you gotta talk to that car and give her a nice clean down.. get intimate.. I think she hates you.. haha i hope your luck begins to change bro.

[Sparx]

So theres been a couple updates with the ride im just in a toss up on whether im going to keep my build thread or not. I find them they're good in the sense that people can see the positives and errors uve had with ur car, but on the flipside it takes the fun out of when you bring her back out in the spring because everyone already knows what to expect. So until make a decision ill just say appearance will be quite a bit different as well as speed :-)

fak i better see a j series in that hatch divahn!

NEVER use ebay manifolds

Shitty for your luck and all, but the only thing anyone should ever use from ebay is an IC core...Even the piping is extremely iffy. My buddy is on a very strict budget and he managed to find a car on here for cheap to get at least decent used parts off of, i would suggest that for any future work you plan on doing.

Anyways, what are the turbo specs if you have them?

Cheers

Like i said before the only real weak point in my setup was that manifold which i knew and since thats out the door all is well. And id have to dig up my receipt but off the top of my head its a t3/t4 to4e, .53 hot side and i beleive .63 or .7 on compressor side cant remember exactly. Pics of new stuff will be up when stuff arrives

[Sparx]

Soooooo got bored, sorry that im not really one to take pics of install processes but i hate working in the cold so when im working on the car to stop and take pics during isnt a priority lol but heres a mini update anyway:
Black Works Racing Coilovers and Beaks Tie Bar


Coilovers tie bar and ASR Reinforcement installed


New and proper wheel gap :-)


Another booty shot


Never been a stock eg tailight fan ive always prefered these


Some toys for bling and reliability




Just waiting on summer...

Dont mind the bumper gap in this pic i have it just resting on the car no bolts on lol

[SeeAreEx]

Sick dude. Big fan of that moroso oil pan! I've been contemplating those same tailights for awhile now... I might stick with my smoked ones just to differ a bit. Car looks good though man, keep us updated!

[Sentry]

Those MAP sensors are super slick. Direct fit into the OEM location. Not ghetto like my 30 dollar motorola 2.5bar.

Oil pan's real nice too. I'd like to do an AN drain for my car and I was looking at those, but if it ain't broke I'm not going to fix it.

[EM1FTW]

Damn dude
the new parts look sick!
cant wait to see this thing in action.

[wes_v]

tailights are sick

[Sparx]

Thanks for all the love guys i kinda lost passion for the build but when i saw EM1FTW and Reggies threads go up i guess it lit the fire back under my ass. I had a set of mystery wheels on the way but in short that turned into a disaster so now i gotta resort to something else that will come relatively quick. Im hoping to have my car ready to be entered into driven so what do you guys think i should go with for wheels?
Rota Circuit 10s(bronze), konig bbomb(opal),Rota D2 (gold), axis og banzai, Rota circuit 8 (black w/ polished lip), axis og oldschool (gold), Rota track r (white w/ polished lip),xxr 501, Rota Jmag (full polish), tenzo dc5 (bronze) and i think that sums up the ones ive been flipping between, suggestions?

[inline6turbo]

IMO considering your recent project on the car, I'd suggest staying somewhere in the Bronze/Gold colour spectrum. Rim style should be up to you, but I've always been a fan of a little dish

Circuits are nice
Rota D2
Track R are nice
Jmag

[dantheman27]

i would have to say:

3. rota track r
2. circuit 10
1. d2 (because i love work meisters )

p.s. way to copy my tailights

[Sparx]

Update y'all , and Dan i copied ur tailights because when i grow up i want to be just like you



Buuuuuut they're for sale so if you're interested you can pm me or text me at 605-6380

[streethondas]

ohh shit looks sick, how much did u get the coilovers for?

[Sparx]

Cant remember i have to dig up my receipt but i think somewhere in the 800 -1000 dollar range

[streethondas]

im picking up the pro-c from mario soon hopefully he doesnt sell them

car looks good now, wht did you do for the engine section?

just noticed we have the same tool box

[Sparx]

I think Vince from the slap chop said it best, Beyond ur gonna love my nuts. Figured i may as well jump on the band wagon
