What's going on HT. I been looking around at a few of the build threads and they been really giving me some inspiration. Since I'm planning to change up the car a little bit I figured I'd document it and keep you guys updated along the way. Comments and critiques welcomed. Updates will be SSSSLLLOOOOWWWW so bare with me.

Major plans are a complete color change and a turbo setup later down the road. I also really want to tighten up alot of the details that I missed the first time around.

Here are a few random pics of the car:





And these ones are a little newer:




On to some of the random parts I picked up this past few weeks.









Some turbo parts:




Not sure if I'm going to use this manifold yet. I got a local guy that does GREAT work so I might buy one of his sidewinders and sell this one.


I'm redoing the interior as well so here's a few parts:
BIG THANKS to Colin and Norm at N1 concepts for the steering wheel and ****!!!!


And these should be here around the first of the month I think. Thanks Nick and Status racing!!!


And lastly just some random *** picks:

Hand polished my ASR. Not perfect but pretty good




I attempted to do a retrofit like four years ago that went horribly wrong. Figered I'd try to turn it into some kind of ram air?:confused:




Got these from 88rotors. They were supposed to have a coating on them to keep them from rusting but guess wht... they did. I sanded them and painted them. They still look horrible.




That's it for now. I should have some updates this week but they'll be few and far between.

 

haha, one of my shots from IA'09.. damn son you changing it up already.. great stack of parts you have already accumulated though.. Any idea on what color you gonna roll with??

 

but hey how did you polish the brace? just sand down with diff grits and used aluminum polish?

 

your ride already looks tite, cant wait to see whats up your sleeves.

 

wow good luck with the build man, i know you dont want to hear or you probably dont care what i think, but i think you are crazy for tearing that thing back down, id sell it and start fresh if you are looking for a change.....just my 2 cents

 

LOL, yeah one of yours. One of my favorites actually. The color I picked has actually been done before but I'm going to add a little twist.

Exactly. Takes time but it's really easy.

Thanks man.

I know I know. If I get a new car I'm going german and we all know how expensive those are. Hence why I kept the hatch. Thanks though.

 

love the hatch.

 

LOV this car. ever since i seen pics from IA. good luck!

 

uh oh, he's at it again. you should just get another eg and start again. your first one is too nice.

 

In for that new new! What are you doing with your old SRR quick releases? PM me if you want to sell them GL homey

 

Looking good. Hey where did you get the bumper/fender post.

 

Appreciate it!!

Thanks. I'll need it considering IA is less then four months away.

That would have been a better idea lol.

Thanks man. Not sure about the quick releases but If I sell I'll give you first dibs.

Got them from a buddy

 

another build good stuff

 

so in 4 dis.

 

Haha when I ordered slotted brembo's from 88rotors they were suppose to come with the rust-proof paint on the hub part....and didn't. I called them to see what the deal is and they said they treat them with a zinc coating instead now. I guess they thought I didn't know almost every kind of brake rotor is covered with this zinc coating nowadays


This car is fire and it's nice to see you're breaking from the norm even more (woodgrain and white seats)

 

What's the offset on those rim?

 

Nice chef, i can't wait to see this thing at Ia again with the changes. Subscribed for future updates.

 

Nice!

 

LOL, I figured I'd start with a new thread since the old ones destroyed.

Yeah **** 88rotors. This was actually my second bad experience with them. Can't believe I went back.

Wait til you see the color combo

+29

Thanks man.

 

this is gonna be good... good luck with the build!

 

i love your car

 

in for the updates.

 

looking good buddy!!

 

NICE!!!!!!!!

 

nice! cant wait to see whats in store for this makeover
