So after having the car sit since August 2012, I realize I've been dragging this project for far too long. So to get this going, I used some of my moving funds to get the rest of the parts I need instead of picking my paycheck every 2 weeks. I figure since I won't have to buy parts anymore, I can replenish the fund in no-time and focus on saving for the move. The only other thing I need is my passenger side Recaro, which will be covered by my tax return. Orders went in for 2 custom ASP headers, one for my car and my GF's Mugen, DeatschWerks DW65c fuel pump, assorted fittings & hose from Earls, Wavetrac LSD, Synchrotech carbon synchros, Buddy Club camber arms, Energy Suspension bushings for my rear knuckle & trailing arm, F7 LCA's & a whole boatload of OEM parts from Ryan @ AFH. Stay tuned!

Fantastic build man. Just read the whole thread, absolutely love the SHG cars. Was uncertain on the Blue Raspberry Metallic, but it sure looks great! Anxious to see the whole car in that color!

Keep up the hard work dude!

Are you going to modify your camber arms like SHG_EasyE did?
