First thing I personally do when I get a car, let alone lower it, is get new RTA bushings. If it's a daily, just get some OE replacements, but clock them so they aren't being stressed and twisted at the lower height.

Looks really clean though. J-Speeds will be cake.

Always nice to see a non-hatch build.

So I got my personal steering wheel in today


My nrg short hub and quick release should be in by the end of the week if not Monday and sorry for the lack of updates. This is kind of a slow build cause I just bought a truck and looking to get my own spot. Pics of the stuff as it arrives

Man I haven't updated this thing in a long time!! Lol but a lot has happened in the last year since I have updated it. The biggest thing was I swapped out my single non v for a b16 with hasport mounts, hasport shift linkage, rywire engine harness and a stage 2 xtd clutch...didn't really do much else since I was spending money on the engine build...all internals are stock and I'm running a jdm p30 Ecu and everything under hood is obd2. I'm going to be uploading pics during the day to show all my progress

So I have kind of been slacking with pics...just been lazy and I don't have a super good dslr camera :/ but here are a few of my coupe taken with my iphone lol

My friends CTR motor and my b16 side by side


Valve cover was painted a nasty rattle can black...done horribly also so I decided to paint my valve cover Pontiac Blue


Finished product


Got a new stage 2 XTD 6 puck clutch, which is awesome once it's broken in properly


Here's the rest of my swap parts...hasport shift linkage, hasport mounts, rywire budget tucked harness, energy suspension shifter bushings and also rywire grounding kit


Random pic of the homies that helped putting my swap in, Chris and jay...getting drunk at Chris brothers house lol


Now time to show the swap going in


And a quick before and after engine shot

Right now the car runs beautifully and pulls nice...I plan on getting a CTR intake cam, send my p30 Ecu to get chipped with a type r basemap and do the valvetrain with pure Supertech valvetrain...oh and get a plm header and yonaka exhaust. I heard a sound clip of one on YouTube and it has that nice deep tone I want.

Picked up a CTR intake cam this past week and hopefully getting it installed on Saturday, if I'm not running around getting stuff for my girls baby shower. Anyone have any thoughts about getting my p30 tuned by phearable.net, my friend said they're good but what do you guys think?
