Here is the car as it stands today.

Mr_Plenty

good luck!

SHG_James

A few weeks ago, my 2nd TPS decided to die on me after only 3 months of use. I wasn't surprised since OEM based TPS break frequently due to vibrations from aftermarket motor mounts. I decided to go with a K-Tuned billet TPS after reading reviews on how it stood up to vibrations during track days. Here's a couple of pictures for you guys.

Good mods so far, everything I would've done. How do you like the omni CMC?

SHG_James

The Omni CMC is awesome, just makes the pedal a bit stiffer. It got rid of my high rpm, 2nd gear grind that I had before I rebuilt my trans. At least now I know my clutch is fully disengaged before I make my shifts (due to the shorter pedal stroke).

As for my current mods, I will be changing my coilovers in the near future & header once I get my cams in.

Thanks for the info, I have been interested in them for a while

SHG_James

A few updates for you guys...

There's a good chance I will be painting my car Apex Blue Pearl off a 08 S2000 CR in 2012. PPG Deltron DBC basecoat & DCU 2021 clear with their respective reducer, hardener & activator came out to $1037 from my PPG jobber.

I sold my TEIN FLEX coilovers last week. Will be placing an order with AMR Engineering for a custom set of coilovers sometime next week.

I received my Recaro Jersey door panel inserts & armrest cover from DCA Garage last week.



Lastly but not least, I bought a 60gal Craftsman Professional compressor yesterday. Should be coming in the week of Dec 20th (hopefully earlier). It's of the few upgrades I will be making to my garage before painting my car.

SHG_James

Got a bunch of fabrication parts today...

Vibrant 3" T6061 aluminum 45* mandrel bend & K&N filter - Since my velocity stack hits my fenderliner, I will use the bend & have it cut and TIG'ed onto the stack for better clearance. The filter has a 6" inlet & will be used on the stack when driving on the street.



Vibrant v-bands & turboflex coupler - This will be used when I redo my exhaust. I'm currently running the RSX piping kit from K-Teller (should have ordered the EM2 specific kit) but the midpipe didn't fit too well (axleback area fits good). Gonna order a few bends from Vibrant & have the midpipe redone.



Exhaust currently

sleeper, sick build bro,.

SHG_James

Thanks guys!

SHG_James

The compressor I bought on Black Friday finally came in today. After I plumb the copper lines and install my dryer & regulator, I will be set!

SHG_James

Small update for you guys. Just got my velocity stack setup back from my fab guy. Clears the fenderliner much better now.



...with the filter attached.

SHG_James

Been doing a fair amount of research in the past few weeks and I'm officially pulling the trigger on my Rotrex setup. I hope to gather all the parts needed by fall. I will be using the largest Rotrex available, the C38-91 which will be purchased from Kraftwerks. The mounting bracket, radiator & intercooler will be purchased from TTS Performance. A checklist has been made in the first post to keep track of everything. The reason I chose the TTS mounting bracket over the Kraftwerks is because they incorporate a idler pulley that adds over 50 degrees of additional belt wrap to both the supercharger and crank pulleys. Without this additional wrap, belt slip and erratic boost will be an issue with the larger superchargers. I will let pictures of their radiator & intercooler speak for themselves.

The last of the fab parts to fix my exhaust came in today. Vibrant 3" T304 SS straight, 45*, 60* and 90* mandrel bends.
