well, i've decided to change my plans up a bit. origionally, i was going to make the bodywork come last on the car, as it's in pretty rough shape, and i'm powerhungry. but, i already have new front fenders, bumper cover, lip, mudflaps, doors, and all excellent condition moldings. if i can get my garage cleaned out before spring, i'd like to have the car ready for paint by spring/summer. all black, with black moldings, my lights blacked out, my mkiv TT rims on, which are gunmetal, and soon to have a polished lip.
i've got one of the replica hatch visors, and on monday i'm sending payment for the ultra-rare 87-88 front blinker cover, which looks wicked, in my opinion. the only things left for the exterior that i'll be looking for in the near future are: 89+ tails, and mirrors. after that, comes bodywork and paint, as well as some tint. (not too dark)
i've also decided to sell my new-in-box SAFC 2, and my LEXUS AFM, but that will come soon. (keep an eye out in the FS section in a few months, maybe earlier for the SAFC, as well as the greddy wideband)
i'm going MAFT pro. i've already decided. i've been following the developmental work, and i really like the direction it's headed, so i'll definately be picking one up. most likely right after my turbo uprade.
here's my current mod list:
1986.5 chassis, still on the w58 with my own custom SOGI short shift rethreaded for stock knob, '89 7MGTE, Clutchmasters Stage III, Fidanza Lighweight Flywheel, Lexus AFM, RC 550cc Injectors, Boost Reference Aeromotive Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator with Fuel Pressure gauge and stainless steel braided lines, pulsatoin damper removal kit and j-tube bypass, Walbro 255 Fuel Pump, Megan Racing Boost Gauge, Becauseican Divorced Wastegate Downpipe, 3" RS*R Concept Cat-back with resonator removed, Cometic 1.4mm MHG, ARP Headstuds, 1mm Oversized Valves, Dr. Jonez Manual Boost Controller @ 15psi, Eibach Pro Kit, Koni Yellows, Upper Hardpipe/BOV, B&M 11x8 oil cooler, B&M 180* thermostat, oilfilter relocation kit, Greddy oil catch can. 3400lbs with driver
*not installed yet...* - MKIV TT rims, SAFC-II, Greddy WB o2 gauge.
i still havent dyno'd the car, although i'm anxious to find out what power level i'm at. i can only guestimate it's around 300whp or so, but then again, i wont know for sure until i get it dyno'd.
as for how long this will all take, i'm hoping to be done with the exterior work (including the NSX popup headlight project) by late spring/early summer, and to have the MAFT pro up and running with a wb o2 sensor by mid-summer, right after the 60 trim CT upgrade. i guess i'll finally have the looks to back up the power... i guess this thread is really just to motivate myself, and once i get ahold of my girlfriend's camera, i'll take some pics of the car, so you can all see how terrible it looks, haha.
then you can fully appreciate the after pics. :naughty:
