Snail_ss build thread
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
Link if you want more info on the crash

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
