NOOOOOOOOOO! Sorry to see that

Ronald_Mcdonald · 05-16-2015, 10:47 PM

Damn, that sucks to see.

How are you doing, physically?

Please tell me you are going to be repairing the Kouki, and making it even more awesome?

rawgarage · 05-17-2015, 05:28 AM

Awwww man wtf. At least you weren't apart of the sowo bullshit....

Salvarath · 05-17-2015, 09:43 AM

I hope theres a redemption build in the future for this! New shell? New core support? Tube front?

***CrimsonRockett*** · 05-17-2015, 03:08 PM

Looks like the core support took most of the damage.

As long as the frame rail and towers are straight, just replace the core support and keep going.

tougetuned · 05-17-2015, 09:34 PM

Yes I will be fixing it. I don't think GTA street class will allow me to tub or tube front so a new support and that portion of the front tub that ripped. She will be back soon, just sets my financials for the build back significantly. But hey I wanted a cool new hood anyways

tougetuned · 05-19-2015, 06:29 PM

The man himself, StrawhatRR and I got started on fixing my fender, it's going to be quite the job.

My Autopower roll bar also came in today, the freight company accidentally sent me somebody else's too. I contacted them so they can get it straightened out with the freight company.

CLM_s13Type-x · 05-20-2015, 08:48 AM

Hec yea ready to see that roll bar in, that is when you get the right one lol. Are you going to bolt it in or weld it?

tougetuned · 06-02-2015, 06:28 PM

Small update. I've been pretty busy with the car, so much to do but I'm making a little progress. Still on the search for some parts to put my front end back together. I still need JDM kouki lights, corner lights, a grill and a hood.

I pulled the tub back out enough to make it look decent, bought a brand new radiator support then ended up finding a whole front cut from a zenki for dirt cheap so I'm probably just going to use the whole thing. Now I'm just waiting for somebody to help me weld it in.

I got my cage powdercoated and installed. I kept full interior of course

tougetuned · 06-28-2015, 07:29 PM

Finally getting around to updating this. Some big things finally arrived and it's starting to come together.

I decided to cut out all of the damaged area on the old radiator support and battery tray area.

Then I decided to pull the motor, clean and paint the entire bay.

Got my paint, it's Ford Tuxedo Black metallic.

And finally, what I've been waiting six months to receive. Car Modify Wonder Glare!

Unfortunately the freight company decided to jab the forks through the box so now I have to deal with getting them to fix this cracked rear bumper.

Dolph_KYAS13 · 06-29-2015, 05:42 AM

Ford Tuxedo Black metallic is the best choice

Good work, I wish i could make progress as fast as you haha.

tougetuned · 06-29-2015, 05:51 AM

It's not easy, I try and work on it a little every day. It's exhausting with this heat and humidity here but I NEED to drive it again lol

PoorMans180SX · 06-29-2015, 06:07 AM

Wonder Glare aero ftw! Car is looking good man.

tougetuned · 06-29-2015, 07:18 AM

Thanks man!

Apex Eight · 06-29-2015, 09:22 AM

Looks beast and that paint is sweet! Really good to see you come back strong after such a big set back. Keep it up man!

Agentnumber2 · 06-29-2015, 12:47 PM

Hell yeah!!! I painted my 13 tuxedo metallic black. It was that or some Cadillac paint

OBEEWON · 06-29-2015, 12:59 PM

nuts good.
aero so good

tougetuned · 06-30-2015, 10:05 AM

Thanks guys! I'm beyond ready to have it finished!

OBEEWON · 06-30-2015, 01:48 PM

Really glad you didn't tube the front.

tougetuned · 06-30-2015, 04:44 PM

Keeping it cool street car style [emoji106]🏻

Ghostdrifter · 07-02-2015, 12:36 AM

How to those headlights look and perform at night compared to the stock projectors?

tougetuned · 07-02-2015, 09:33 AM

I have no idea yet, haven't driven the car. I bought these for temporary use until I can find some JDM lights local.

tougetuned · 07-07-2015, 05:14 PM

So I got my motor back in, running and cleaned up the wiring a little bit. I still have a little bit left to do for my gauges, more trimming on the front bumper, intercooler piping etc. Once I fix my fender I should be able to at least drive it as a full car again for the first time in many months. Then it's time for bodywork and paint!

Rb26kouki · 07-07-2015, 05:27 PM

Subscribed. Glad you kept going with your build.

How the hell did you find a running sr in the junkyard? lol

Car looks solid so far, sub'd.

Man I wish I could tell you lol My good friend went to pick up a KA to swap in an S14 for an acquaintance, when he got to the junkyard it was an SR with all the RHD bits still on it like it had never been touched. So I traded him my KA swap and some cash and the rest is history, best motor I've ever owned.

Thanks guys! I'm kind of up in the air as far as color goes now after seeing the aero on the car. I'm not sure black will do it justice. I will probably prime it flat black and see how I like it and then decide.
