    I just did fully poly bushings on my GTS-T. I used the same S13 Energy Suspension kit as you have shown and pretty much everything is used with the exception of the front arms. While i was at it I just swapped the Hicas subframe out for an S13 unit as well and replaced those bushings with the ES ones too.

    It was pretty time consuming since I didnt have access to a press but should feel way better than the 20yr old factory rubber bushings.

      Yea that's what i was thinking haha it'll feel like a new car. I have after market upper control arms and their squeaking a little so I'm hopping a dip in ATF for a day will help them out. And i know they will take some time to do so ill pick away at them over the winter, gonna be a fun time trying to burning the subframe ones out lol.

        Little update, when i got off work at 9:30 tonight i found a note on my car.

        freaked when i found it walked around the car for 5 minutes... couldn't see any big dents or anything but the cars dirty so im going to give a good wash and hope there's no real damage. (and the other possibility could be that someone's fu*king with me.) but after walking around the car I took the note to the mall security and their going to be looking through the video severance.

        Other then that, my shift and e-brake boot showed up, put them on and its a huge difference.

        After


        Also an update on my wing i bought.

        took a blowgun to it.. and pretty much took off half of the paint on the top side lol
        oh well i hope to have the wing fully refinished by the end of the week but we will see what happens.

                  The coil overs ride great for the price, but anything was better then what I had aha.
                  And when I remade my quarters it was kinda lucky that I could fit my wheels in the back.

                    So much respect for the work you've done. It takes a lot of commitment to see a project like this through.

                        End of the season update

                        So after Getting the front facing plenum I started to do some thinking and decided to build a motor and I ended up buying a second motor at the beginning of September.
                        Allowing me to drive and do little things to the car over the summer, but mostly I just enjoyed having the car.
                        I did end up having trouble with my coil packs, and the coil pack harness had melted to the first two coil packs so brand new OEM coil packs were ordered and coil pack harness


                        I had also ordered a 3"down pipe and an aftermarket elbow from the turbo, I had also gotten the back windows tindeed as well as picked up a 3" Cipher harness.

                        Some pictures taken throughout the year















                        PS. I fixed my lights the day after

                          Now its time to spend all the money, the plans for next seasons motor is:
                          • BorgWarner S200SX 7670 Turbo
                          • Undecided on a exhaust manifold
                          • Synapse engineering WG to eliminate my Apexi AVCR
                          • Get the block honed and cleaned
                          • Pistons, bearings and rod bolts
                          • Im getting some Supertec oil pump spline gears

                          (http://www.skylife4ever.com/search/label/RB26%20engine)
                          • 6 puck sprung clutch
                          • Im going to need to find an AFM
                          • Also going to need to look for some injectors


                          Im planning on dropping off the bottom end to have it cleaned, and assembled hopefully at the end of this week or the beginning of next.

                          I also ordered myself a vtec controller for my vtec thats not hooked up at the moment

                          (VCT RPM window switch)

                                Little new year update;
                                I started to disassemble the engine in prep to pull it when i have a chance to drop my motor off at the engine builder.
                                On Facebook i follow Full Race and seen they were having a sale for 3 days or so.
                                I called and spoke with them for about 10 minutes talking about my power goals, and the turbo I had been looking at fit the bill quite nicely. Lol so i gave him my visa and ordered a BorgWarner S200SX 7670. The same day i got an update on my spline gears from Supertec, and they landed in Montreal. But other then a few things the motor is ready to be pulled, cant wait










                                Found this with the wires cut, not sure what it is^
