Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
This car was bought from a kid in VA that totally abused it. It was missing the torque mounts. All manner of bolts. Dropped on Ebay coilover sleeves and the stock shocks were blown. He did a piss poor SI front conversion and ker-rappy Electron Blue paint job (was originally green) and didn't even pain the jambs.. Had an Ebay intake and a chrome Type R valve cover on it. Chipped up Kaminari CF hood. At one point He attempted to dye the door panels white but was unsuccessful and did another piss poor job of restoring it. I'm still finding things that need fixing/replacing. But it's my daily driver and it gets me where I need to go.
Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:
Boosted daily driven D16Y8. Greddy 15g turbo @ a mild 10PSI on stock internals, Tuned on Neptune RTP, DSM 450's Walbro 255. Test pipe/cat. Edelbrock Catback Thundermuff Exhaust.
Suspension Modifications:
Progress CS-II (350F/250R). Benen 3-point strut bar. ASR subframe brace to reinforce the subframe damage I didn't see originally. Skunk 2 LCAs (with newer version bushings), AMR front and rear camber kits and 22mm rear swaybar. Password: JDM endlinks. Powerslot drilled/slotted front rotors.
Rear disk setup standing by.
Wheels/Tires Modifications:
205/45 Yokohama S-Drives on 16" Riax (American Racing) Secas. (Retired)18" (Thas rite bishes!!!) Enkei RS9's on Nexen 215/35/18 from the Prelude I sold.
Interior/Exterior Modifications:
Cheap aftermarket racing seats with 4-point harnesses (came with car) but on the lookout for some Recaros. Custom harness bar Removed back seats. Ebay short shifter with NRG shift knob. NRG E-brake handle. NRG removable Steering wheel adapter, lock and wheel.
Soon to be replaced Kaminari carbon fiber hood chipped up at the corners. Hood struts.
Obligatory security measures.
Future Modifications:
Engine build with an Weisco/Manley setup. Planned rear seat delete.
Spare block being slow built for big power.
