too bad you need to raise it
Quote: fudge hella clean :P
Thanks guys! I wish I didn't have to raise it either, but I'm scraping down here with stock bumpers, stock wheels, and I'm barely tucking tire (IF even at all).



Quote: sell me your front bumper!
Considering selling the whole damn car. Buy the full kit and make me happy. JDM rear + lip, side skirts, and front bumper. Everything is legit OEM and Vertex.

Quote: I own some SSR's along with my S1R's .. the SSR's just sit on a shelf waiting for their turn one day.. your car makes me wanna try them out! 18x9 +4 and 18x10 +4 ... ughhh lol.

I love all the little things youve done, foglights, and the quality parts youve chose. All comes together to make a remarkable car. Love it.
Thank you! I don't have a baller budget and had to make do with what I had. I always try to use the best when reasonable though. It's nice for people to notice details! I feel like my car is over looked because it seems like just a kit, wheels, and drop. Sure those are the most noticeable, but there is SO much more work into it.

Those wheels would be tough. I mean, I rubbed with a 215/40/18 on an 18x9 +20. You are looking at having to run a 205 and like -5* of camber up front lol.

Quote: Looks awesome. Surprised there is no boost though
Sorry, no $$$$. I'd rather look good and be slow than ugly and fast. Plus I'm not one to cut corners, so boost would not be a cheap affair. I'd rather do it right from the beginning. Not to mention this is my ONLY car, nor was I in a position financially to buy a beater and get it boosted.

With that said, there is a spare vvti 2jzge with harness in my garage. The plan was to build it with forged internals, built head, ffim, and a relatively small turbo. Also have a 370z 6 speed tranny I was going to make work.

So boost may be coming. But things have slowed down since I had to move.

Quote: As always your car looks good Corey. I'm sure it going to look crazy when you figure things out.
Thanks man!


Kinda contemplating selling the car to be honest... Who knows...

At least I'll post the interior pictures in a minute lol.

Raised before I pulled the kit and wheels off.





Altezza digital cluster




Carbing shift **** + generic extension








Now now, before you talk to much crap on the shifter, try it. Mainly those with the Karl Sport short shifter. It's super short, super stiff, super notchy. Add the extension and it is SO much smoother. Manual thread pitch is 12x1.25 and it was 3" long. $8 on eBay well spent lol. So much easier to find gears/get into gear etc.

May not be the best looking, but if I keep the car I'll come up with something different probably

Thanks man! Your car is looking great too

Not going to post a price here, PM if you are truely interested.

They sell new for $1700+ not including shipping, and you may wait 3 months if it's not in stock in the US. Plus you still need a JDM rear bumper. So keep that in mind

lol I clean my interior too often.

And the camera is decieving, my dash does have some scratches although I try to avoid them as much as possible. But my passenger air bag cover has started the whole "melting dash" BS

Not sure where I'm going with the car right now. Can't decide if I want to keep it or sell it...
