nice build thread man!. im in the same boat as you trying to mod the car but in school at the same time. its a bit hard i must say with the whole money thing. but it'll happen! but shes looking good man. good luck with what ever else you got planned.

 

thanks man, wish fd parts were just not so damn expensive .___. Selling my old wheels tonight for some extra cash, then its finishing up the fuel set up + vmic and then a tune.

Right now working on splitter 2.0 looking 100% more awesome, but still need side skirts.

 

yea same here! but o well gotta pay to play. haha. and good stuff ill be checking in on he thread see whats new with it. maybe start my self a build thread come here soon.

 

Looks great for a college build love the gram lights keep it goin

 

thanks guys, haven't had time to work on it but front splitter 2.0 is looking hottttt

not sure what sides I want to go with, might go with FEED replicas but ideally:






rmagic <3 i love the carbon generators (i guess for lack of better word) attatched to the side skirts. I think it would flow well with what I'm going to have going until...maybe one day get the whole kit haha. minus the hood.

 

nice build....but that Rmagic FD is stunning

 

I KNOWWWW, Its so damn clean....and way out of my budget lololol

 

rice or nice? just vinyl wrap, not sure if it will stay (ignore the 2stroke oil spill and the cracked paint under the wheel..)




polished my new rails


more fuel parts on the way, dyno hopefully sometime next week.

 

I think nice

 

Looks like a part waiting for paint... Rice.

 

spent all night trying to assemble my fuel rail set up. braided line sucks to make when it turns out the "-6an" line you got from your friend isn't actually -6an. What a nightmare this has turned out to be haha....

 

looking pretty good man. great progress.

 

This.

I never understood the attraction of chroming out or in this case carbon wrapping a gas lid. Usually nice accents to a car are done symmetrically and follow body lines.

 

Nah I know exactly what you mean. I just had the vinyl lying around and wasn't sure what to do with it I had a plan but the plan didn't really work (due to vinyl wrapping parts being a totally PITA). Anyways its staying for now til I get realllly reallly tired of it.

Fuel lines are almost done. I ended up getting some nylon braided line at a really good deal. Anyone have experience using nylon braided vs SS braided for fuel line? Looks super fresh though with my black and red -an fittings and polished rails pics coming soon

 

Fuel rails in the car, all the lines run and look pretty hot <3 haha. Primed the system and I'm going to let it sit over night to see if I pull and leaks, so far nothing....

 

Love the car, but im gonna be honest with you... THAT FRONT SPOILER IS UGLY AS HELL

No offense

 

Whelp, pulled a mui_bubbles...

Went to get the car tuned by steve kan today. Turned into a terrible...terrible...terrible day. Primary injectors came unseated and flooded not only the motor...but the whole damn exhaust. Fixed that. Then deflooded the motor. He wasn't sure but said the motor felt like a bearing was spun went back and pulled it again and he seemed confident to move on. Pulled it again and it pushed 17lbs...with the EBC all the way down on boost with a tiny wastegate spring. Tried a few more times, same story. Wastegate operated just fine so the blame was pointing at the EBC solenoid. ended up just routing the wastegate directly because I thought I had a 7lbs spring. Pulled again. 5lbs... No way around it. left my 14lb and 10lb spring at my house...tuned to 5lbs.

Now i have a decent single turbo set up running 5lbs and less HP then stock (by 10whp) raddddddd

also no offense taken, its a temp thing and its protecting the f#@$ out of the bottom of my car. but, no money left for aero...

 

ouch. what about just a flat piece on the bottom?

 

there would be a 4inch gap between the bumper and the splitter.

got a little bored waiting for some parts to come in to fix the fuel leak.



Tore off the fenders, rolled the harness up and cut up the liners since they are rubbing like crazy. Dont worry, everything important is still covered

Other good news, troll'd around on the supra forums trying to figure out what was wrong with my EBC. Turns out there is a "hidden" way of resetting the controller to be used with an external wastegate...so it worked the whole time.

 

Ooooh. Didn't think of that.

 

some from a meet last night.

 

Front lip got wrecked hard. Hit something big on the highway. I almost thought I lost the motor because it was a huge BOOM and then just a bunch of clunking.

Anyways 99Spec front lip is on the way so

 

damnn! looking good!

 

thanks man. Yours is looking hot!

 

As you can see I have a problem (other then worm screw clamps). My rad hose is lower than the rest of the car...by a lot. Anyone have a suggestion of what to do? Just a reminder I'm poor AF so trying to keep it reasonable. Ideally, I should get a vmount rad. Probably going to try and make a skid plate or something of the sort.
