injectors larger from 680 to 710, centerforce clutch, etc. it is hard to say only the s4 intake but I do seem to have more power now than I did.

The s5 intake and tb would probally be better if you can get one of those.

Me too. But mine's not as nice as yours yet! Still need major body work. Rust is a bummer.
