Yea dude, its been shitty here all winter. It is finally melting here. The last 3 days have been decent. There is only a little snowbank left here and there. What a long winter. We had so much snow this winter. It was crazy.
The v710's came already today. I ordered two more. Such a good deal.

Wastegate just showed up. Going to get out ther tonight and route the dump tube and tinker with it.

Nice. Are you making the dump tube yourself?

ekcivicf20b

Yea, I already made it last night Avery.
Tial Q came today.

@AveryVM
I had no room because I chose to go out of the hood with the exhaust so I had to snake the dumptube behind the mani and exit below the turbo. Ill add a couple pics for you to see man.

Very nice build !! Are the v710's on sale somewhere or something?

ekcivicf20b

Yes they are .... I don't have a clue how so cheap but I ordered 2 shipped for $88.66. As soon as they came, I quickly ordered 2 more. $177.32 for 4 of them? Ill take that. Even if they don't last or whatever, Im just running them on the street. Cant even buy one other tire for that price.

I was pretty stoked when I got this on my buddies scale. I was expecting it to be 2,200ish. I guess I should not have been surprised I have taken 280 pounds of metal, sound deadening, and interior pieces out of the car, no exhaust and these wheels are about half the weight of the 16's I had on last year. Got it as close as I could for a 50/50 split side to side and even with me in the car. **** is a pain in the *** though. Im going to do a little more research and take it back over there after I get the cage and the car completely finished. Looking like all in all though Ill still be less then 2,100. When I take it back over Ill have a better understanding of what kind of split and weight's would be ideal. Still thinking about going a little higher on the rear. I really want to 60 foot with this car
Any input would be great.

Intercooler piping showed up today.
I guess its time to get it together. Finally can start tuning a little. Feels like it has been forever since I drove this thing. I hate Michigan.

Try and get 70/30 from the front to the rear.

ekcivicf20b

I crammed the v710's on some Hx wheels I had lol.
Screw it, Im sure Im not the first. Those 225's are pretty damn wide. Section width is 10.2 and tread with is 9.5 ...

ekcivicf20b

Thanks man. Ill have it out in the next week or so. Ill get it back over there and get it a little closer.

brutal_ej2

very inspiring build! good job man!

ekcivicf20b

Thank you sir. It is coming together nicely.

I rushed a little on the Valve cover. Should have been more patient. I used VHT wrinkle spray paint. It looks good. Would really benefit someone with more patience.
Just received the BRMS -10an fittings and Nomex braided hoses. Sexy stuff
Waiting on the catch can and Its pretty much done.

ekcivicf20b

Got it up and running well.

ekcivicf20b

I liked the look of the gold Lenso/exospeeds so I painted the Hx wheels Gold. They don't look too bad when the car is outside but I don't like how narrow they look. When I get the extra money I suppose Ill break down and buy a set of 15's and drag radials. Im definitely going to wear out these Kumho's first. These v710's get really sticky.

Great work sir!!!

ekcivicf20b

Thanks man. Working on it little by little like any project. I just added 5 or so videos in the appropriate timeline if you want to check them out. I just figured out how to do it lol. Duh.

ekcivicf20b

I have a little white stuff building up on top of the valve cover, so I ordered this in case it gets worse. Nothing in the coolant yet though. Always nice to have a backup. Especially where I live. I always have to wait 5 days for things.



Straightline Motorsports Catch Can. Really nice Quality. I like it

guy_from_nerk

Care to share where you found the tires so cheap? I wonder what a 15" tire is going for

ekcivicf20b

It was a deal Tires Easy had on ebay. Im not sure if they had a deal going on or if it was just a mistake but I ended up getting 4 of them. A lot of people have asked me for the link but they either ran out or realized they messed up the pricing and removed it.
