It was about $380 shipped I think. I paid over $200 for a used one from a US car so didnt think it was terrible.

So, complete JDM 94 R134 system installed. Compressor, lines, evaporator, drier, and a brand new condenser. This allowed me to mate up with the HKS V Mount lines. My car was also blowing the a/c fuse before, but that has gone away now. I'm guessing the compressor may have had an issue. A/C works great and im super happy to have it.

Small update. New horn button. I enjoy the red touches to this car. I kinda wish the interior were red, i've always been a fan of red interiors. Came from http://www.revlimiter.net They make custom cluster overlays for the FD too.

Damn I like it!!! I have the same steering wheel. When I went to buy mine it was discontinued. I found one that was black and gray and painted it black. It just seemed like the best steering wheel for the fd. I also needed something that was flat at the bottom. I am 6ft 2inch tall. You have good taste brother

Thank you guys. This one isnt a flat bottom, I think its a momo race wheel. I'm 6ft2, if I didnt have the bride bucket seat sitting on the floor and the quick release + a wheel spacer I wouldn't be very comfortable either. Before the qr I would hit the steering wheel when wearing my work boots.

I also have a replacement bumper, fenders and feed style side skirts coming from shine. Been a few weeks already so hopefully not much longer.

Finally! I must admit, you need them. ;-)
Will the radiator still be hanging out of the bumper like this? ... looks kinda like something out of a futuristic comic!

Yea, same style bumper so it will look the same. I suppose some mesh would help but I don't really mind the look.. Its the function that counts.

bumper and US driver side fender were completely separated at one point (cracked in half), Repaired kinda poorly, and have more cracks currently. Too much time and effort to fix, IMO.

Not a whole lot new. I got the spirit r and titanium keys from garage alpha, great product. Been working a ton and prepping for our wedding but had some time this week to dig into the shine bumper and fenders. Pretty minimal work to get the results shown, still needs some fiddling as you can see. Pretty happy with them.

Was the original aero torn up? Just curious why you got new stuff from Shine. Looks good.

Yea if you look closely at some of the previous pictures you can see lots of cracks and poor previous repairs. The bumper and left fender had been totally broken in half and put back together. They were strong repairs just didnt look good on the outside. Would take a good bit of work to get them repaired to a decent level.

Not much going on with the car lately. Been playing with the tune and changed the plugs to the OE 7's and 9's. I hadnt touched the plugs before and the engine had 9 and 10 range NGK Racing plugs in it. With the 7s in now, was getting some breakup at high rpms. Yesterday I changed the oil and put the 9's back in after cleaning them up. Issue was gone.

Still dealing with boost creep as well. Have a restrictor in the exhaust but with all the flow mods its not enough. May try out the new BNR setup in the future.

Went to my local small/slowish track, no sanctions. Its a fun place to test and drive but the longest straight I saw about 100mph before hitting the brakes. I've been here before and have some other experience in the past. Didnt have huge expectations for the day, and took it kinda easy on the car. Showed up with only 5 cars entered including myself so I basically drove all morning. Car did absolutely awesome. It was around 74 F, after a 5-6 quick laps the coolant would get to 200-205 and IAT's I never saw above 45 C. Tires (indy 500), brakes (ebc green), all felt great. Very satisfying to have no issues after digging through and replacing so much on this car.

Been away for work and dealing with an issue with the car. May have seen my thread in the main forum. Still running well at this point, drove it to work a few times this past week. Finally cleaned it up for the first time since december.
