    GTImportFanatic's progress thread

    i've made build threads on here before but it seems they were lost with the last crash we had, so here is just the current state of the car and where its gonna go. For those that don't know me, this car has been everywhere and mainly because of my need to explore i can say its been places where i want it to be and lost it all and now im working my way to being better than ever before in every aspect. With that being said, here are the plans hopefully to be done before the end of march.

    Engine:
    k20a2 block
    ARP headstuds
    RBB head
    K20z1 cams
    RBC
    stock TB
    Spoon Raceheader (DC5R)
    Custom Catback

    Transmission:
    MTEC Race springs(awesome upgrade, shifter feels solid)
    02-04 transmission box
    fg2/fa5 gearset w/ LSD
    CC4 kit
    Clutchmasters 10lb flywheel.

    Suspension:
    Buddy Club N+ coilovers (DC5 spec)
    Ingalls rear camber kit

    Wheels:
    Enkei Evo Stock wheels, 17X8 +38 wrapped with Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec tires. 225/45/17

    Exterior:
    Facelift CTR headlights
    DIY Facelift CTR tail light mod
    Mugen Replica Fiberglass wing
    Volvo 740 Retrofit front Lip

    here is a few pics of the motor and how the car sits right now




























    i will try and keep this thread updated

    I'm only saying this because I wan't your shit to look good. I'm telling you, sell that dead pedal on clubrsx for $30 (someone will buy it right up, trust me.) and go to corsport and get the EP specific one for $35, done. The finished product will look MUCH better.

    Sorry, I know I sound like a care way too much, but I'm OCD and little stuff bothers me...lol.

    haha yeah i know the wing setup is a little over the top, but everyone that rocks a Mugen wing has it in the same position, if you've seen my car before, i hate looking normal, but by no means a ricer lol.. at least in my thought

    thats the idea bro .. thanks for the props... that wing and the wheels are gonna be the most extreme part of the build, everything else should be in line with all the enthusiast's train of thought
