Damn nice.Just needs some paint to go with those wheels.

lookin GOOOOD!!! get that front bumper painted ;-)

she's gonna be primered black for a bit, got a few odds and ends i wanna do before i go splurge on a fancy paint job.



those wheels are really nice, can you believe they only cost me $200 bucks with 225 Kuhmo 712's on them already.



oh, if anyonw knows someone or has an s5 stock intercooler please pm me with a price. i need something to tide me over till i get my front mount setup sorted out.



Loi

nice man.

whats wrong with your current IC?

yeah man that looks damn good https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

the pipe my bov is on that feeds into the s4 IC is 2inches in diameter, the inlet of the s4 is about 1 3/4. i believe the s5 IC has a 2 inch inlet which will give me a better seal between the pipe and IC, i believe its leaking boost currently.



Loi

Did you have a template or something to notch the 12a crossmember, or did you just buy the RB crossmember?

its a GSL-SE, i just used the stock crossmember.



Loi



p.s. pretty good condition for being a $250 car with a blown rear rotor.

I haven't really looked for how to notch the crossmember in my '85 yet, but I thought I would ask you first!

wish i could help ya, i just lucked out on finding this chassis behind a honda shop near me.

my $10 momo steering wheel

and a really crappy shot of my apexi boost gauge.

So what made you go TII instead of Cosmo? Cost?

yea, i got such a good deal on this TII motor. $1150 shipped, i couldn't pass it up.



Loi

That's pretty good...the Cosmo I want is $2150 shipped...I still haven't decided for sure what I want to do though.

hopefully this motor lasts a year, i'd like to get used to driving the car before i do any crazy power mods. if everything goes well i should have either a wild street port or half bridge port motor next year some time.



Loi

Thats my goal.1-2 years on it before a wild Ito-spec port job.Then crank up my T04E. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif I plan to make C5's my bitches. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png
