(Electronics are all over the place, spliced wires and crap... either gonna pull em and redo the right way or atleast find out what half of it is... also i have 3 switches hooked up to VAFC, and no clue what they do... all i know is 3rd one cuts off all power to the car...)

New brakes, and rotors
-9/7/2010
Pulled IAC Valve, Cleaned, charged batter...
current issues: Stalls when rpms drop to idle, battery is being drained...
New IAC? alternator checks out, possible wiring issue? BOV broken aswell.

 

Mod list?

 

what it has or what i plan to do?

 

Long pause currently... removed lip to find that i am missing almost 12 inches of my front bumper, and its almost destroyed on the inside, same with the rear bumper... rigged together and painted over poorly, both will have to be replaced... anyone know a good body kit that fits with an intercooler? was thinking of getting something with a little down force on the front... maybe so canards... ideas?

also pipes are rusted inside the intercooler (lol...) not sure how it happens but grats to previous owner, so im going to have to toss most everything

 

lol grats for buying it

 

eh for 4k i dont rly care, was planning on swapping most of it out anyway, anyone know if intercooler will fit with bomex bodykit?

A stage 2 clutch isn't going to hold 450whp

 

E FIGHT E FIGHT E FIGHT,..... dude don't get a body kit honestly, NICE BEFORE RICE

 

body kit looks like ****, gl with build.

 

If you paid 4k just to take everything out then your not thinking right. You would have been better off buying a shell and fresh JDM SiR-G (aka JDM Gs-R) and going turbo.

Where do you work and do you live on your own? Just consider other people's situations. I don't know you but 4k for a car and then throw it all out is a waste. That is evident.

 

That is not a waste AT ALL to get the car where he wants it. I would rather pay 4k and get the car, spend the extra money so I actually know what is done to the car and how it was done. The parts he pulls off can easily be sold on ebay or craigslist. Why not contribute to the thread instead of trying to bring the guy down.

 

I am new to the site and I have a GSR also. Great stuff you have on yiour car.

 

well, havent done much, i got engine disassembled and looked over a little, the manifold and down pipe are trash, along with the exhaust and thanks lsd96teg. I repainted parts of it where it was painted like a 4 year old with color markers. i get to order a whole new seatbelt assembly for driver side, and apparently i have to have a hole helicoiled because its stripped out and was jb welded in place... sigh... awesome job

body kit + 250 hp

 

Actually the op failed to mention he traded an 03 celica GTS...+$4000 cash for some hackjob teg

 

oh god, that had to hurt. not the worst i've seen though. i know one kid who paid 7500 for a turbo'd DA, no kidding. average condition car with a boosted b18b

 

Ha, you know da mods be deleting what you said... they deleted me and devin...

 

This kid made this thread just to start drama don't feed into the bs.
He's gonna ruin that car even more just let him

 

deleted me too

 

have you decided on axles? Cuz 450hp on stock axles will rip them apart if you launch it and you know not everything is going to be from a roll... especially if you take it to the track...

 

Yea, i know about the axles man, i was looking at the innovative racing axle set, but im not entirely sold atm. im still trying to figure out the wiring issue, and haven't had alot of free time. i may end up putting it on hold for college till christmas break or something because i just dont have the free time
