mikey's nfr queen build thread
so i have decided to document my build(s) to share with you folks, like many of you have already graciously shared, as well as inspired others such as me. i currently own two s' and hopefully i don't get my thread all confused but i will try my best, and please bare with me.
**first comes shout outs: biggest help and inspiration is bouford , others include s2kichad, bboy5, integraxtr, cheehee, tofu and the rest of the s2k hawaii family. i'd also like to shout out to the other guys on here with such awesome builds. other big shout out's go to tommy & aaron at gotuning, and tony, dennis, & the evasive gang.
now onto my build(s). please excuse the pictures, as they are not by any means professional in many ways.
December 2009 - picked up my my first s which is currently my garage queen.

At this time, the daily was a 09 civic si with the rear jdm conversion

Second half of 2010 - ASM bug continues, voltex diffuser, rpfs

during that slow time in 2012, some personal problems arose = less work on nfr, however i was able to manage this sooby daily
sooby - xd9's, mxp exhaust, aem, invidia, lightwerkz retrofit
earlier this year, i found a deal i couldn't pass up, sold the wrx, and picked up my second s (hence the daily).
2007 Grand Priz White w/ ~33,200 miles - all stock (mugen ht was being transported by daily, but is used on nfr)
march 2013 - toda racing exhaust (thanks to supastar)
april 2013 - CR lip, and spare gpw bumper (thanks to tofuigloo)
i plan to keep the gpw very conservative. looking into getting tein flexes again as i love the set on my nfr. i will be updating this thread with any changes to either of my s', so please bare with me and i hope not to confuse anyone i will be updating again soon as i have something that i am expecting...
