I swear you don't see a bungee cord, you must be blind.

[HamSocks]

Never spotted your car in the area before, surprisingly. Nice choice of exhaust. ;)

[07STIkid]

I've only had it for a week and a half.

[Joe]

Wow, looks slow.







:lol: j/k very nice car. The bungee cord mod is perfect to keep the vibrations from wiggling it loose.

[07STIkid]

My box just slides around to much, if i barely turn a corner all i hear is smack as my box hits my trunk.

[etaks99rs]

Clean! Nice.

I thought it was Jesus for a second, lol

Welcome to the site and nice ride :)

[Gearhead Geek]

Welcome to the site. Very clean car. Not a huge fan of the exhaust & bov, but to each their own :)
But omg I LOVE those headlights. Those halos are friggin SEXY.

[chadsti]

love the grill

[07STIkid]

Just a little tease for now....I'll upload more tomorrow.

[Seraphinwolf]

Bought time you add at least an update Nick.

[Berge56]

Nice upgrade!

[shtbxr22]

FMIC?

[Seraphinwolf]

Yeah. Perrin.

[Bu11dogg2]

who did your tuning?

[Seraphinwolf]

He's still on his APv2.

[07STIkid]

I know I know, im going to get it tuned as soon as I get some more money. I still need to setup two catch cans and tweak my waste gate. Here are the money shots.

FMIC, lightened crank pulley, turbo inlet, EL headers, AVO wastegate.

[shtbxr22]

please tell me you are seriously joking with dryer hose intake. :unamused:

[jmb1983]

:lol: it looks like a painted slinky

[RCKSTR]

Does the spt intake not fit under the perrin piping?

[GeoffC8]

+165464646464646464646... wow

[axis]

Love the fmic but the dryer hose has to go. That thing can't be helping with all of those ridges.

[Antihero]

LOLSLINKYINTAKEOMGWTF?!

seriously is serious, why spend all that money on legit Perrin stuff, only to ghettofy the intake?

[07STIkid]

The SPT wont fit so I need to get another one. That's just temporary so I could get the car running.

[RCKSTR]

for that I think you need a "shorty" intake type, aps and well perrin both have a good one that just comes right off the turbo inlet ;)

[Berge56]

:munch: Contact subimods and get a new short ram. :)

[yaya]

KS-Tech also makes a CAI that works with the Perrin FMIC

BTW, Nice upgrades Nick. Get that intake ASAP or I will come to your house and spray paint your car.

:D

[Bu11dogg2]

I still :wub: you Nick

[07STIkid]

Funny thing is that's my friend in that picture not me lol. And yes I'm going to be installing two oil catch cans, radiator over flow tank, new intake, shifter bushings and braided brake lines soon.

Oh yeah does anyone know someone who can tig weld stainless steel?

[boost25]

I think axis can weld...

So Nick, do you like the new sound? EL headers are such a change!

I don't tig yet, just stick and mig:unamused:

[boost25]

EPIC FAIL!

Lol. Hi Dan! :ninja:

[07STIkid]

The sound is very different but I'm starting to love it. My only issue with the Perrin EL headers is that they are slip flanged so you can pull or push them apart to make for a perfect fit. Mine leak at the flange because of that. Perrin said as the headers warm up they should expand and not leak but mine are LEAKY! My BOV sounds sick with the FMIC now.

[jessickascarling]

perrin FMIC looks nice!!!

[Bu11dogg2]

Future plans?

[02wrxman]

great looking car you have

[07STIkid]

My motor is being fully built minus the crank shaft by Kinetic Motor Works. I'm going to edit my first posts with a mod list in a little while. Stay tuned for updates!

[Berge56]

did the motor blow up or are you just having them build it for good measure?

[07STIkid]

Bad piston ring. Cylinder 4 only has 60 psi for compression. So I figure while it's out why not go nuts.

[07STIkid]

Dropped the car off earlier today and motor is already out.

[shtbxr22]

guaranteed to be a bad piston ringland, but just saying......and I could probably build it to last longer.....just sayin'. good luck with that. :up:

[07STIkid]

Did you see the updated mod list on the first page? With everything getting done it should be strong enough to last awhile unless I put some stupid huge turbo and try to push to much boost which I don't plan on doing.

[RCKSTR]

What turbo you gonna run? I only see te avo WG listed?!?!

[07STIkid]

I'm still running stock turbo for now. I wanted to build it first then get a turbo at the end of the year maybe. I'm thinking of doing a GT35R rotated setup.

[02wrxman]

car looks good and nice mods you have listed to

[shtbxr22]

If you're thinking of that, talk to brian. he's popped a motor on a 35R, and most likely knows his way around that setup in more ways than one. I probably won't be the only one to tell you it's not for the faint of heart.

[shtbxr22]

looked at your mod list, and I will say there is a turbo missing from the equation. throw away that stupid accessport, and get it custom tuned. off the shelf sucks. stage 3 this, and 1000cc injector that.....with a stock turbo. hmph!

That's what I'm thinking! You're asking for more problems with a setup like that on a lil vf...
I'd say pick either Brian or evoeaters brains on their setups ;)

[Kinetic]

Nick let us help explain some of the details here. On Nicks car we found it to have low compression in one cylinder which yes is most likely a broken ring land on the piston. Motor is out but not apart yet it will be apart early this week.
We will be using forged CP pistons and eagle rods on the build in order to hold more power once the turbo is upgraded. Since the engine is out it makes sense to do as much now while its out.
Also the 1000cc Injector Dynamics injectors are way to large for the stock turbo but they will be well suited for the new turbo set up once its in. We also will be doing a full pro tune with the new set-up to ensure its running correctly.
Once the new turbo set-up is in we are setting up the engine for 450+ HP which is the reason for some of the mods.

[Kinetic]

We also did a little video on the removal!! Check it out at this link!

Great choice on parts! Should last a long time :D

And by CP pistons you mean Wiseco right? lol

I do not have enough to do a turbo at the moment. Again we decided to build it up while it's out. So once I'm ready for a turbo the motor is all set and should be able to handle it no problem.

As for the access port they are going to do a pro tune and load it on my access port so I can still use it. I don't have any gauges at the moment and want to be able to read out certain things and data log.

[KTunedSti]

yet again kinetic went above and beyond its the small things like pictures videos texts that make them an EVEN BETTER shop! Nick I am beyoond jelous and I am on a mission to catch up by spring!

[Berge56]

In for the motor buid. :)
