Default My EK build slow but steady.....

I have been on the site a few years now, I dont post much but thought id start a build thread. The car is running now and is "alright" to some standards but i will be tearing it apart soon and doing everything over. Comments and questions are welcome but keep negative comments out of my thread please. On to the pics.......

Begining......







This was great on gas but had NO POWER so the build began.

Pulled the motor and removed all AC and PS components



Started prepping the bay for paint I originally had no intentions on painting it but after taking the motor out there was no way i was gonna put a fresh turbo GSR in there with the way it looked so..............




Bay all primed and ready for paint























Now on to the engine build! Stock rebuilt GSR with a small turbo set up...

Car looks great, nice job on the VC. Question where did you get your cf spoon spoiler, it looks like it fits pretty nice.

The silver one i drew on and the gold/green one i painted it put it on then peeled it off and sprayed clear with a lil of the transparent green over it. I did like 3 valve covers till i got the one final one to come out how i really wanted.
