Nice project! I'm new here, but read the thread start to finish... I enjoyed the pics. Wish I had the time/space/money to have a project car. Kudos!

This is long overdue for an update.

In addition to finishing the turbo kit I've been working on getting the car to handle and stop better. I now have two sets of wheels and tires. Konig Renegades w/ Nitto NeoGens and Spoon SW388s w/ Bridgestone Potenza RE01Rs. Function and Form Type 2 Coilovers and PIC RLCAs are installed. Camber kits, ITR sway bars and an ASR subframe brace are waiting to be installed front and rear. Next I'll be getting 4x100 ITR brakes.

Updates for the turbo kit include an SFP stainless log manifold, TiAL 38mm wastegate, Garrett GT2860R turbo, GReddy Type-S bypass valve, and a 3" exhaust. Getting the downpipe fabricated is my next goal. I'm still shooting to have the turbo kit on by January.

I took a couple quick point and shoot pictures since everyone keeps asking. The Krylon Italian Olive has held up fairly well for the last 3-4 years. It needs to be gone over with a fresh coat again at some point. New corner lights and lug nuts to go along with the SW388s.

Engine bay looks the same except for A/C and some Spoon accessories.

Thanks for looking. I'll have more updates coming along soon.

I'm more than glad you were able to get my old SPOON wheels. Looks great Rob, keep up the good work and let me know if you ever need more help to get this beast finished!

Looking good man!
