Hello everyone,

Basically I have been documenting a build thread on JDMST over the past several months for my S15. Progress has been slow...but one day, I will get there. I will copy it to here until it is up to date.

Update #1 - 12-09-12 01:53 AM

Picked up a stock standard example after looking for several months. It is 100% straight, all original panels and all original paint. There are lots of accident damaged S15's out there unfortunately so it usually takes a while to find a nice one (if you know what you're looking for).

And the infamous Initial D episode...

My main focus is response and handling. The tuning concept for the car is "Bakemono" - which basically means monster or ghost - and sort of like an evil spirit. The build will predominately utilise Japanese parts.

So in other words, the car is being built for a purpose, that is, it will be a sleeper. There will be little focus placed on aesthetics. The car will be left looking relatively stock on the outside so I don't draw attention (attention can be good, but it can also be bad and come from the wrong people).

I've got a stack of parts waiting to be installed, but here is the most recent arrival.

I have some more stuff in transit from Japan at the moment and some other current inventories.

Will update the thread every so often once things begin progressing.
