So after so much changes in my car and finally doing a turbo swap, I figured doing a build thread for all the progress to be compiled into one thread. So let's start

Got the car on March of 2014 61k miles for 9.5k
How she look when I got get except she had oem headlights





So after a few months I started to get the mod bug and started to buy some stuff on black Friday of that same year







Got all that stuff on my first black friday and was really happy with all my stuff by that time I had the forge bpv unit in the car trying to diagnose a problem. Also had my turboxs dp and FL catback and my k&n intake


Also got these made by Bass_waves and I love them and that same day I place my order with bass got me a powell hardcore sway bar





The car sat like that forawhile and maybe added an MPX shorty antenna. Felt I needed new wheels so I went ahead and got me some enkei m52, also lowered the car on ottp springs but that didn't last long as I got an amazing deal on some v3 yyz so I changed again, installed lcabs and tcabs while I was at it

I started to mod the interior of the car a bit and got black hvac with blue leds, and got a new shift boot from redline goods and an ottp short shifter with a delrin/stainless knob sadly I didn't take any pics of the interior with those installed before I did a total 360 on the car





Went ahead and also got an armrest installed



After that I pretty much finished the interior, and went with another install for the engine bay and got an ottp upper Transmount

So after all that one day going to school some lady decided to hit me from behind the damage was minor so minor that if I didn't tell you I got hit you wouldnt be able to see or maybe you could I definitely could but some people couldn't lol

In all her glory with that paint job



I began the process of insurance claim and all that bs and even with the minimal damage I got the car fixed but I got enough to change the whole cars color

After 2 months of wait going back and forth with the insurance industry got my car back


The interior got a touch up after that


Compared to before



After that I got a few more stuff . I went ahead and got a powell tow hook and license plate bracket, hood liner and painted the charge pipe white but then changed it to blue




I did the 3rd brake light led swap and the led side marker swap (thanks to Jesse on the side markers) also got new tails from riceburner but ended up selling them and got me a new set that's on the works with Colodude.








With the tailights I got from riceburner I also got an SS steering wheel badge, full led swap for all lights, CF front emblem and the gmpp pedals covers (already had the gas pedal I got from a wrecked balt)


Also placed my oder for new retros with Riceburner and I think he made an amazing job!!

Now the important one I'm sure most of you wanted to hear or read lol. So i placed my order for the K04R along with gms1 sensors and hptuners





How the bay looked during install I think it took me somewhere between 9 hrs of install




Now the turbo is on the car and I'm tuning for 91 with kmo43, will be tuning for e47 once I get everything sorted out for now that's it if I remember anything else I'll keep updating

Nice job you have done a lot. Don't be depressed with the r on 91 it won't be that great. E47 however should wake it up a ton.

Snail_SS

iTrader: (3)

Up until now im really happy with it to be honest and the tune isn't even ready

Sl0wbaltSS

I need money

Haven07

This car will be wicked on e47...

I can't wait to switch over to corn myself, I have everything I need just need to make the trip to get her tuned for it

KMO43

91 is junk to start off with but can't keep temps in check on the R so you have to go pretty mild on the tune E will wake that bitch up!!

Snail_SS

iTrader: (3)

Yeah I can't wait to go E

This is cool to see. Similar to what I want to do with my car and this inspires me. Except I'm too lazy to really do appearance mods lol. I'm glad your car turned out the way it did and congrats on the build. Real clean man!

Snail_SS

For me the real appearance mods I've done would be painting the charge pipes and intake, tails and retros, exterior paint was free pretty much
