My list up top is as specific as it gets, literally everything done to the car, and I am going to tuners over pros Because I am going to be running a 5858 turbo and the pro ones require a 62 mm turbo are bigger which is way overkill and way too laggy for what I’m building seeing as how I only am shooting for 500 hp The original goal was to build everything to support way more horsepower when I got my forged block done but now I’m just going to have it at 500 probably for good even with forged block later
No I mean build specs, not a parts list lol. Like are you staying 81mm or going +82mm? Piston ring gaps, piston to wall, bearing clearance etc....
So it’s been a while since I’ve updated, a lot has changed, first off I got another em1, complete running pretty clean Milano red car, it was slammed to the ground on dna coilovers, wheel wells rolled and drove like crap but I got a good deal on it, so it is matching number everything but the gauge cluster was switched for a jdm ctr unit and the car has eBay parts all over it, was tempted to return it to stock and sell it but I have decided to take all of my build parts from the ebp car and put on this shell, and take the stock stuff from this car and put on the ebp shell and sell it, as in the pics from sometime ago the previous owner hacked the blue cars interior to cram speakers all over and I can’t deal with it so I’m moving on
are those Ryver si's (15x8 +20)? If so, what are your tire specs? I have those wheels, but didn't care how the fit on my car (stuck out of the fender well way too much). I'm assuming you probably have 195/50/15 and your fenders have been rolled/pulled? I have 205/50/15 and it looks like dog doo... Love how they look on your red Si though!
Correct on wheel and tires and it’s been rolled, the car came this way and I’m not a fan of it at all, my buddy club wheels will be going on the red car, the 195/50/15 tires have the sidewalls all stretched, not my cup of tea
So the blue car is for the most part ready to go and cleaned up a whole lot, left some of the parts on it that I had planned on keeping but it is what it is, I also raised the car because I didn’t want it bottoming out everywhere I go (WV roads suck) but yeah she is running and driving right, may throw it up for sale on here soon
