I agree 100%

 

Well now its all done But that bov is a real eyesore

 

Holy smokes you should be proud!

Great work. What type of manifold and tb do you have there? Is it custom?

 

Thanks.
Its a Greddy 60mm manifold with a BW S363
Xcessive LIM with a custom uim made by shrispeed, 90mm TB

The best part was hiding the wipermotor

 

UIM is not dirty it's just the picture

Going to delete the AST and put a heat shield on the turbo. I might delete the Cruise control as well, I'm on the fence about it

 

More or less done for now

 

DUDE!!! where did u get those CK innerfenders from?? Or what they are called

 

its been awhile so heres my work in progress
still needs to be cleaned up and ive added water injection since then

 

thanks, but I think our aesthetic preferences are not fully aligned.


I made them

 

The 20b as it sits

 

Yea its strange it does that when I attatch pictures.

 

Thanks!
I love the ssm but i wanted something a tad brighter and more vibrant. Went with a 2013 ford/mazda ingot silver.

 

Here's the underhood shot from the car I built for a friend.

Its a custom V-Mount that I built from a Pettit SMIC. Modified the Koyo radiator to be a dual pass so that both hoses are on the same side.

Not quite as showy as some others but I think it's alright.

 

When I bought it. March 2013


When I revamped it. April 2015


Still on stock twins.
That'll change soon.

 

^ so clean. Where did you relocated your bigger fuse box to and if you had to do it again would you?

Does your catch can hose not get really dirty after driving it?

 

Cleannnn

You see a lot of people go through the whole progression from stock through several stages to a single with big intercooler. I know during these phases everyone thinks they aren't going to end up where they do. But A lot of time and money could be saved by jumping in with both feet from the start.

 

I agree, also people don't know what they want. You try one turbo and don't like it, or ride in a friends car with a better set up. Or take it from a street car to a roadrace car and changes are necessary.
Even people with a lot of money make constant changes, if not even more than people without money. It is likely over time taste and preferences change as well as technology improving and you have to keep up. Bottom line, as long as you have one of these cars you're going to be spending money on maint. or upgrades no matter how nice or perfect your car is. That's why I say I cant afford one of these cars even though I've had many. The list of mods I want to do on one would cost me 100k likely with the car. There are other cheaper cars out there that I am just happy leaving alone from the factory, that are cheaper, like a Viper...but the FD is still my favorite so I keep coming back. The next one I plan on having in 5-10 years will be the last one and will be a keeper and I hope to carry out that dream.

Nice CYM by the way to the member above!

...I'm looking to sell the HKS T04Z turbo, so that engine bay might change over the next months...

 

That looks so clean👍
