Hi All,

Well I am back after a couple of years with different chassis.
I managed to get my hands on 1 of maybe 10 cars in my country (after being stupid and selling mine :) ).
This was mine.

Lets say the new car is a very very rough state.

I started gathering parts a couple months ago, mostly from companies I distribute here (gets the costs down for the build for sure :naughty: )
Cusco, Tomei, GReddy, Endless, Work Wheels, Enkei, Ikeya-F, WALD and more. I installed a lot of the suspension components already but will leave the bushings for a bit later.
Some parts are still in a container on their way so no pics.
Purpose of the build - Street, autox, mountain carver .
HP goals - fast spooling 320-330 rwhp.
Car has a 6spd in it already. I opted for that as it will be the basis for a built 6 speed. Sold the 5spd.

Suspension/Handling
Cusco, more Cusco and some SPL and Ikeya-F stuff.
Street Zero A Coilovers revalved to suit my needs.
All the suspension arms,, sway bars, CF/TI Strut bars and chassis braces available from Cusco. Not legal here to ride around with a full cage in a street car so have to use what I can. Need to find a good fender brace which is lite and strong.
Also have some S15 Spec R Factory bracing which will also be added.
Obligatory diff and subframe bushings.
Cusco RS LSD, probably at 80% 1.5way (with 2 way option). This part is a bit tricky as seems our cars over here came with a VLSD which is configured a bit different than what cusco has on file. Stub shafts are sized differently and other componets are a bit different in size.. went through this with a customers car and was able to build one working diff out of 2 we ordered so just need to get the info to cusco to build one from the factory according to what we need.

Cooling - Greddy S14 racing radiator, Greddy FMIC, Greddy oil pan, Greddy Oil Cooler kit for s14...
Electronics - Apexi Power FC D-Jetro which I am just addicted to due to simplicity and it provides all I need from an EM pov. GReddy Multi DA gauges of all sorts. GReddy new Profec.
Wheels - Work Emotion Kiwami (ultimate) - 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 (i think :) cant recall right now exactly. Work Meister S1 3p 19x10 and 19x11. yes will need body work but still haven't really decided on what I will go with.
Brakes - Well if some may recall the rear and front sti brake upgrades which If I recall Krinkov stared and I ran from there with the rear sti calipers and a real cool bracket for the fronts, atleast was cool back then :) . Well this time around I may not be going down that path. I still need to decide but one things for sure I will be using Endless MX72 for the street stuff.
What else......... well JDM Kouki front end conversion for sure as well as rear Kouki JDM bumper and probably Zenki side skirts. I dont think I will be going down the body kit route but I may just change my mind.
