Wii's Last Build, Washington, Seattle

[skygtr]

I was going to wait until the completion of this project, but since it is the begining of Spring 2011, I will just share this with you guys, before the world explodes LOL. It has been a long long long....build, til this day, the car have been undergoing wrenching time, shop time, and overall major work. I would like to say thanks to all the friends that have been involved with this project and it wouldn't be how it is without you guys. And to the special person that have put up with my crap for years...you know who you are :mwink:

Purchased this car in 2002 for 2003 type S model. Had 1 mile on it when I signed the papers and drove it off the lot.

What the car has gone through until now

Nice upgrade for the rear brakes, bigger and should fill up my rear wheel nicely.



Bought a bunch of wiggins clamshell clamps to get welded on my intercooler pipings.


Started on stripping the car down to bare...excuse my fat ass trying to work lol The sunroof was completely removed, getting ready for the DC5R roof skin to show up.

more stuff came in around April 2010

Volks TE37 17x9.5 +12offset



Dunlop Dirreza Star spec 235/40/17 tires got mounted on. Thinking I would need to switch them out to something more wider, 255/40, 275/40...you guys will see why later


Got these in May or so....

DC5R tailights, intake cover for looks lol, DC5R Ebrake


DC5R roof skin showed up along with Mugen hood? Its my buddy ep3 mugen hood, mine is still on order



So far collected a lot of more stuff....APR extended studs, oem bumper brackets, headlight brackets, tailight brackets, Recaro DC5R seat rails....all poppin tags so far, the fresh smell of brand new parts is kinda addicting....

With these wheels, made my stoptech looks like stock brakes....new ones are coming

Wow massive build, what's the plan for the car? Track or drag or just for fun?

[skygtr]

It will be a track and weekend car. Although it might be an overkill on road driving. Stay tune there are more pics coming!

[skygtr]

Off topic but well got some down time so worked on this for a bit...





Took off my stoptech bbk and make it work on it



Buddy's EP3

[skygtr]

waiting on more things to come....


My custom brackets for the calipers getting made, hopefully I will be getting them soon...



Brake setup will be 332mm x 32mm rotors 2 piece, Mugen micro mesh brake lines are coming. Endless brake pads on order. I don't know what I should do as of deleting the ABS or relocate it. I know EncoreDC5 makes the kit for relocation, but would it be better off if i keep the ABS or delete the sucker....So brake experts, chime in if you have input please!

Took a couple more pics of how she is sitting right now, waiting and waiting....
