http://www.sr20forum.com/showthread.php?t=161103
Plans:
Rebuilding the wilwoods and putting new drilled 11" rotors
Crystal Clear headlights
Almera bumper n14 (I believe) I have a friend in the uk
Bodywork to line up hood and paint mathing on driver's side..
new ac condensor
painting the cai flat black
grounding kit
wrap the fuji (its gotten a little surface rust)
repaint valve cover at some point
magnacore spark plug wires and full tune up
Otherwise car doesn't need much:
As far as I know it comes with the sr16ve cams, jw ecu, fuji, 2.5 in cat back

lalito 09-23-2006, 03:44 PM Yup, I know who's it was. I compression checked it and it was 235,235, 235, 232... made me smile.
blairellis 09-23-2006, 03:49 PM You got an awesome car. Daniel is a great guy. I talk with him on a regular basis. You couldnt be getting a better car.
Congrats bro.
EDIT** BTW, that car scared the heck out of me when Daniel drove it around a corner once. I thought for sure we were going to spin. It just kept on going and going. You might want to check the passenger side seat for some brown skid marks ;)

OnyxEros 09-25-2006, 04:32 PM cool, where are you getting the almera bumper from?
lalito 09-25-2006, 04:44 PM Uk, My sister lives there...
HkSBlueBird4u 09-25-2006, 05:11 PM lalito didnt u have a b13 with VE?
lalito 09-25-2006, 09:16 PM I did, sold it for almost the price I got this one. I'd post pics but my mainframe is down. It was black with a full xenon bodykit molded and blended with the bumpers. d2 coilovers, ssac header, cai, greddy mss, calum ecu. Sold it to a guy in nc
Only thing I think is better on my old car is the calum ecu-- car felt just as fast as this one with that ecu. Oh, and I liked the greddy mss.
This car has the fuji header, jw ecu, and sr16 cams quiafe, more streetable suspension (less stiff), and will have the wilwoods once I get the parts for rebuilding the calipers. The b13 did feel faster around the corners with the d2 7/5 setup, but to stiff for city driving.
Overall I liking the green machine better (its more civil), but I haven't had a chance to drive it much because I need to get it through Inspection (witch is a beatch in MD). Any one know of any mod friendly inspeciton shops let me know-- mostly its the suspension that is at issue.
tHe iLleSt RiCe 09-25-2006, 09:29 PM DONT wrap the fuji header though
nice car by the way
lalito 09-26-2006, 01:01 AM I've heard mixed things about it. Don't plan on running cai as this will be more of a daily driver. Since they are stainless steel, I figure they should hold up if I do it correctly. I plan to get all the rust off the primaries first and then coat them with something, then maybe wrap them...
Anyone else have an opinion on this.
STRATTON 09-26-2006, 01:05 AM wrapping them will only make them rust faster, as the wrap will hold/lock in the moisture.
i suggest removing them, getting them sand blasted and get them ceramic coated.

lalito 10-02-2006, 07:23 PM Finally go it on the cardomain site. Here it is with new headlights. Engine shots to come:
