Default Starting my next build, is300

Hi, I am Andrew. i am 21, still in school. I am a diy mechanic, swapping and building everything mostly myself, include tuning.
Not much to other thing to say about my self. This is my is300.

When i first got it.



Then, came suspension and more. Coilovers, toe arm, traction arm, etc.




While doing all that collected turbo parts.



Had the turbo mocked up on my spare motor.





My turbo z31.
Running a 60-1 setup with nitrous. Homemade manifold and etc. Too much to list.

Personally I would invest the $750 - $800 for a name brand turbo, nonetheless, nice collection of parts.

Sorry, from the side pic mounted on the manifold it looked like a cheap ebay turbo. The housings castings looked weird.

I don't think andrew checks up on this tread anymore, but it's come a long way from how it was in those pictures.

Last I heard from him he sold his turbo parts to piece together a custom air suspension setup. He also just sold his Work VS-KF and just picked up a set of Work Rezaxs. I think he's also deciding between a Vertex kit, or a BN Sport kit. Haven't talked to him in a while but his car is coming along nicely.

Here's some updated pictures, I hope he doesn't mind if I post these for him
