HUGE improvement over where you started man
Ya that would look great!I got another car for my daily so i think im gonna put these wheels on that one and get a different set for the g.Will get to the new/older car in a few lol.
Your right i heard alot of stories about the spacers aswell.
Ive been looking at acouple of wheels to get and im stuck lol...I really like the newer concaved Rota Grids but alot of cars have these such as evos etc.
These are the ones ive been looking at aswell.maybe 18X9.5 but not sure of the off set.i think it would look nice with black cherry.
5Zigen ZR +520 Gunmetal but its like a hyper black
Thanks man
lol your just saying that because of the interior..jk.. Thanks alot!
Those 5Zigen's are awesome, they're pretty heavy...but they'll take a beating
Thanks alot man
Ya i think they look very aggressive.I like the type 3 with the concave look.I know they are heavy but when i go to the track ill have me slicks on
I really like them..I think it would go great with a dark paint color and CF.
Looked Great on ASTIG's car....although not concave
Ended up putting on the JDM amber side markers and GTZ door claddings.Got the markers from Trigg and claddings from Cali.Thanks guys!I put the cyber sides back on for now because the SVR-4 were just test fit and need alittle work.
Ok lets get back to the interior..I took all the trimmings off to get the carpet out so now imma start painting everything black
sorry i lost the pics of everything after paint but you will see it all installed
Painted the door panels aswell and put on the red material
Started getting the interior back in..Got a front aluminum cover for the speedometer and some JDM chrome interior handles
Coming together
Ok so ive been having this issue with my manifold cracking for the longest and im done with it.Well you get what you pay for.So now i wanted something alittle more DIFFERENT.I wanted a top mount manifold.I ended up going with the Peakboost HVS manifold and 44mm Tial wastegate.I believe this is the same manifold that Stewi has before i got mine.
Piece of shit
Peakboost HVS
Now as you can see this manifold is hitting something..The starter..This manifold is made specifically for the evos being that the starter on their cars are lower around the oil pan area.
I really like this manifold so i called up Ken from Peakboost and asked if I can send the manifold back and do something different to move the manifold away and over.I knew just what to do.With alittle measuring and a welder we can do this.I cut the flange off of the shity manifold and placed it on the head.Now i simply held the HVS manifold where i wanted it and started marking.This would of been a big pain if the p/s was still in the car but thats been deleted for awhile now lol.
Now that the other flange is on the head we started spot welding some points to it
Manifolds spot welded on to the flange in the position wanted

Peakboost, eh? You're lucky you got your manifold.....a lot of shady stuff has been going on with them lately
^ Who you telling man...Kens a lying piece of shit...It took them 6 months to make and ship this manifold to me.Then i shipped him this back for the new position and every phone call i made was a different excuse!! Like--Oh man the mexican guy that polishes the manifold for me is a illegal immigrant and got caught LMFAO!Or sorry man ive been having a family crisis and ive been looking for a new polisher.It took me almost 7 months to get this back the second time.Will not do business with ever again.
Older pic I found of when i was taking out the power steering lol
yeah you get in there! no homo... hahaha
No PS is great. You can really feel when the tires start slipping lol
and I would put all the interior in after paint? I dunno
Now that whole time that Peakboost was f%*&ing me in the a$$(didnt even buy me a drink).For those of you that know me knows that i cant just go and do things the easy way.Instead of waiting for this manifold and just putting it on with the old turbo and some custom piping.......I start buying things for my DOHC swap!!!
Here are some parts that ive got during this wait..
Evo 8 cylinder head fully ported
HKS 272 camshafts and HKS cam gears
HKS high flow fuel rail and a Zaklee clear cam gear cover
lmao!Gotta get down and dirty...I love no PS!! but with these big cars the guys with the very small arms need this(dont really have that problem).
Ya your right but this interior comes out quick and easy..idk how many times ive contantly taken everything out and put back in.
Looking really good Brian. I had some problems with Peakboost when I ordered my manifold, it wasnt as bad as the stuff thats going on now. I waited almost 2 extra weeks to get mine. The car looks really good with the Dolphin front, how big of a FMIC did you stuff in there? I was always concerned my 3" core wouldnt do the job, if I ever get to that point, im most likely going to need to swap bumpers to a dolphin so I can fit a larger core in there.
