I bought my 2004 G coupe back in November of 2004.

Much of my stuff wasnt documented which I regret now... but oh well.


First mods were Tein S techs and a Data replica front lip.



I wanted wheels but didnt realize how much forged wheels were going for so I waited and saved up until I bought a set of Volk GT-S in gold. Also added some Veilside underwings... Looking back at them.. they were ugly lol.





Shortly after wards I started to have oil consumption issues... 3.5 quarts per 100 miles. Engine replaced with a new fresh long block for free under warranty.




The lips on my wheels are starting to get pretty hazed. (auto car wash FTL)



So I decided to send them out to get the barrels chromed. Worth every penny.





Shortly soon after the whole HellaFlush/Stanced/Poke caught my eye and I was off again to see what I could do. Picked up a set of Tein Flex with EDFC and some spacers and started to try and dial things in.







Picked up some 06 projectors and larger spacers.







Love the TB paint pop.



New front lip since I tore my old off driving through 6" of water and apparently a branch took it with it.









Ive always wanted to do a somewhat decent photoshoot so I hired a photographer that doesnt normally do cars (a friends girl friend). Some of my favorites.
















Power was seriously lacking to my at this point. I knew bolt ons wouldnt do it for me since I used to have a spacer, cat back and intake before the engine was replaced. So I picked up a Greddy 18g twin turbo kit.





Car is currently at Hills Garage getting the TT done.

List of parts for turbo:

Greddy Twin 18g Kit
JWT Clutch
Megan Racing 2.5" test pipes.
Megan racing 2.5" to 3" Y-Pipe
JIC Magic 3" Single exhaust
Nexus Gauges
Osiris tuning software









Smashed my cats up pretty good lol



More pics soon to come as I get them from the Hills.

C & C welcome.

 

nooooooice! subscribed

 

this will be good

 

Good Luck bro!!!!!! Been almost a year on my build and I'm still working out the bugs... Got any questions just ask me ....

 

Nice to see a TB getting some love. Good luck on the build!

 

looking nice bro.. how much was it to redo ya wheels?

 

Good stuff, looking forward to seeing what kind of numbers you put down.

 

This is awesome son. And your in the DMV too. Hills is my shop also, hopefully I get to see your car in the future.

 

car has come a long way....cant wait to see the end product Pepper. Knowing you, it WILL be ridiculous haha.

 

Great progression thread Pep

 

I have a great builder...Im good lol No plans for anything fancy for now... Just boost it... get it running. done.

Just the actual chroming was $125 per wheel. But shipping each way, dismounting tires, taking the wheels apart, and putting them back together also costs money lol. I sent the wheels alone and after everything still paid $800.

You're in Silver Spring? You are 5 min from me. You should come out to Starbucks when it picks back up.

 

Thanks!

Hopefully lol

Thanks!

They will be modest numbers. I dont plan on pushing my block since I have a baby on the way and blowing the block up would be a bad idea lol

LOL I wish it would be rediculous... it will be fun lol

Thanks! I'll add pics as I find them.

 

How much does this car cost ? Sorry for asking because I'm new here ^^.

 

Whew 800.. a kat was telling me he had his done for 100 a wheel.. I think I will get mine done in February

 

Looks clean. You should consider getting a tranny and oil cooler. GL with the build
