HCR32 spring '10

[jessem]

Well I just got my car back on the road today, feels nice to get out of the beater. Did some stuff over the winter so I figured an update is in order.

List of parts before this winter
Apex'i intake
front mount
turbo back exhaust
Steel head gasket
ARP head studs
rb25 turbo
Tein flex coilovers
shadybeaver chip
Momo wheel
17inch works

This winter
17x9 +15 fn01r wheels
Thick rear sway bar
end links
solid subframe bushings
shimmed r200 diff
Powder coated subframe
Complete hicas removal
removed clutch box
removed rear wiper
removed carbon canister
New gauge set up

Then tune up stuff like plugs, o2, set tps, etc

As well i alligned it myself, something i always wanted to try and it turned out really well, i didnt set castor, but camber and toe, which were my two main concerns are right where i want it. My ride height im very happy with too, fairly low with a base height drop but im still keeping decent stroke on the shocks, as well i can drive around with out ripping my lip off. Surprisingly it drives perfectly straight down the road, which is something i was concerned it but it feels just like a shop did it with a laser setup.

I was hoping to paint it this year but infortunatly budget didnt allow.

anyways heres some pics.

Nice ride man... It kinda reminds me of my ride in the beginning
What kinda plans you got for this car??

This looks beautiful, I really like the guage/switch setup there

Thanks guys,

Well im slowly building the 20, but ideally id like to do some kind of engine swap eventually. Maybe build this with parts that could work on a 25, never know. Finally out of school this year so hopefully ill be making some real cash.

Just ordered a sard bov, good price, and comes w/ and install kit for the rb20 so I couldnt argue with that. I need one so i can hold boost above 11 or 12 psi. Hopfully be here in a week or two.

Nice car man. Looks real clean. And I'm jealous of your wingless. I think we should organize a Calgary meet soon

I enjoy a well kept and put together HCR, not enough of them at all these days.

I think i'll stick to the rwd fun, i like a little wheel spin. Ha!


Thanks Austin, Im still considering some kind of kit in the future but im not sure what i want, I flip between a gtr front bumper, and matching kit and a true aftermarket kit every day.
