Description:

This car was bought from a kid in VA that totally abused it. It was missing the bottom motor mounts. All manner of bolts. Dropped on Ebay coilover sleeves and the stock shocks were blown. He did a piss poor SI front conversion and ker-rappy Electron Blue paint job. Had an ebay intake and a chrome Type R valve cover on it. Chipped up Kaminari CF hood. At one point He attempted to dye the door panels white but was unsuccessful and did another piss poor job of restoring it. I'm still finding things that need fixing/replacing. But it's my daily driver and it gets me where I need to go.

Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:

Boosted daily driven D16Y8. Greddy 15g turbo @ a mild 6PSI on stock internals P06 tuned on Crome 450's Walbro 255. Test pipe/cat. Catback Thundermuff Exhaust.

Suspension Modifications:

Ground control Coilover sleeves on Drop zones. Benen 3-point strut bar. Generic Ebay rear stut bar. ASR subframe brace to fix the subframe damage. Skunk 2 LCAs and SI swaybar. Powerslot drilled/slotted front rotors.

Wheels/Tires Modifications:

18" Enkei RS9's on Nexen 225/40/18 from the Prelude I sold. Will eventually drop down to 17s.

Interior/Exterior Modifications:

Aftermarket racing seats with 4-point harnesses and harness bar. Removed back seats. Ebay short shifter with NRG shift knob. NRG E-brake handle. NRG removable Steering wheel adapter and wheel.

Carputer. Audiobahn amp, sub, fronts and rears. Pioneer DEH-P7300 Head unit. NRG short hub.

Kaminari carbon fiber hood chipped up at the corners. Hood struts.

Future Modifications:

Engine build with the customary Vitara/Eagle/ARP components to be able to safely utilize the turbo to it's fullest. Rear brake conversion (sitting in garage for 2 years now). Custom interior for deleted rear seats and trunk.
