And the finished project all ill say is never again will i attempt this it was a worse than i remembered than on my 07 5 pepsi 2 bud lights 2 shots of patron a sun burn 3 bee stings later the job is done!

[Bu11dogg2]

Nice work!

I wish I had known you had a wingless trunk.... I would have just traded trunks!

[ipassu]

We thought about it remember the night you dropped off the s203 wing to be but my paint is more blueish in the light where yours was like a brownish. I still haven't painted your wing yet thats next year when i respray. I looked at my ASA rims and they are made by BBS so they are getting painted gold soon after i take care of the curb rash

[ipassu]

BTW I heard people saying the td04s have major turbo lag but i haven't even noticed any lose of spool but pretty sure its coming. new turbo is in the works for next year

[Bu11dogg2]

td04 spools quick

[ipassu]

yeah with a TMIC I was told they would spool really slow using a FMIC but eh idk its fine for me all in all i am very happy on how the cars coming

[reardrv]

Dude I've seen your car around, very nice! Definitely the nicest bug eye I've seen around our area!

[whtrexgrl]

Sweet!

[ipassu]

Thanks rear glad to know someone likes it lol. I try to make it different. Ran out of funds for this year. Converting my interior lights to blue leds and painting the rims. Hopefully next year ill obtain and si upipe and a hi flow catted down to go with the turbo and injectors I am plannning on for next year

[reardrv]

Dude I know what you mean, it always seems like theirs never enough money for more mods. Though I did just order some stuff for my WRX yesterday after a recent influx of funds from me selling my GSX. Nothing to crazy, just some nessesities ;). I will say though I'm not much of a wing guy but I like yours, very taste full and really compliments the car well. I think you drove by my house about a week or two ago and she looks hot!

[yaya]

yeah with a TMIC I was told they would spool really slow using a FMIC but eh idk its fine for me all in all i am very happy on how the cars coming

FYI - FMIC won't affect lag. Big turbos are laggy. With the volume of air that needs to be charged when you run a FMIC you might lose a little throttle response compared to a TMIC.

(If you need a catless up pipe, I've got a gutted 04 WRX one sitting around...)

[ipassu]

I like my wing i brought it off randy its a replica s203 wing i like the way the curves match the factory trunk lid. I probably do drive by your house alot specially if you live on route 11 i go that way to alton atleast 3 times aweek to get my daughter from daycare lol. She would look better if people at my apartment complex would stop keying the damn car very frustrating i even have people writing in my wax that i suck C*** which is rather annoying cuz i got to keep on buffing it out and then it comes back a couple days later.

yaya if you still have it in september when i go back to ct to help my parents mvoe to nh ill pick it up from you just pm me a price.

[Bu11dogg2]

s203 replica wing.... $700 new

[ipassu]

Yeah what randy said he's an expert specially cuz it was his wing. Btw anyone have the tools or know how to change the spark plugs? I am so tied up in bills right now that I can't afford to pay a garage to do it

[reardrv]

153 in Farmington, but I am on rt 11 allot since its practically the only way in or out of town. As for the plugs I'm not sure on a Suby, they look like a ***** though. Maybe someone else will chime in?

[ipassu]

Htey look easy with a flex plug remover but I don't have one plus my fmic pipes might be in the way not to sure tho. Reason I usually take my car to a shop for anything electrical or have a buddy disconnect the battery s that 4 years ago I found out I have a weak heart. Went to jump my ex wifes car she crossed the polarities on her side so when I connected I got a nice shock and woke up in a ambulance lol.

[reardrv]

Yeah I can see your point, especially as high as the voltage is on the plugs. I lost part of a thumb due to a stupid accident with a running motor-cycle and now I'm pretty skittish when it come to running machinery.

[ipassu]

That really sucks that people can't leave other people's stuff alone. Pisses me off. You could always get a two-way alarm system with a proximity sensor. It would go off if people got too close to your car (they don't even have to touch the car) and your remote would let you know if someone is around your car (as long as you're within range). The downside is that if you have it too sensitive you'll most likely have a lot of false alarms but hey, it's better to be safe than sorry.:shrug:

[fbodydude53]

nice car man! I like the rims and the wing

[ipassu]

Yea, me and the wife were talking about getting a alarm system for the car but than decided since I have to drive it one more year in the snow( will be the second time the car will have seen a winter) that its best I invest in some snow tires and steelies. Alarm will def be main priority next year although i might just get myself one for xmas this year and save a head ache

[ipassu]

Thanks Fbody my goal this year is to meet my HP numbers, I am hoping to try to squeeze out 300hp with this setup if not oh well hopefully I can get close

That's cool. Just make sure you get a two-way system, preferably one with SST (spread spcectrum technology = realisticly, about a quarter mile range)

[ipassu]

Heres the most recent shot I have of the car from 3 weeks ago

http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae100/monodark/654ad008.jpg

[ipassu]

Thanks Axis, Ill make sure to have you help me alarm shop and do the install to

[Berge56]

Sweet dude. Injectors should have arrived today. :)

[batorr]

Heres the most recent shot I have of the car from 3 weeks ago

http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae100/monodark/654ad008.jpg

I love how the car looks all blacked out. Window tinting in the future?

[ipassu]

@berge56 No injectors yesterday I waited by the mail box like a little kid around 12pm in hopes that they would be there lol. Monday! Very excited!

@batorr definetly window tints next year or maybe if I get a nice raise this year. I have black mesh foglight covers for the foglights, and on my vacation this year the intercooler is coming off and getting powdercoated black.

[Shiux]

Not into the tails, and I prefer fmics to fill tge entire bumper opening.

Other than that I like it a lot, it certainly has potential.

[ipassu]

Haha I had to hack my bumper to even fit the intercooler in there as it was to big

[ipassu]

Update on what Ive been up to on my bday weekend. Still working on it unfortunately hope to be done today. Helix 660cc injector install, Stromung DP and ERZ upipe, with and you can laugh Godspeed big 16g turbo port and polished with a bloush rebuild kit. My buddy back home is running a godspeed GTR turbo on this h22a build prelude at 24psi for 3 years now no issues, we shall see.

Nice dude!

[ipassu]

This is sucking my stock turbo had huge traces of oil and I can't seem to figure out how to do injectors

[shamankjm]

good luck with that, and your build is certainly taking shape- very clean!

[Bu11dogg2]

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=964852

[ipassu]

Yea it's taking shape, had to cut it short as I have work tomorrow and didn't think I was gonna have the issues I'm havin 4 hours of PB and torch and the up pipe bolts didnt break free the down pipe I had to cut the bolts off the car and that was a big mistake as I've spent Half my day drilling them out lol when it gets nicer ill take a week off I guess

[shamankjm]

Happy birfday, BTW.

[Berge56]

Damn dude. Good luck with it.

[ipassu]

Thank you for the bday wish, update is I couldn't get the up pipe off the bolts were on there very good, I didn't change the turbo or injectors as time restraints made it hard, I did the dp but most of the time was fixing a bent out of shape flange from Lous custom exhaust, so right now the small exhaust leak is not pretty big and they didnt use a gasket te used silicone. My turbo seals are pretty much shot I reinstalled the td04 and cranked the bolts down and re primed the system, started the car and watched coolant poor out of the bellmouth =(

[ipassu]

Anyone wanna lend a hand doing the turbo injectors and the up-pipe? the downpipe to turbo bolts and turbo to uppipe bolts will come off with ease lol. I broke them all free in less that 20 minutes. Also if I cant salvage the bent flange from lous custom exhaust than im gonna need a new midpipe to connect from my stromung dp to my custom catback, anyone have one laying around?

[ipassu]

HAHA so me and my buddy were assembling the lines on my new turbo making sure the up-pipe would mate to the new turbo with out issues having some drinks and my wife caught this two images and posted them on her face book, I think there pretty fun. Enjoy

And Im guessing I was horny and need to get laid? LOL

[ipassu]

Finally an update I got sick of these headlights taking up space in my room and finally decided to throw them on the car. I removed the plastic cover leading into the turn signal area and painted it a gloss black and reinstalled the cover and sealed it with clear silicone. Took apart all the crappy projectors and resealed all the crappy seals that they had which was causing moisture to get into the projector and pop my bulbs. I than took out the crappy halos that didn't even work and wired in 2 sets of red led rings. Gonna be putting in a second set of rings soon. Here's the pics some might not like it but I do. And No matter what everytime I re sized they wouldn't go down

Got my clutch installed this weekend thanks to Ballistic Motorsports, Was my first time taking my car to any shops here in NH and my experience was wonderful! I would like to personally thank Scotty and Alex again for doing an amazing job even when my car wasn't the easiest to work on. Oh and no more exhaust leak! I only snapped two pictures.

Wifey Snapped it and sent it to me saying slow down, guessing her Altima couldn't keep up. Sadly I was doing the speed limit its all the corners that killed her.
