looks good. how do you like the coil overs?
I would like to know where did you find that re wing as I have something in mind that I wanna do with one?

 

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond,
Coilovers are sweet, not too stiff or soft. Perfect for daily.
And I found the RE Wing for sale damaged and repaired it. They pop up every once in a while on eBay.
And I believe someone does replica's of them too.

 

Buying a set of those door guards soon. How long did it take for them to arrive?

 

About a week and a half if I remember correctly.

 

Spent about an hour cleaning up my intercooler today, beyond happy with the outcome, now the rest of my engine bay needs to look like this

Before-


After-


I do want to re-paint the core black and clean it up a bit, but for now I'm pretty happy with this.

 

New photos-

 

Your car looks phenomenal buddy! I really like everything you've done to it so far. It's been awesome seeing it transform from the OP. Keep it up!

 

love this car

 

Perfect looking street car

 

Thank you guys, I appreciate the feedback

I finally upgraded from those awful nankangs to some Falken RT-615's.
Need to get the rears next.

 

Had a fun photoshoot last night.

 

looks so good, makes me want to get to the point where i can make mine a beauty.

 

i want your car.. lol or mimic it atleast..

 

Car looks amazing in those pictures mate. How do you like the new Falkens? Encountered heavy rain in them at all? After hydroplaning in my Federals whilst the ground was only moist I've been wanting to buy new tires.

 

i spun out in my GXL one morning because the rear tires were bald and it was just a cold morning.. scared me into wanting to buy new tires.

 

Lol thank you guys

I drove in the rain on the falkens for the first time last night... Had some unexpected understeer happen and wasn't driving hard. :/

As for an update on my car, I soon will be re-doing most of my front end stuff. I have all new Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings/ boots.
Also bought 3.25 ARP extended studs for the front.

 

Word to the wise, install grease fittings into the control arms so that you can constantly grease those bushings. If you don't, the poly bushings will eat themselves and you'll have a really sloppy front end. I had it happen to my autocross car after about 4 years of street driving and autocross

 

Clean ride man. The Type II and roof lip look really good together, nice rims too! Good luck with it, will be keeping an eye.

 

@Rotorhead Izzy - Thank you for the advice, I'll make sure to do that.

@jimmy2222 - Thank you!

I changed out my ugly stock reverse lights for some bright white LED bulbs. Looks 100x better!

 

And another update:

ARP 3.25" extended studs for the front + 10mm spacers -



And had this HKS filter laying around so I bought a new (green) filter for it and threw it on.

 

Clean, i'm loving the car. what are your plans for it?

 

@gist864 - Sorry for such a late reply, but I plan on knocking out little problems here and there, then getting into the engine to start building it. Bigger turbo, exhaust, injectors, etc.

I was lucky to find a really awesome deal from a good friend on a carbon fiber sunroof! No more rust!!

 

looking even better now, keep it coming!

 

Few of the many photos took a few days ago.

 

Ahh beautiful build brother. I've been following your build on IG. Can't wait to get mine back up and running ):
