[robunicu]

So many people on here know and met me before but not everyone knows the coupe. and since everyone and their grandma has a built thread i decided to join the bandwagon. not the craziest build but its my quest for happiness so bare with me

so i bought the car last year in november from some1 on tamparacing.com

so after swapping ka's and stripping the interior and fixing all the lil shits that was wrong with it i got some coils

then had to get the car all one color and white seemed like a good idea. so went to lowes and got some exterior house paint and a roller and the car was white in no time.

i still need some good wheels to pull it off tho. this are too small.

then i just couldn't take it w/o boost. N/A was just killing me, so the motor had to come out to be preped for boooooosssssst.

Nice Project coming along

[ChiSleepyEyes]

needs more cowbell lol, but overall very impressive!!! i cant wait till i see more!

[silviachik420]

You need more zip ties!!!!

[w0nderbr3ad]

fitment is good w/ your bumper. good start. keep it up.

[180sxdrifter]

what are you planning to use for tune?

[SoCal-s130]

Uras replica bumper.

[5150Fab]

yikes, what is that an ssautocrome manifold. I would look for a cast turbo manifold or somthing, that thing sucks. It will crack. Expecially with heat wrap, keeps the heat inside mani.

Otherwise looking pretty cool. a lot better than how it started thats for sure haha. glwb

[RastaS14]

builds looking good so far! though that bumper is huge and gaudy

[Marcus]

the zipties holding the heat wrap on the mani are temp right?


keep it comin.

[silviachik420]

the zipties holding the heat wrap on the mani are temp right?


keep it comin.


yeah i was thinking the same thing, i was thinking hes just got those their till he can put the metal clips that go on that stuff

[pinky121388]

Nice build so far.. lol Those Nismo or Sard 555cc injectors?

[lflkajfj12123]

NOT bn sports.....

uras knockoff

and....

you're gonna melt your zipties, BRO.

[Exas Spec D]

I'm guessing those zipties on the heatwraps are just temporary till you get metal ones.

[robunicu]

hey guys. took forever to get this thread approved. thought they denied it. wtf

well yes, i bought the kit a while ago and didnt use it and forgot, it indeed is a uras type 4 knock off. fitment is pretty good tho'.

the heatwrap was just to see how it looks but no heatwrap on now.

this car has been trought a lot hehe:)

as far as tune. mr Scott from RS enthelaphy will be tuning this biotch so im sure it will run right.
ill have more updates after the hollidays
