redGSRguy's 98 Type-R
Stuck at work on a Holiday so decided to post some up some pics.
Will update it as the work day permits! After updating I realize I suck at documenting and keeping track of things.
More random part pics at http://instagram.com/redgsrguy
Huge fan of the JDM front end so when I needed a new car I picked this one up!
Came with the JDM 16s / Zeal Coilovers / Spoon Cams + Cam Gears
Spring on the clutch gave out in the first week so I replaced that along with the stock radiator.
Went with a Fluidyne / ACT clutch + FW also got a Mugen Intake / Samco Intake Arm / Hytech header / Carsound Cat / 2.5" SMSP exhaust kit
Threw it on the local Dyno. Car felt a lot slower since I came from a GSR w/ 4.785 FD and 200 whp /130 tq on the same dyno
Took the car to Thunderhill for a HPDE
Drove to LA for an Eibach meet
At the time I threw in a Double DIN head unit / CDT Components / JL 300/4 amp / JL 500/1 amp / JL 7" w7. Eventually took all of it out and sold it
Picked up some Kosei K1s but didn't like the silver and sold them. Briefly ran a VIS CF hood but it was not that much lighter than stock so sold the hood too.
Switched to a painted fiberglass hood that was much lighter. Also got some 16" mag blue CE28Ns
Tried some OEM wheels but didn't like how they sat so far into the wheel well.
Tried some Hyper Blue TE37SLs but didn't like the blue on white.
Ended up going with some Red TE37SLs for a while had to buy some stickers since red sticker on red rim is silly.
Threw in some JDM Recaros to match the wheels but they were not as comfortable as the stock seats for me.
Swapped on some Spoon Twin Block calipers to save some weight and for some bling
Picked up some speed bleeders
I eventually swapped in my old GSR motor with the same Mugen Intake / Hytech Header / 2.5" Exhaust. The setup was fun with the 4.785 gearing but after seeing everyone at the drag strip with a K, I started to piece together a motor.
The bushings on the Zeals gave out and I went with Koni Yellows / Ground Control / Skunkworks Springs
I wanted to get the car running first before upgrading. So pieced together a k20 motor
K20z3 block / k20z1 transmission / Quaife LSD / k20a2 head + Supertech Valve train / Blox Type C cams / ATI dampner / RRC manifold / Blox 70mm TB / Karcepts RRC Adapter plate / K-tuned V2 TPS / BWR swap Header
Took it out to the drag strip with the k20 and managed a 12.4 @ 100? WIll need to find the slip to confirm the mph.
Fly-by Video at the drag strip
Made it to the semi-finals and got stomped by a mid 11 second hatch but got to go home with a little bit of cash!
Took the car out to Thunderhill, it was ridiculously hot out there. Picked up a CF scoop to funnel air to the intake.
Vid of one of the sessions out at Thunderhill, the half sized radiator was causing some problems on the hot day.
Picked up a Js racing / First Molding hood to aid with some cooling since I was running a 1/2 size Koyo at the time(Don't recommend this for a tracked car!).
Got this JDM rear hatch for no rear windshield wiper hole but then realized it was too difficult to sell my stock hatch so sold this one.
Had all the parts for electric power steering to go in but after seeing how heavy it was I changed my mind and sold the setup
Did a rainy Thunderhill track even. Got these pics from the old BC Garage guys.
Eventually went bigger w/a k24/k20 setup
k24 block / k20a2 oil pump / 12.5:1 Supertech pistons / Drag Cartel 3.2
The differences between the two motors was night and day!
Picked up a First Molding Lip / Voltex Wing / Spoon Gen 3 mirrors to complete the Carbon Fiber ricer look. Also switched to some higher offset volks since I wanted the wheels to sit in more with wider tires.
Took it to the drag strip and managed a 11.6@116. Great pics by Joe Nguyen
Quick vid of one of the passes
Laguna Prep, right before drilling some holes for hood pins
Went to some Laguna events with Internet Legend @coolhandluke
Some Video of Laguna Seca
Random Pics of Stuff I bought Kingpin Compliance Bearings / Moroso Oil Pan for the k20
Got new Intake setup and tried to do a comprehensive test but failed after realizing how much work it is to swap the spacer on the Skunk2 manifolds.
Swapped the Konis for MCS got a Carbing 3 pt in front and Mugen bar in the rear. P1 splitter for the track.
Stopped by the local event ATS Funny Night since my friend's shop in in the same plaza. Forgot who took this picture but I send them my thanks.

Heard all the EVO guys use these for drag racing so I wanted to try it out too

Lip before I smashed it all over the roads.
Stopping by at Synergy Auto Works in San Jose to see what the guys were up too
Getting to the grid super late for the session with Nathan (krazychowfun)
Hanging out watching the Miami Heat lose in the finals...I think

Some pics from my old phone
Picture of the Spoon Calipers
Back when I tried some Bronze TE37s and disliked them.
Another picture from drag racing pulled from Instagram
My friends and I trying to collect all the 15x8 +35 offset TE37s, haha

Re: redGSRguy's 98 Type-R
Been too lazy to do anything on the car.
Been too cold for me to be in the garage lately so the to do pile just grows.
Putting together some spares to use with a normal clutch/fw.
Twin disk noise has officially got on my nerves, lol. Also will quiet down everything for some tuning. Tempted to try and run low 11s this year but don't want to cage my daily driver.
Been waiting on some parts but finally almost ready for the bigger motor to go in.
Just need the headgasket and will be good to go. Also need to pick up an OEM TPS. The K-tuned Billet one did not last too many miles.
Got the head back with Portflow w/some Supertech goodies
Swooped on friend's spare block w/Wiseco pistons + Eagle rods
Also couldn't resist picking up some shiny Tractuff stuff. My K-tuned one broke 2x on the other motor so I will try this one on the new one.

Loving the motorsport theme here, car sounds great tearing up the pavement! Did you get a little nervous when that lambo went off track and then almost into your passenger side?

Added some unce unce unce.
Picked up:
Pioneer DEH-X9600BHS
JL Audio XD500/3v2
JL Audio C2-650x
JL Audio 12w6v2
@mmarsey got the harness ready for me and I ran some new speaker wire and now the car is ~100 pounds heavier haha. The sub doesn't sit level in the trunk so will try and swap it out next weekend.

Re: redGSRguy's 98 Type-R
Drag racing is done on MT or MH slicks.
Been super busy with work for a lot of the year and haven't had too much time to work on the car.
Eibach Honda Meet - Lake Elisinore
05/15/16
Went down to the Eibach meet with @mmarsey. Almost fell asleep driving back!
Picture from 6two1
Parked for the night while we went out or some Korean BBQ!
Raceworz 3 - Sacramento
08/06/16
Had the K20 in the car and brought it out to Sacramento Raceway. Came home with a new PB (12.4@109) on the small motor and a 2nd place finish in Pro All Motor.
Eibach - Corona
09/10/16
Made it down to Eibach for a summer meet since I was down in the LA area.
Great shot from Copaze
CMI Fall Fling - Sacramento
10/01/16
Found some time to finish up the k24/k20 motor with some new pistons, Skunk2 Ultra 4s and threw on a Skunk2 Ultra Manifold w/2L spacer. With the help of my buddy Lawrence we put in a 5-point cage that is removable. Safety first!
Finished the day before did a quick partial throttle tune on the dyno and decided to finish the tune at the track. The k20 swap header seems to be the bottleneck at the moment.
Also swapped to a Tractuff blockoff since I had some bad experiences with the Ktuned.
Had to run the car in the turbo class since there is no all motor class. They did say it will be coming back next year!
Managed a new best of 11.16@122 and brought home another 2nd place trophy! Hopefully will have some time to get a new header and get back out there.

Re: redGSRguy's 98 Type-R
Been lollygagging with the car but finally got some stuff done.
After last time out found that the motor mount bent along with the subframe. Innovative sent me a reinforced mount and I was able to get it straightened. While waiting decided to clean up some of the wiring from the JDM front install.
Got everything back in and finally swapped the k20 header off the car for a bigger Myers Competition Manifold. Picked up 15+ across the board since the motor was getting choked before.
Been super lucky to have been able to store the car at my friend's (thanks Lawrence and Mike!) shop while waiting on parts. Once it stops raining hope to get back on the track!

Re: redGSRguy's 98 Type-R
Bummer how most of my links are broken, maybe one day I will swap them over to Flickr.
Roped my friends into helping me with the car. Huge thanks to Law/Tuk who worked on it the last night while I went out drinking, haha. Thanks @dsdonejimmy for the picture.
Fixed the clutch, retuned on M5 and hit CMI Winter Warmup!
Only managed to get 4 passes in and ran into some problems on 2 of the passes. Wish we had started a little earlier but was overall happy with what it put down.
New best of 10.68@128
