a-spec 500R plus pics.

i feel like i should reintroduce my self . last year june i bought my first FD. soon after i blew the motor and both efini turbo's. i eneded up trading my blown turbo's for some working stock turbo's. i traded my turbo's for some working ones. and i also bought a-specs 500R kit. what i wasnt told about the turbo's is that they wont hold boost so after 10psi it would drop to 5psi then down to 2psi by 6k. this did not make me happy i was having trouble keeping up with dumb slow cars. i almost lost to a volvo once. some pics of the 500R kit and my old set up





well after 4months of driving on my new motor at stock boost mostly on stock twins and my motor went pop! needless to say i wasnt that happy. After beating the living **** out of my blown motor for more then 5months i was surprised i didnt think that it would last as long as it did and it never really smoked. so i had the car shipped back to my hosue in chicago and then sent over to a-spec in schaumberg were they sent me pics of my car nearing Completion. i figured i would share some of the pics. plus i like to ***** out my car.

here are some pics takin by a-spec of my car





anyway enjoy

i talked to a-spec yesterday before i left for sevenstock and it should be done sometime early next week (monday - tuesday). i have to break it in for a 1000miles but i have a huge problem. i break it in because im off at school. the biggest problem is that i need the car here asap because well im tired of drivng the Girlfriends car her car is slow as hell but gets good mileage. im in a bit of a jam the next time i will be home is for Thanks Giving.

Hey man, so how are you going to break it in then prior to the tune? I'm just a little confused being that you're out of state and the cars here in Chicago?
