JDM Type R front end, guess that means its time to repaint the car again, already got a new color in mind, but it wont be until spring time most likely. I got a few other things planned for the exterior before painting.

10/20/10: Fab-Worx had too good of a deal on their turbo manifolds to pass up. I picked up a topmount manifold for $700 shipped. I went with a T3/44mm flange setup. Should have it here in next couple weeks, once it arrives Ill get some pics up for ya. Check em out at http://www.fab-worx.com

10/24/10: Today I decided to clean up the engine bay a little bit more. You know those over priced "dress up bolts" that companies sell for 80+ dollars? Well I decided to do my own for less then $10. Heres what you need to buy from Lowes

 

#12 Finish Washers

m6x1.00 16 bolts for the fenders/hood

m6x1.00 20 bolts for the headlights and bumper

10/25/10: After a heated exchange of words between me and a company and a few members of various forums, over the bolts i bought and installed, I did something about it to shut them up. I had talked to the owner of a company called Moddiction a few months back, he was starting to get his business off the ground and needed some help with sizing bolts and needing to know how many would be required for each chassis's engine bay. Well last night after my 2hr e-battle with the other guys, I hit the owner of Moddiction up just to see how business was going ect.. We start talking about my e-battle and discuss the possibility of him providing me with some of his Titanium Bolts/Washers in exchange for me helping to get his name out there. After a short while we come to an agreement and I have my 2nd sponsorship. While they aren't huge sponsorships, they are greatly appriciated.

 

Check out http://www.moddiction.com they specialize in weighted shift knobs and titanium bolts. Should you buy something just tell him that guy_from_nerk or Josh Moore sent you, just so he can see that I am holding up my end of the deal.

10/29/10: I figured I might as well buy my downpipe while Tony@fab-worx had my manifold, so I went ahead and ordered that. I am going to be running the downpipe out of the front bumper, on the driver side, in front of the tire. I know it has been done before by others, but I love the way it looks and sounds.

I can't believe people like that, there just bolts for body parts. I honestly didn't think they looked to bad at all but then again im not a jdm fan boy so my opinion doesn't mean much to those kids haha.

 

Nice manifold, i've been digging top mounts a lot lately. Might switch mine out when I opt for a bigger turbo to meet my goal.

 

Keep up the good work man.

Yeah I don't get people anymore either man. I think internet forums have helped kill the car scene honestly. You are always being degraded if you don't do something the way one of the "popular" guys does shit. I think people have forgotten what originality and DIY is all about. Oh well I am just gonna keep building my car for myself, and when someone talks shit, line up and shut em up :)

 

I love the way topmounts look under the hood. The company I got mine from has their topmounts on sale for the price of most other comapnies cost of a ramhorn

11/17/10: Well today my turbo manifold finally arrives. I have had a pretty shitty time getting this, but its finally here and looks good. My downpipe was supposed to arrive today as well but it unfortunately is MIA. FabWorx is supposedly trying to figure out whats going on, I won't go into details in my build thread, but right now I am not a very happy man. Anyways heres a pic of the manifold

Well the above mentioned manifold didn't fit so I had to ship it back. Let me tell you, don't ever deal with Fab-Worx out of Florida. They are the shadiest, shittiest shop I have ever come across. 2 months after ordering my manifold I am still waiting on a refund for the downpipe that never arrived and the manifold that didn't fit. I have filed a dispute with bank, they are going to get the money back.

 

Anyways updates!!

 

12/30/10: Well its seems like forever since I have bought anything for the teg, which is has been quite a while. With that said, I bought some stuff today! Picked up a PWR intercooler and a Limited Edition Black HKS blowoff valve. I got both of these for less then what the bov sells for by its self!!

12/31/10: The spending continued today. I had the extra money and took a poll of what to buy between my friends and my gf. The unanimous winner was this. Precision 6262SP JB, .82AR Vband. I bought it from ImportDPS, no one could touch their pricing!! I'll post pics up Thursday when it arrives
