Still waiting on tune, V-mount shrouds/airfilter box/piping
installed frp
waiting to install
Dual pully/belts for power steering
Batterie Box

 

looks like its coming along good man !

 

Nice progress! I have the actual vented hood, and I kinda wish I had gotten the vent so I could move it a little further forward. It hits my Infini strut bar and doesn't completely cover the alt belt.

I also like how you used the Rotary Works AST w/ your v-mount too, although slightly different from the way it was designed

 

I'm thinking of picking up another hood and moving the vent all the way forward to the intercooler, i will have to shave part of it so it wont hit the strut bar and will finally clear the alt.

 

the good news I am finally moving to big house where I can keep the car garage and can finally work on it without the apartments landlord or neighbors complaining about noises. also waiting for power by max to have coilovers back in stock so i can order my set XD

 

changed my mind since i saw a sweet deal on rims.
picked up some RP01 17x9+22f front and +38 rear with 215/40/17 & 245/40/17

haven't decided what color to powder coat them probably white or gold. And when I finally upgrade my suspension will get some bigger tires 245/45/17 front and 255/45/17 rear.

 

^ Glad to see more progress!

Go white with the rims... It will look awesome on your red car.

 

great car, keep up the progress!

 

looks like its going to be fun next month
-picking up a dual pully from Luck7racing in Duarte this saturday.
-Got the correct power steering pump and cut it to fit the V-mount/ waiting on the steering
cooler to arrive from Jegs.
- Called Nelson @ RRR and he will tune my car in the next two weeks (low on cash until next pay check.
-Got a Quote from my uncle that works in powder coating,-$140 for sandblasting and to powder coat all 4 rims white.

trying to sell my old rims and a few stuff i have laying around to come with more funds since i also want to pick up some coilovers soon.

 

Haven't done **** to the car since last month, I just turn it on for the first time since then.. I keep running into money problems for some reason and I haven't bough anything aside from the dual pully

Here is a Video of Today....

I wish it was tuned already
keep in mind the revving is below 4k rpm

 

Need to update this..

Upgraded a bunch of stuff and got coilovers... pictures coming soon !

 

what kind of coilovers did you end up gettin? and the rims fit pretty nice!

 

Nice build!

 

Nice progress! Can't wait to see the updated pics!

 

ended up with Cusco Street coilovers, they are actually pretty good, will use them for a couple of auto-x sessions and maybe drift.

Thanks.

I need to find my usb cable to transfer them to my PC.

also sent the turbo to get upgraded to T04 and the car is getting drop at Nelson tomorrow morning to install the turbo back and tune finally, looking for at least 320whp @ 14psi.

 

Sick build dude

 

still waiting to get back my wheels from the powder coat place and turbo from the shop. my wallet feels pretty empty lol

 

when it first got the suspension


front had the 17x9 +22 wheels and it was going to hit the fenders(need to roll) so i left them higher



need to wait a few weeks before mounting tires but cant wait for it

currently installing

all day all night

 

It's like a breast implant except with function lol.

 

tuning tomorrow, hopefully motor doesn't blow lol
WISH ME LUCK GUYS !

 

excellent choice on the wheel color red lug nuts would prob. be good combo too,those remind me of my fav wheeels,the 5Zigen FNO1rc's

 

yes sir, got some D1 racing Red lug nuts open, no shop wants to install the tires since they were fresh powder coated so i am waiting until thurday 2 days before sevenstock to slap them on then the magic will happen!

the magic needs to happen tomorrow too!

 

How much they charge you for the powder coating?

 

Why wouldn't shops want to install tires? When the powder coating is out the oven its done solid hard haha. Weird man

 

went to a couple of them, they said they wouldnt responsible all i ask was to be careful but since they were ******** i ended up taking them home.

ended up paying $260 because of the color. if i had gone with flat black or white it was going to be $150, i need to take some pics in the morning but the wheels are brass 30% gloss.

no tune today, spent 2 hours in the muffler shop having them install my 3" setup. when we were unloading the truck from the trailer noone was at the steering wheel and the car moved alittle and fell half way the ramp, it bended my oil cooler a little no leaks thou,

car is drop at nelson going back tomorrow hopefully it gets tune this time
