Winter Mod Thread...
carbon fiber nismo diffuser = check
carbon fiber roof spoiler = check
JDM clear side markers with bump = check
custom single turbo kit = check
vented front fenders = check
kuruma front bumper = check
APR carbon fiber splitter = check
kenstyle side skirts = check
custom carbon fiber dual exhaust = check
just wait til I finish building these damn headlights.... then I'll be happy
couldn't make up my mind between the HKS flat black limited edition BOV or the turboXS RFL so I bought both. Got a custom adapter made that will allow me to swap them out without having to change the flange on the pipe too
bought all new stainless braided lines with black fittings instead of the red/blue ones that everyone else seems to use. Upgraded to 1/2" NPT oil return lines, added an oil cooler that is 1/2" NPT as well as a oil sandwich plate that is 1/2" NPT. Going to tap 1/2" NPT ports into my high capacity oil pan so it all works properly.
should be getting another SSV manifold next week when the seller gets back to CT
decided to keep my brembos and just upgrade my pads and rotors in spring. Still need to pick up my new coilovers in spring and sell the Sustec Pro 5 coilovers I have currently.
Thats about it for now guys

I like the new look on the sedan with the diffuser. That was a good choice right there. Money well spent my dude! See ya this spring
there are so many parts and boxes in the lab at the house right now its not even funny. I can't wait for spring simply so I can get all of this stuff on the car and out of my house. Might be moving to a MUCH nicer apartment in April if I get approved for it too. If I get it I'll be in Holliston instead, I'll keep you posted though
yeah Holliston LOL
it puts me closer to my day job and equal distance to my night job. Same money I pay now for that crap hole I call home at this point. But everything in this other apartment is brand new. They're painting, replacing the carpets, new stainless appliances, ground floor unit and 2 parking spaces. I'm trading my 9 car driveway for a MUCH nicer apartment. Anything I don't install on the car this spring is either getting sold or donated to a couple other coupes I know of. I don't want the 2nd bedroom in the apartment to be sucked up as a lab this time around. I want it to be a place someone can crash for the night if a party or a meet goes a little longer than planned
I really need a garage or a shop for all that other stuff I have floating around and the tools and air compressor and bench polisher etc etc.

assembling a set of quad projector headlights for myself for this summer. I took pics as I completed different portions of the build. I have my whole kitchen basically full of headlight stuff at the moment with the dremel and other tools at the ready. Constantly measuring, cutting, grinding and sanding things to make them fit perfectly before paint and final assembly. Hoping to have this set completed this weekend and put them on my car on Sunday morning. Keeping my fingers crossed
