Default SChema's Build Thread

Thought I'd start a build thread of my own to consolidate all the minor updates I have floating around. It's mainly going to cover all the small things I've done in the past year or so. Until the drive-train work begins, there's not really going to be any detailed shots.

WARNING: it's going to be picture heavy.

I got lucky and came across a local SC that I was happy with. Got several things planned down the road; we'll see how things go, hopefully well!

It's been a bit over a year since I purchased the car. A couple of things have changed, upgraded suspension, brakes and changed out the wheels. It will probably sit like this for a while.

I'm glad to see you finally made a build thread. Your car looks so different from when I first saw it a year ago.

Are you still going with the HKS Ti exhaust?

Rim choice getting better and better. I like the fog projectors, would be even better with clear lenses on top. Nice tires as well, maybe the next phase will be a 3 rotor swap then you can change your name back?
