Default Janus00 - '00 Ap1 NFR - Updated 4/21/2017

I'm bored at work and I wanted to reserve a spot for my build. My goals with this build are the following:

Clean, tasteful, and functional
Fun, Street-able, fast
Start with supporting mods then go FI.

I picked up my '00 NFR last July with just over 50k on it, currently at 58k as of today. The car was impeccable condition, owned for 10 years by the third owner who kept all maintenance records and did all of the maintenance himself. Only a few minuscule dings in some panels and that's it. The paint was still good but really needed to have the swirls taken out which I had done this past spring with a full detail.

So, we have a build thread in the gallery with no pictures, any mods you do have are not installed but theres a timeline of mods you MIGHT buy.

Can we at least get pictures of the car?

Take some good pictures of the car preferably not with a potato. Swap SoS Turbo Kit out for a PTUNING turbo kit so you can more easily achieve your 450 whp goal.

Sorry guys I'm working on pics. I made this post and then went on vacation. I also would prefer to have pics after I get the wheels and suspension installed which should be in a few weeks.

Ptuning discontinued their turbo kit. I actually talked to one of the guys and they're re-engineering it to eliminate the electrical sump.

I also prefer SOS because if needed I can return the car back to stock. I like full race a lot more to be honest, but there is more modification to be done.

To "possibly" eliminate the electrical pump. Some prefer to have that pump. Would like to add a heat shield for the motor mount and eliminate the need to run a Spal fan.

They know the pump is needed, they're leaning toward a mechanical one instead.

They are using a mechanical one on the BRZ/FR-S kit. I think Freddy and I both know what they are doing at PTUNING.
