It never looks as good painted as it does in natural unpainted finish.
They're meant to scrape on the ground and flex, which makes paint look like crap.
Car's still sexy AF, tho.

 

Greddy Vmount




Battery relocated to the trunk


Recaros in


Sakebomb HID kit and Greddy Vmount




Greddy Vmount and Pulleys


I put the meisters on the FC for the time being, I think I'm going to keep them on there instead and get something smaller for the FD.

 

very nice

 

the greddy kit looks so damn nice ....

 

Those seats look fantastic, slightly jealous I must admit .

Great choice of parts so far .

 

^ I agree.

Good job OP.

 

This is such a sick *** thread so much win keep it up

 

Took the car to IRP and had them add a new Walbro pump, an HKS twinpower and John Renna tuned it on the powerfc.

Car made great power for stock twins.



366/339 but the best part about a working sequantial system is the almost 300ft of torque at 2700rpm.

The other red line in the 4s is for a set of BNR's they did on another car for comparison

 

Where did you get the Recaro`s? What model head unit is the Alpine?

 

Bought the Recaros from a member here, had them redone by ESH Upholstering who also make the kit to redo the seats.

Alpine CDE-HD149BT

 

Got rid of the ugly chrome front bumper lights


Reamemiya front stabilizer brace



Finally got wheels Advan GT's in 18x9.5 F and 18x10 R 255/35/18 275/35/18 Michelin Pilot Supers Sports



Super now hub covers and swapped to red Advan stickers



All the Shine Auto stuff is mounted, 99 spec carbon fiber lip, Feed style side skirts, Re-amemiya style rear diffuser and Odula rear wing insert

















Currently going through the interior, re-insulating everything, center speaker gauge pod, innovate boost, wideband and coolant gauges, felt tape around all the plastics, goal is to have it solid and rattle free.

 

Porsche is yours too? Love the rims and insert. Good taste, more pics of the rims too

 

Looking good. Do you know when you plan on having everything done in the interior?

I'm looking for ways to have a rattle free interior to and will be interested to see how your adventures goes.

 

Car looks great. Very similar to how mine will likely look.

 

Yes sir, will have a proper photoshoot once I'm done with the interior.

I'll make sure to take pics, I'm finishing up the dynomat stuff now, I did something similar when I went through my vert and the difference in comfort and quiet was big.

Thank you

 

This is one fine build. Keep it up!!!

 

Agreed. If painting the lip there has to be sideskirts to go with it. Otherwise, leave it black and add the feed style sideskirts as he ended up doing.

nice!

 

Center speaker pod


Innovate Boost, Wideband/Ethanol content/fuel pressure/fuel temp and coolant gauges.

 

Great build so far! Your giving me some ideas on what to do with my white FD haha

 

I used plastic weld on anything that was broken or cracked and was salvageable.



Bought some cheap felt tape from Amazon and added it to all the panels I put back.



Replaced all the old crusty clips with new ones.




Added more under carpet insulation under the bins and the floor







Most of my interior rattling came from the middle section where the rear bins are, figured I'd go all out there, biggest pain is that most of the attachment points on my rear bins are broken so figuring now how to redo those.

 

Adding felt tape is smart.

 

Yeah I'm putting felt where ever I can, I did it to an fc years ago and it made a noticeable difference.

Hope to have it finished by the end of the month, progress has been slow as the x5m is being replaced by the new daily and needs to be de-modded and posted for sale.

 

Please post your offset for the Advan GT. I know I asked you on IG but I forgot

 

Yet another nice CW build
