UPDATED! new parts should go on the car pretty soon






Wrapped my wheels in brand new Yoko Avid Envigor... love them!

 

There's also lots of stuff coming for her this summer! i can't wait to start!

Brakes







Under the Hood







To have a little more fun



and more fun through the twisties

 

Looks like you're going to have one heck of a mod day haha

 

Quality parts there. She will be nice with those. That is one heck of a mod day, you might want to get help.

 

lol... hopefully i'll give myself more than 1 day to complete all of this...
there is also spark plugs, headers and bars on the way! I also did springs last year, so bolts should be easier to remove!

My girlfriend will be helping (moral support mostly) she's not mechanically inclined, but i'm glad that she's interested in what i do on the car and she wants to learn!

I also have a friend who's a student mechanic, just in case!

 

hey, let us know the quality about AMR, i wanted to try them out on my Integra, but didn't want to take the risk as i've never heard of them (only saw them on Honda-Tech like 2 years ago)

 

^you bet i will! I liked the fact that the pistons are bigger than any other companies, and i did lots of research on many other forums with great comments! After doing extensive search, i finally found a negative review on a Lady Z forum, a guy who had ordered a set for both his car and his wife's... he said they made noises and was pissed at Andy, after having disassembled the shocks twice, nothing was found... until Andy took a look at the cars and was able to find both problems!

Here is a list of what i have to do this summer:

-Install coil-overs from AMR engineering (alignement & corner balance)
-Finish wheels & wrap with Yokohama ADVAN Envigor
-Install strut bar & lower tie bar from KMR
-Install DC sport Headers & make an exhaust delete
-Install Denso IK22 (with indexing washers)
-Change pads for Ferodo DS2500, install Power slot Cryo rotors, T1R stainless steel brake lines, ATE premium blue DOT4 Fluid
-Install Top Fuel Power Chamber with carbon fiber cover
-Flush rad & install T1R silicon hoses
-Install T1R Short shifter & Strut King hard bushings
-Install clutch hard line
-Put AMSoil synchromesh
-Adjust valves
-Make a catch can and a Beatrush underpanel

stay tuned!

 

Congrats! Nice GD3! My 09 GE8 just passed the 60,000 mark two weeks ago.

 

good looking parts

 

Installed my T1R short shifter today with my strutking hard bushings!!! shifting is super short and crisp

 

What is the red car in the background of the first picture? Is it some kind of kit for an old vette?

Nice SSM, I am in the process of getting all my parts for my SSM for a mod day as well.

 

Thanks! ^this is a sterling kit car!

 

finally painted my wheels! I still don't have a clue of how much they weight, but they're lighter than my heliums!

btw... sorry for crappy cell phone pics

on primer:



With bronze paint and catalysed matte clear:



and MAK wheels i painted gunmetal (duplicolor wheel paint) for a friend, they will go on a blue Yaris, i almost want to keep them :

 

The new bronze wheels are like 10x better. I wish you painted it royal bronze though.

 

Thanks a lot!
only have two of them though... (and they seem kinda rare) so i tried to get a close color match... the crappy picks hide the flaws in the paint job, froom close-up, it does'nt look that good, but i'm happy with the result!
but what is royal bronze? from what i've googled, it seems it has tones of copper...

I'll post pics when they're on the car (been delayed by a snow storm this week)! the light wheels and sticky tires should make a great combo it should be a hell of a lot of fun to drive! but i'll have to get out the car someday... at least to stop the gas station

Yur incredibility honest ma/man,,, as long as yur happy-that's all that matterz! I'm shua they will look awesome once mounted.

 

royal bronze have some sorta of darker gold shade in it, sorta like this


Bronze looks more yellowish.

 

@vinny: thanks mang! really can't wait to have them on, but weather is so crappy...

@cadenamezero: grrrrrrrr... these are sexy as hell!

 

Yup, i always loved royal bronze, sucks that not many good looking rims comes with that color. royal bronze is so nice on pretty much any color too, they look great on red, black, championship white, vivid blue, grey/gunmetal...

when i win the lottery, i am so getting myself some te37

 

Some new updates

Headers DC sports ceramic coated:



IK22 Denso spark plugs:



stainless clutch hard-line:



finally, my wheels ready to install!







Final result! The tires stick like crazy and the light wheels are completely mind blowing!
