Many of you have seen and/or been a part of this build over the last 5! years. Yup, five years kiddos. I bought this bone stock in 2012 with 33k miles (and low compression in #3 out of the gate). This isn't a build thread as much as a here's where I am now, and I'll update as I go along from here on out. The chassis is at 145k miles, and the new motor has been modded since 0 miles (79k) in perfect health.

Mods:
Factory fresh long block @ 79k miles after original lost compression in one cylinder
LUK clutch + Fidanza flywheel
HTP 3" intake + small battery tray
Grimmspeed 3-port EBCS in 3-port
BNR S3 v2
CPE-FMIC piping with treadstone TRV1859 IC
Synapse Diverter valve
Guardian Angel
Coolingmist CMGS meth controller with failsafe
Pre TB D03/D05 50/50 meth/water injection
Corksport IM
Speedperformance valve cover breather
Damond OCC
Autotech internals
Derale HD FAN controller
CP-E catted downpipe
Custom catback w/dual magnaflows
Turbine tech front rear diff mount / SURE top rear diff mount
Damond RMM / CS inserts on TMM
Bilstein B6s with H&R springs
Brembo BBK with fedoro pads
Full synthetic fluids, AMSOIL signature synthetic every 6k
18x8.5 +48 Rota SVNs (+5mm spacers in front to clear BBK)
235/40R18 HTR ZIII
Morimoto projector retrofit fresh lenses and Morimoto LED projectors

Couple other odds and ends. I tried to keep the motor pretty plain and let it do its job.

Well whattya know; I, too, run some Sumi HTR ZIII's.

But tell us moooore about that IM, CS is still keeping pretty hush-hush about it.
 
I'm under NDA, but I'm sure CS will share my findings when they get it all worked out. I have to pull it for smog soon so I'm gonna get it cleaned up and powdered I think.
 
Been following you since the "other" thread. Do you use Amsoil in the drivetrain as well.

An Amsoil man usually runs Amsoil in everything. Not because it's always better, but because stubborn.

I know becuz.... I do too...

Well, I've had a license to buy and run it other cars. Never had put it in the 6 tho. Will give it a run after the rebuild.

I know the shop puts synthetic in trans and rear axle when I have the fluids changed every 30k miles. I'm not sure what they used. It's a good shop so I'm sure they use decent stuff.
