Default twoloose Build Thread

Well I figured I'd make an official build thread for my car so I don't have to keep making new threads. Now obviously alot has already been done by the previous owner puff. I won't be doing any major engine upgrades other than getting it running perfect. Down the road I'm looking at going FFIM, stadalone, new tune and a couple more pounds of boost...So here are some things that have been done since I bought it...

New front rotors and pads
Supra tt wheels w/ continental extreme contact dws 235/45 front & 285/40 rear
New turbo intake coupler
Resealed and tightend fuel feed on the fuel rail
Installed Kenwood Excelon 600w amp & Kicker L5 12 in trunk


Things to come this week:
Install AEM tru boost gauge/controller
Install new oil return line and fittings
Install Oil Catch can setup
Clean up some wiring under the hood
Build custom sealed box for amp and sub
20% tint all around

Things to come over the next few months
TV/DVD/NAV
Carbon Fiber front lip, grille, rear window visor, wing(mabye?)
Dyno Retune
Change exhaust to full 3in
New wheels
I'm sure there will be more...

Some picks to start...

From puff


As it sits now


I'll take some more pics of the updates later...

He's selling them now, they are great wheels...I think I figured out what wheels I'll be picking for the spring. I'm thinking BBS LM's 19x8.5 f 19x10.5 rear, with some custom accents to set them off...I need to figure out what ET's I need to clear the front brakes and have a big lip in the rear...

Congrats on your come up! You got yourself one of my favorite GS's on here I saw your WTB thread on the GS classifieds and saw when puff commented, never thought he was serious about selling.

Update 1/22/12


Just a quick up date..

Got my aem, going in next week


Going to put it here for now, I'll move them around to get the best look right there for now..


Got my oil catch can setup, polished up, going in next week


Built a custom sub box for the trunk. Will be finished up hopefully tomorrow...(custom in the sense of it fits perfect up front with a built in amp rack..) Just have to carpet it and do the final install.


Ordered this, its going to go with other Carbon pieces that will come...I'm going to either take the mesh out or paint it black when it gets here...
