Finally Zilvia is back, here's a bit of an update.

While it was winter time I started saving to visit my parents' home country of Panama. Was very nice getting some time off.

My car developed an issue with breaking up under boost, tried all kinds of "fixes". The fix ended up being replacing the coils, I ended up swapping over to VQ coils and modding the existing harness. Very easy swap and in the budget

In my last post I mentioned getting a little more power out of the SR, on my casual checks of Facebook I came across a T28.

I also needed a clutch, my friend had a ACT HD clutch for sale.

I acquired some XT7 from the same friend I got the clutch from.
Specs are 17x9 +28 and 18x9.5 +12

Heres the first fit with them on, I barely had to pull the rear which is nice.

I went to an event to hang out for a bit. My car had a few issues which stemmed from having a pre-O2 exhaust leak.

Had a cool blurry picture taken on a cruise after the event

Here I am posted at the best grocery store in the world. There is no argument, so dont even try.

I also have been gaming quite a bit so updated a few peripherals. Razer Huntsman Tourney keyboard and LG G-Pro mouse.

I got started on the turbo swap, got this "silk" manifold off of Facebook as well. It was too close to the brake lines so I stuck with the stock manifold for the meantime. Id like to get a Spectrum equal length and an S15 turbo later on. Also, I know im missing a fitting for the ps line, its in a bin somewhere.

So a funny story, I tried my hardest to be on a budget for this turbo setup. I had the oppurtunity to buy a RS Enthalpy ECU, 740cc injectors, and Z32 Maf. Ended up selling/trading most of it in exchange for 480 S15 injectors and another rs enthalpy ecu and also the tune needed for my setup.

Also, TF Works mentioned having the Project Mu D1 pads in stock. So had to snag some quick

Also, I have started to mock up the SOHC AC setup I got from a fellow S chassis owner.

I also have been keeping my AVS T6 in the garage since I noticed a front wheel with a crack. Will eventually repair and refinish.

And to conclude was getting the car running on the S14 T28, 480cc Injectors, Z32 MAF. Its running pretty good at 12psi and with old plugs and old 93.

I was also getting the car ready to drive an event last second. I ran out of time and was utilizing a stock clutch hoping it would hold up at least one event, it lasted about 2 laps. The car feels great and I dont plan on making many engine changes. This is all I need, and cant wait to drive it more.

Til next time, maybe next update is car finally being one color. Id like to paint it Midnight Purple 1, and get it sitting on the AVS again. Clutch is getting swapped out this weekend, and should have AC running before Summer.
