I'm asked quite often what all I've done to my car, and am making this thread so that I can link to it in my sig. I will post pictures of the car very soon as it's going through it's 1st major aesthetic transformation

I've always been more about performance than looks, so up until now I've focused mainly on power modifications. My first setup stayed N/A and included:

-Simota cold air intake
-J's Racing SPL exhaust manifold
-Hondata intake manifold gasket
-T1R V1 70mm single exhaust and test pipe
-VAFC2
-4.77 gears with Comptech differential
-210 pounds removed

This just wasn't enough go despite investing several thousand dollars. I decided to sell it all and go F.I. I looked for superchargers but decided that the car wouldn't be that much faster unless I got bigger injectors and an EMS, and decided by that point I would have spent enough money for a turbo setup so I did just that. I bought a partial InlinePRO turbo kit from PRS2K, one of the 2JZ swap pioneers. I pieced the rest of the kit together and came across a different setup, so I bought it and sold the Inline kit to local club member ChefJ. My current setup was hboy777's, and is now in the middle of an LS1 swap into the S. Funny how both of my turbo kits came from ridiculously awesome motor swap pioneers Now I have:

These pics are a bit weak, hopefully it'll hold everyone off until I detail the thing and get some really nice shots. I have had the car almost 3 years and have probably only taken 30 total pictures of the car





My first turbo being installed- a Turbonetics one that decided to kill itself. I later installed the Garrett GT30.


My first dyno tuning session! I hit 350 rwhp on 7 psi that day.

Justin, did you ever get your rear bumper fixed after you got rear ended?

 

we need pics

 

 

I just bought a new bumper today I got a new door (mine was keyed badly) and UPS damaged it so I still have to take care of that. I'm getting a Mugen replica hardtop next month so this thing is going to be lookin good really soon

I promise pics are coming fast!
