Thumbs up Teh JBF Progress Thread! Haters welcome! :)

So I'm bored and I decided to make a progress thread for myself! The thread will be updated as I go!

22 December 2008 when I brought her home!



February 2009:

First mods. Black Grille, MD 5/16 spacer, Z-tube, Popcharger and a de-badge


March 2009:

Coupe S-Tech Springs, ebay clear corners (hey I got em for 5 bucks from someone), HKS Hi-Power, MRR GT-1 wheels.






April 2009:

Black Headlight housings and clear turn signal lenses


Also not seen: Sprint Booster, Z1Motorsports 13.25 lb flywheel and HD clutch (Garbage btw)

Quick little photoshoot with a buddy one night


I felt sooooo proud sitting next to a GT-R hahaha


June 2009:

Polished lips and gunmetal faces on the GT-1s, RHD battery cover and JDM clear corners


July 2009:

Stance coils and 06 Headlights. Sold the Popcharger and got a Stillen intake for free!! <--for helping someone in a time of need!




Aug 2009:

Sold the MRRs and HKS exhaust and picked up a set of OEM 19s. Also swapped out the Flywheel and clutch for an ACT setup. The Z1 was poor quality!!
DBA 4000 series slotted rotors with Hawk ferodo pads, Hotchkis sways, SPL solid diff bushings and SPC rear camber kit installed.



Jan 2010:

Picked up a painted nismo front and it was FAIL





March 2010:

Had the shocks and struts swapped out under warranty so she sat like this for a few weeks:


April 2010:

JLB Apollo wheels! 20mm kics spacers and R40 neo chrome lugs!


May 2010:

New Nismo front, Impul sides, painted hood, fenders, roof, grille and headlights. New windshield and 60mm nismo wheel studs. Varrstoens!


June 2010:

10mm spacers in the front and 5mm spacers in the rear.



July 2010:

Fujitsubo Legalis-R Exhaust, rattle canned diffuser and JDM bump clears



Aug 2010:

SPL Compression Rod Bushings, Moar low and herra custom finish on the Varrs




Thats pretty much it for now!

Have some new wheels and coils on the way and will be doing a full OCD style wire tuck.

and like I said I will update as I go!

Thanks for reading!

Looking good John. Remember meeting you at Left Coast Low back in 2009 when you were on OEM 19s IIRC. Car has come a long way since then.

How'd you get the dealership to cover your oem shocks if you had the stance coils?
