Progress on my car has been slow since my first pics about this time last year. I figure I'd throw these up from SS7 and see if anyone has any more. My camera broke so I have to rely on other people that have pics from SS.

The wheels were borrowed as my Work SP1's didn't arrive from Japan in time. All work was done my myself with the help of friends in my garage. The final coat of paint was layed by a buddy that had access to a booth. It will likely be resprayed since we were entirely happy with the way the pearl layed... but it was painted two days before, so we were a little pressed for time

For those who aren't familiar, this car made 422 RWHP at 1bar on 91 octane and 467RWHP@1.3bar on ~96 octane last year. I have since upgraded ignition and fuel and still need to turn the water injection on. I currently drive the car on teh street at 1.2bar with no problems.

Anybody else have any more pics for me?

its ok.

 

nice and clean

 

very clean work, that engine bay is tighter than a 30 year old nun
the only negative comment i have is purely IMO and it is regarding the front bumper

 

WHAT? hell nice car man... it looks way better than "ok" ... props to all the work you done on it... keep it goin... won any shows or anything?

 

Could you please list the mods?

 

Your car is the **** man. It was great seeing it in person. You have totally busted your *** on that car. The choice in the kit and wheels is awesome. Keep us posted with all the updates.

Be sweet if i get that opportunity to move down to AZ and hang out with the AZ crowd more often

 

Nice car man

 

very clean car just looks like your intercooler piping came off at the intercooler on the drivers side.

 

I can certainly say the same about your car Seth Maybe next year we'll have have to try to park near eachother.

The car has not been to any shows, mostly b/c I haven't really finished it. I did most of the mechanical work last year. We stopped tunning on the dyno when I ran out of fuel and had some small ignition hichups. I drove the car for a while and when questioned about selling my manifold I did, and then set out to design another one. About the same time I began trying to decide what to do with the body and I landed on the above combination.

Mods:

Engine is a large street port with 3mm apex seals. FD rotors and seals , oil mods, 3 window bearings, competition stationary gears. I run my own CAD designed manifold (equal length, madrel bent tubes) with dual Tial 38mm W/G's. The turbo was built with custom selected GT series wheels, but turned about to be essentially a PT67 with a GTQ turbine wheels. The turbin housing is a .84 divided with a 4" DP feeding the back half of an RE Amemiya dual 80mm exhaust.

GReddy IC (although I am working on my own design) and the aquamist 2d water injection setup. Haltech e6k, 720 primaries wiht 1600 secondaries, full braided stainless line. I dynoed with a single supra pump and and currently adding an additional pump to handle fuel needs.

The ignition is the AEM C2DI, bypassed the stock ignitors and using stock coils.

Suspension is Zeal Function V6 coiloever with the 8k, 6k spring rates. Full poly bushings, sustech swaybars, solid end links, competition, motor, tranny and diff mount. Any week now I should ahve a set of 18x10.5 and 18x9 3 piece Work SP1's.


The body is a GP kit with Msports wide fenders. Parts are molded in and together, but it can still come off the car. The rear spoiler is RE Amemiya and a big debate as to who likes it and who doesn't. The headlights, which were also borrowed from Reese Leblanc for SS are East Bear. I intend to get a set for myself, just didn't happen in time.

I think that's about it. I have attached a few pics from a post last year, that show the car then.

It did. We were litterally working on the car until 4:30 AM Friday and then we pushed it on a trailer to tow to SS7 that day with the AZ caravan. Too bad we missed them and chased them the whole way.

So the car at SS was not running (didn't have a down pipe) and needed the last things (like connecting the IC pipes among other things)

 

sounds like a good episode off biker build off or american chopers

 

Chris, It's nice to know another fellow East Bear owner...did you upgrade the lightbulbs? I did so with PIAA X-treme Whites. I wasn't to keen on the ones provided. Anyway, as always, It's a pleasure to see up todate pics.

*edit*

I just acknowledged that the Headlights were borrowed.

 

Damn, your car is is near perfect. I would have kept the stock headlights, and shaved the spoiler, buts thats just me. Other than that, you got one hell of a car.

 

what headlight kit is that? where did you get it?

 

 

dude, that's a freaking clean *** car. how much hard working hours did you invested into it?

 

 

dang I love those seats!
can you tell me what brackets did you use?

 

Looks to be an EastBear kit... Not my cup of tea, but otherewise the car looks very nice! I especially like the front clip and the bronze wheels with the white paint!!! Nice work overall!!

 

I have no idea. Surely more than if I had paid someone to do the work since everything was a learning curve... polishing parts, replating all the nuts and bolts, body work, rewiring the entire car etc. Needless to say I'll never get my money back out of it

I used the Bride rails. Honestly I'm not sure that I really like them (the rails) If I did it again I would likely use the stock sliders and make my own.

 

what fenders are you using? i usually dont like any aftermarket fenders for the FC's but those look really good.

 

As I said in the first thread of the AE... mother of god.... I love the 4"DP.

 

i have never seen such an utter hatred for emissions related parts in my life lol. i was sitting here like.. where are the trailing wires... oh....

clean car man.. looks greaaaaat.

 

Car looked good Chris. It was nice seeing it in person and meeting you. Keep up the good work
