Continuing the Long Haul

While GL spent time building the motor I was still acquiring parts both atheistic and functional.


 Pan Speed fender flares, I may just opt for fiber fenders and be done with it.
But they were being sold for a good price so I picked them up.

 
 When I bought the car is was missing lugs here and there and most were mismatched so yeah...


 And a very inexpensive GReddy intercooler knock off kit. Clean cheap and functional. 
Works for me!


The R1 wing was also sold to me for a price I couldn't refuse. My FD is wingless and I kind of like it that way however over time I feel it will need some kind of down force at the tail and I really don't like big ass wings so yeah stock is a better fit for me I think. With that said I really don't feel the R1 is going to do the job so I'm now in the market for an R2 wing of the later model jdm FD's.

While at GL they installed my Apex-i N1 racing exhaust which was shipped here from Japan so its the real deal. Honestly I'm a little nervous this may be too much for me lol.

It's huge.

So the for the most part this is what GL gave me.


I like it!


a lot!

I even took my buddies Feed hood and put in on my car hahahaha!

 At this point I need some body work and paint....


Oh wait not too far little Timmy don't forget you still need to finish that manual swap!

Damn it! I have to tow it back home!

Turns out getting this all to work properly means that I need to either switch my engine harness to automatic or literally rip out the dash and front end crap, remove all the front harnesses and convert to manual ones. Well shit that's an easy choice.






Idiot.

So this is where I'm at I've got the dash harness on hand still looking for the front harness.


In the words of Dori "just keep swimming"

see you next time kids!
