Cool updates Josh, I love the spoiler/garnish combo!

As for the drivetrain losses, I had heard previously it was close to 30% for AWD, 20% for RWD, and between about 15% for FWD, assuming everything is in good working condition. Isn't that fairly accurate? That'd put a 200 BHP engine around 170 WHP, if those numbers are correct...

So kind of an update with a couple small updates and a prequel to a new stance.

My long awaited button swap. I have been wanting to do this for years. quite literally, but finally got around to it. was not as straight forward as I thought it would be. I thought the buttons would be able to swap right over. Nope had to cut, melt, and glue them together. and the switches were completely different as well, just was not swapable that way either. But happy with the outcome none the less.





Crappy pic, the sun was too bright, but switch installed and MS vents now installed as well.




The prequel to the new stance. Rear coil ... bye bye helpers



addition of 10mm spacers and cusco camber plates in the rear as well. Pics to follow soon

[Josh]

Really why you gotta do that!.. I watched them for over a week and contacted the seller to see if he would ship to the US. I picked them up for 1 Euro + shipping... haha but shipping was like 60 Euro

Germany ebay these are the items I was asking if I could have sent to you if needed I knew they existed but have been looking for a while. they did not have them here in the US for some reason but they did in the UK and other areas of the world. next item is the trunk mat. I will find one.

hhmmmm...more to my shopping list. I found a trunk mat a year ago but the guy was pick up only and he was in the UK. Ill pick up a car that far with JDM goodies but not a mat. The wife would kill me. Shes already mad i bought a whole car imported from japan to the UK.

[Josh]

haha yeah I know how that goes.

[kulluminati777]

haha yeah I know how that goes.

yeah i told the dude i would pay ANYTHING for shipping but he wouldnt do it.....what a chump

[wagZE]

I want your suspension Josh, the switch looks better too I think way more subtle.

[fowljesse]

Oh man. I am laughing at myself. I just now read your worklog ( well, the beginning). I didn't know you bought Whisper's car! I thought it seemed like his, but never thought more about it. We swapped cars for a drive a long time ago in Seattle. I'm looking forward to the rest of this worklog!

[Josh]

haha yeah , I have bunches more that will be done to this car over the next few months, have a MS muffler and refab exhaust, MS front bumper, fogs, KLG4 IM, my new redesigned headlights, some killer OE parts for the interior and new headliner to boot. This winter I will install a nice alarm and new head unit and re design of speaker door pods. As well as dyna mat everything under the sun ooh ooh and new rare OE rebadging along with custom front and rear big brake kit and 1" master upgrade.
