Cool My car Project is almost done to the final stage

Just a run down what I have been doing with my car. I own a 03.5 Sedan and been working on in the past 3 years and kinda of like where it goes but it will come to end because this website is freaking money eater and addiction

So this is my car stock



Then I replace the wheel with 18" but didn't like that so bought the 19 AMD replica wheel and love it.

I decided to have spoiler on and then body kits. I know a lot of people here don't like my body kits but it's my car so I don't give a damn about your opinion


after than I upgraded the engine with some after market AEM CAI, MD 5/16 iso thermal spacer, Earth grounding kit, NGK step 1 colder plug.

Soon after than Upgraded the muffler by replacing stock Y pipe with HR-Ypipe from a 350z then the midpipe with coupe. It sound pretty good but not loud enough

I went to friend of mind who own a muffler show and he had this muffler sitting in there and perfect fit but no brand. I guess it would be the same like the ebay one since almost look similar but it was free so I take it and I love the sound of it

I wanted to be a little louder I guess and better gain so I purchased no brand name Test Pipe of craigslist but it came resonated and love the sound even better

Then I upgraded the interior with Ipod interface and Coupe front seats (thanks to Timmah) with headrest monitor. Replace the front and rear shock with 350z sport suspension and Eibach sportline springs.



I then realize I want the 05/06 tails so I upgraded mine but leave the trunk the same and did the red line mods to it


Then I started to hire professional to painted my tails light GTR style. I did bought an Overlays but didn't like it that much.




Then I painted the Fuji Emblem into Gloss Black to match the tails




Then I decided to painted my Billet grille to black .... don't like it so much so had it there for about half a day



I replaced the grille with OEM and had it painted black also




I decided to paint headlight also. So here is the Prep and painting. I decided to painted the side marker also since it will make it look much better

Finally here is the final pictures of the Exterior car and I really love it










Night time shoot from the tails .... will get the front one later one today



Here is another video for the muffler with tails light done
Now here is what most people probably will want to know more ....
A little hint ... I purchased Mishimoto Oil cooler, Mishimoto Trans Cooler, transgo Shift kit upgrade, Mishimoto E-fan conversion, Torqued converter.

All of that is for this teaser pictures ... Is still in the shop and can't wait to get it done hopefully this friday


Updated:

Just got back from UMS tuning and my car will not be done today because the Transgo Shift kit upgrade is not install yet and some other stuff so it will be monday ... but here is more pic as you can see in the front where they mounted intercooler on the bottom, oil cooler on the top and trans cooler on the side




Updated: just came back from the shop and the car will be ready in 3 hours. here is the video of the vortech rev

Updated: Transmission finally gave up after 93000 miles. I already know something wrong with it kind of slipping sometimes but I guess with the vortech supercharger is finally gave up. So re-building the trans now for a better part. Hope to get it back later on today as what the shop told me then I can really enjoy the new power for it.

Got my car back couple days ago but haven't had time to update the forum. So anyway, got a new transmission with upgraded and rebuild inside of it so it will last for the supercharger.
I was pissed that I can't shift over 4000rpm just because new valva body and need to get reflash from dealership so I went to them and got the TCM reflash at the dealership.

Soon after, CEL, Slip and VDC light went off 4 hours after left the dealership. Went back there and said something is wrong with my throtle body. They tried to charge me but I told them no and went home with it. I pretty much open the throtle body and saw very dirty black so I cleaned it and do the relearn and clear the CEL and everything works just fine now. LOVE the car

So here is the Dyno from UMS tuning. It peak at 336 HP to the rear wheel drive and 275TQ without any hickups I guess .... Not so bad gain about 100+ HP to the rear wheel drive ...



and here is some pictures I took with my phone at work today ...

I like it and the front bumper sit pretty nice now without empty opening in the middle





Now is time to relax and enjoy the car

Updated Kinetix SSV intake manifold ... thanks to Tim (Ttrank) to hook me up with such a great price and installed



Update!!

Replace the SSBOX engine management with UTEC and map selector. Replace the stock injector with 600cc injector. Upgrade the fuel pump to walbro. Re-tuned and gain a little bit more power and torqued .. not bad at all.. Thanks all goes to UMS tuning Tony and Jeremy are the best in the valley





Another Update...

I added Oil catch can, a little intake box for air flow to the supercharger filter not sure what the name is, and painted the stupid red sc to black.






0-60 Video

Updated ... Stillen True Dual Exhaust ...

Video megan racing resonated test pipe with stillen true dual exhaust
Watching my car being driven by my friend lol

It looks like the side skirts are lower than the rest of the body kit.
