[tyoung_ms3]

Well, First off, I just want to say I am terrible at updating these things, But I will do my best. Gunna have to dig deep in order to find pictures from the beginning. But ill get moving on that as soon as I get the chance, and hopefully have everyone up to date shortly!

 

[tyoung_ms3]

Alright I'm going to try to start out from as early as I can. Bear with me as getting pictures together has proved to be a challenge all in its own lol
[doublepost=1456776781][/doublepost] This is what she looked like the day I bought her!

Nothing but a SRI installed!

I decided to plastidip the wheels gold. And I liked it for a bit.

Then I went through a sticker phase. Dont worry I'm out of that hahaha.

Of course I had to figure out things to do to keep myself Occupied. Put in HID's Other than that I left it stock with just the SRI in it for about a year..
[doublepost=1456777781][/doublepost] Picked up a set of Rays TS06 18x9.5 and did some test fitting. Had me a bit worried at first with the amount of poke at stock height.

I Bought coilovers, and never actually put them on the car, as i decided to go bagged instead.

Here is what I could find of the air system install, obviously it was alot more involved than what is shown, But it was a great kit, and went in easy with no issues, Have about 20k on the kit and have had zero issues other than rubbing through a steel braided line with my wheel, which was my fault. Tons of work has been done since the install to get it to sit where I want it and drive the way I want it!

 

[tyoung_ms3]

Forgot to post how terrible it looked before I installed the bags. Stock height and wheel gap is hideous lol.

This was basically what it looked like before I went through and got it to sit the way I wanted it to. Most of these are immediately after Install of the Bags

 

[tyoung_ms3]

Some random pictures once I got the fitment to where I wnated it, as well as the final picture which is where I drive at ride height.

 

[tyoung_ms3]

Of course my car is getting up there in miles, so a few months ago I decided to do a valve clean which it badly needed!

 

[tyoung_ms3]

Decided While I had my manifold Off, Might as well get some color in the engine bay
Painted Brake Calipers to go along with the basic colors of the car.
Ported and Polished the Intake Manifold. full VCTS delete
ZX4-HDG6 Clutch Kit with the prolite flywheel
Obviously these are out of order, but the first Tune I put on the car!
Decided to go with something different for the exhaust Tip. 3 inch custom turbo back straightpipe.

Powdercoated Coil Cover

[doublepost=1456782345][/doublepost]Now I know most of you guys are most likely already hating me, but its okay, performance stuff is coming up I promise.
hahaha

Most of these are just random pictures from different Shows/Meets


This was from the yearly meet in Leavenworth, WA. Went for a spirited Drive. The Grey RX-8 up front is an REW swapped 13B putting out 460whp on 12PSI!
This was before Import Faceoff Seattle 2015

Then I had a nice lady in a jeep run me off of the road because she missed her on ramp. Gotta love these awesome seattle drivers. Luckily no damage besides my lip being ripped off, and vegetation underneath my car

And of course my awesome girlfriend cleaning my wheels, couldnt leave this one out.
[doublepost=1456875008][/doublepost]After going offroading i decide new tires should be in my future, as i never got it aligned after my bag install. and the camber wear was real

 

[tyoung_ms3]

I had wanted to do a manifold for a while, And I had the flanges sitting around so I decided to go for it
This was the first version, Had some issues with fitment, as it was too tall to get past the firewall, could have possibly worked if I removed the engine, But i wanted something that could be installed with much more ease.
As you can tell V2 is obviously much more compact. Went in with zero issues, A few little things to change for future models, however fitment is perfect!
Out with the ugly stocker and in with the new.

Finished product looks great and turns heads. Cleaned up the engine bay, with noticeable spool differences and sound.

The Engine bay has went through its share of changes, Gotta say, I like where it sits now, Needs some changes, Turbo time will hopefully be right around the corner, Supporting mods are out of the way. Meth and BT ill be happy. For a while.
