Here is an update of what I have so far....

Apexi Turbo Timer, Canadian Running Lights from PDM, TEIN S-Tech's, JDM 180sx 1/2 and 1/2 turn signals, Stock Alloys, and a HKS SSQV are all on the way. Car seems to be coming together pretty well. I can't wait to get it on the road! Oh, and Nothing about the Flat black.... I don't think it's "Cool", It's about to be painted!

I know that you guys love the "Kouki" lights!!!!!

Apexi SAFC-II, Oil Pressure on the left, Pyro EGT on the right. Gauges are Auto Meter Ultra-Lites.

NO TWEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apexi Stainless N1, you should of seen the box.... Damn thing was 8 feet long!

XTD Engineering Stage 3, Koyo Throw Out Bearing. I guess we'll see if this company is worth a crap.

SS Autochrome Top Mount Mani

Turbonetics Waste Gate

Garrett T3/T4

What do you think guys?

bobafett · 01-03-2005, 01:09 PM

wooo hooo! makes me with i had my tax return so i could start buying parts!

240silvia · 01-03-2005, 01:16 PM

I'll post some more pics this week, possibly Friday. My damn lights are stuck in Customs... Maybe they think I'm trying to sneak in some illegal rice from Japan. Anyway, the springs, wheels, turbo timer, and running lights will be here this week. I'll be sure to keep everyone updated.

240silvia · 01-03-2005, 02:34 PM

FUCKING WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!

MakotoS13 · 01-03-2005, 02:45 PM

Ghettokracker71 · 01-03-2005, 03:26 PM

T3/T4 ? Damn....What trim? What kinda boost you looking to run ?

Looking good,I'm jealous in all reality.

Uniac · 01-03-2005, 04:30 PM

koyo not good? or the clutch?

i ordered a factory throw out bearing and it is a koyo...go figure

silviasichigo · 01-03-2005, 06:49 PM

Man that will be nice when it is done. Hope things keep flowing for you.

mellojoe · 01-03-2005, 07:11 PM

Awesome. I've heard too many horror stories about the SSAutoChrome manifold, though. I'd keep a close eye on it. A lot of people have had them crack.

What exhaust a/r are you running? What trim?

Thats going to be an awesome setup. Keep us updated!

240silvia · 01-03-2005, 07:24 PM

I've heard the samw stories about the Autochrome, but, the stories are from it's old design. I have the newer one. My friend used it for about 100 miles at 15psi. So I'm guessing that it will be ok.

Also, I was saying that I'm hoping that clutch will be ok, I'll take a picture of the 6 puck later tonight and post it up. Thanks for the good responses.

240silvia · 01-04-2005, 11:27 PM

Apexi turbo timer got here today. Everything seems to be coming together very well.

nistech · 01-06-2005, 08:16 AM

wow really nice job on the interior.

240silvia · 01-06-2005, 10:28 PM

Thanks man, I like the tweed, but, without it looks sooooo much better!

240silvia · 01-16-2005, 12:22 PM

Candian lights with yellow PIAA bulbs, Alloys, and the TEIN's are all installed....

We started the install yesterday.... everything was going pretty good. Got the motor out to find that my driver motor mount is busted!

So I have to get another one of those. I'm taking pictures and will post when done, however, looks like it's going to be another week!

nismo2491 · 01-16-2005, 12:37 PM

nice but a couple things I'd be worried about is the deltagate (from experience) they boost creep pretty easily, and the ssautochrome, no experience with that just read reviews and stuff.
good luck though, and yeah like everybody else said, what's the specs on the turbo?
also what you doing with you bottom end?
KEvin

240silvia · 01-16-2005, 12:47 PM

Well I got the wastegate with the mani.... soon I'm going to get a Tial 35mm, so the Delta is just "for now" maybe 2 weeks or so. With the Autochrome... they have 2 series of the mani, The first Gen has issues with cracking, I have the 2nd Gen... I haven't heard of any problems with the 2nd. I'll get the specs on the turbo tomorrow. Bottom end is going to be left stock. I might build it later.... but, just not sure yet.

nismo2491 · 01-16-2005, 01:10 PM

what are the specs on the actual turbo?

240silvia · 01-16-2005, 01:25 PM

The turbo is in the shed and it's 20 here and raining... I'll post up the stats on it tomorrow. I'll just look on the turbo and see what it says.

**mrmephistopheles** · 01-16-2005, 04:47 PM

I'm still annoyed you killed your Aztec Red for ugly flat black...

*sigh*

**ThatGuy** · 01-16-2005, 04:54 PM

I'm still annoyed his Signature says Moderation.

*sigh*

240silvia · 01-16-2005, 11:38 PM

If the car would of been red, it would of stayed red Kevo. It was a fender that I got that was red, the whole car was originally white, however, it was flat black when I got it.

Now, Mr. J-action-ville, lol, what is this we always say.... well, you "Mod's "say...

If you don't have anything to add to the post, don't say it.....

As for the sig, that's just laziness...

jjwilks240 · 01-17-2005, 12:00 AM

any engine bay shots?

what size/ brand ic is that?

why do lots of kat people paint their cars flat black?

Well then I won't say anything else. I will however help you with your little laziness problem. You're Welcome. :hammer:

240silvia · 01-17-2005, 04:23 PM

I have some engine shots that I will post.... but not until the swap is done. There are a BUNCH of pictures.... so I want to do them all at one time. Also, the car was flat black when I got it.

As for the signature.... you could of just deleted it, no need to exercise your "Mod" Privilege any more than necessary.

**ThatGuy** · 01-17-2005, 04:25 PM

You could just delete it as well. Gee, guess I'm just too lazy.

240silvia · 01-17-2005, 07:13 PM

ok, let's stop being in 7th grade again.... this thread is about my car, not your quest on some way to belittle me.

**ThatGuy** · 01-17-2005, 07:22 PM

I wasn't trying to belittle. If I was, I would have made comments about your personal hygeine, or social skills.

I was merely getting a point across. Thank you for altering your signature.

Good Luck with your car.

p.s. This thread was dead anyway.
