How about an update?
YES?
OK, well we have gotten some stuff done on the car.
since the last update we have finished up the rear subframe torn apart and had all the new suspension peices put on.
(this is an older pic)

here are the Epsilon wheels that we had redone.

got the car back on the ground in November?

i got some new tires for the car last week
(225/50/15 BFG Drag radials)
(205/55/15 BFG KDW II)

Had a friend who is good at welding come out and fix a few little problems that needed to be fixed. The core support had a little crack he fixed that, did some welding on the strut towers and a few other little things.
(no pics of that)
I had the tires and wheels mounted and balanced

a few weeks ago i picked up a East bear 8point roll cage.
(old pic from previous owner)

here is a pic of the cage in the car (only mocked up)

I've also got the Driveshaft, the wiring done by Tech 2 motorsports (waiting to install)
I have installed the new USDM waterpump and new serp belt and a new timing belt, as well as lightweight aluminum pulleys. I got the spark plug painted the same color as the wheels and installed that.

i put the wheels on the car last night to see how they would look with the blue lug nuts and it looks pretty good. now i just need some damn center caps!

front:

rear:

Tonight i will be swapping out the JDM 440cc injectors infavor of the USDM 550cc injectors, and if i have enough time i will also start to swap out the JDM twin turbo's for USDM twin turbo's

Flicktitty · 05-08-2009, 09:13 AM

got the Walbro 255 fuel pump installed. ripped out the cage and got that painted (not all done yet)

well got the USDM 550's swapped over,got the spark plugs changed out,the got the USDM turbo's put on and done. and modded the JDM heatsheild to "fit" LOL

got the motor wired up.

then went ahead and LIFTED

and dropped

it's a GREAT feeling to have it sitting in the car.

Sooooo sick!

clark · 05-08-2009, 09:47 AM

very nice, i like the thermostat on your tow hook lol.

it's nice to see a different build. some attention to detail but not over the top and an automatic!

Devil Man · 05-08-2009, 10:29 AM

very nice looking car and build. just really clean. also i love that color combo its the reason why i wish i had a grey car. good luck and keep it up!

Flicktitty · 05-08-2009, 11:36 AM

Thanks alot guys. i think the overall style of the car is starting to come together pretty well.

Flicktitty · 05-21-2009, 11:47 AM

had to order a few other things (3" T-bolt clamps, and 2.5" T-bolt clamps), a Greddy Speed cut control (dam JDM Ecu's hit speed cut at 111mph so that had to be taken care of. some new DP bolts and gaskets, as well as some roll cage gauge pods...

went out last night and finished up the wiring and finished doing the fuel lines. hooked all the battery cables up. tried to crank it, and NOTHING

shitty. well we then checked to see if the starter had power going to it and it was good, then we found a connecter had 0 power, so we decided to go ahead and jump it to see if it started!

first click as soon as it hit it started! and ran awesome for >30 seconds it ran

today i will have to figure out why the wire is dead and make that work. finish mounting up the Intercooler,put the fuel filter in. and i will be happy if it starts at will

then i'll have to start on the radiator and fans and the radiator hoses.

I wish my girlfriend was that cool....

nickmerrone · 05-21-2009, 01:42 PM

this thing is amazingtastic..i love your girl friend for wanting this..haha.

mrflip69 · 05-23-2009, 03:35 PM

"So fast, you'll shit" huh? Nice hehehe

Can't wait to hear how this thing drives. Saw you post @ 2jzswap. Sorry if I missed it, but what turbo(s) are you going to be running? Stock JDM twins? Stock USDM twins? Big single?

gsxr141 · 05-23-2009, 03:50 PM

those wheels came out sweet. awesome build there.

haha, yeah my buddy kevin wrote that on the window. and i'm using stock USDM turbo's on it. a little word of advice, if you get a 2JZ and you want a better turbo setup just go single right away, too many fucking hassles and money going stock us turbos, i thought it would be a cheap way of getting 400+RWHP ehhhhhhhhhh wrong

wow, your ganna blow the tires off that thing..
looks great though.

Flicktitty · 06-15-2009, 08:35 AM

haha, yeah there is a good chance, i'm hoping the drag radial aspect of it helps atleast a little.

Deftec · 06-15-2009, 04:31 PM

They won't hold

my 255's don't hold at all(mickey thompson's)

Flicktitty · 08-13-2009, 09:30 PM

i think it's time for an update had the car out on the 23rd of June and it was running ok.

it was loading up with fuel and not really goin anywhere (it needs a tune, should be going to sound performance soon) And it developed a cooling issue that we had to adress, so we figured might as well just call and get it towed home rather then potentially doing more harm to it.

still needs an exhaust made,USDM cam's installed,boost cut controller,speed cut controller,boost controller,turbo timer and a tune/dyno and it will be DONE DONE DONE DONE DONE!
but we've had the car out and about a little bit since thursday night, and it seems to run pretty good.
pics.

more pics to come tomarrow,after it get's out of the exhaust shop.

and before anyone comes in here saying needs more low, well it can't. the sway bar spacer it has on it so the sway bar clears the oil pan makes the sway bar rub the front tension rod if it's any lower then it is :ghey: but i'm thinking of going back to stock sway bars to set the car down some more.

Flicktitty · 08-14-2009, 07:07 AM

forgot the vids...

quick rundown of mods.

3" Tanabe Downpipe,Godspeed Intercooler W/ custom piping,Custom Intake pipe with K&N Filter,550cc USDM supra injectors,USDM Twin turbos, J-spec cams. So the car is mostly stock and UNTUNED. on stock boost (6-8psi)

It will have the usdm cam's in the car in the next week or two,along with a boost controller set to 17psi and exhaust and a few other things

Shame on me for not keeping up with this thread.

Looks awesome man. I wanna come out by you one day and take a looksey.

Flicktitty · 08-14-2009, 07:30 AM

hell yeah, Liz actually lives up in Menomonee falls, so once everything is buttoned up it will be close(er) to you.

conrad_s13.5 · 08-14-2009, 08:53 AM

looks sick man!.......but,.........auto!?!?!?

winter · 08-14-2009, 08:59 AM

tranny suprise

Flicktitty · 08-14-2009, 09:13 AM

lol, yeap it's auto....not much else to say about it.

R154's are good tran's but getting expensive because of the demand, and the V160 is just outragously priced. plus the women isn't a big driving stick person,plus this will go plenty fast for her for now.

*exitspeed* · 08-14-2009, 09:17 AM

The only way those wheels could be any cooler is if you did the color in reverse. Pink lips. Especially for a girl. Pink lips.

lol, yeah those wheels need to be wider. i'm hoping to send them out this winter to get them to be about 9" wide

Flicktitty · 08-14-2009, 09:46 AM

Csomme · 08-14-2009, 09:48 AM
