ok ive had this car on and off since 08 been back and forth thru friends traded and stripped and hard times wasted alot of money on this damn thing and it should have been done along time ago well now ive got it back i want to finish it .. its not going to be anything real special just going to be a decent dd i can enjoy ..

the car started off stock with a gsr skunk2 susp and greddy catback

when i had fall off of 08
226897

then 09 after trading and got it back and put it back together to have a ride had a ls with a gsr tranny
226898
226899

i rode like that for awhile was wanting another hatch or coupe but then in feb this happened courtesy of my roomate and his gto he backed in it in the driveway
226900
226901

so that was 2400 dollars worth of damage so i took the check and wanted to do something i wanted to do for a long time .. ive owned a bunch of tegs and rocked the us front for way too long.... flame all you want i dont care im not jumping on no bandwagon im doing this just for me and me only

[Genji-Sama]

Wow, JDM front looks pretty sick.

[-EnVus-]

[inutero93]

thanks alot for the comments .. cant wait to get it finished ..

[jesus bonill]

dang!!

take your time and dont skip any details homie, no matter how long it takes...

[thinkskater]

very nice. good to see your putting the effort in to make it nice. reps

[LokiSays]

indeed shits gonna look good if u don't cut any corners.

[inutero93]

thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!

[jesus bonill]

i never had a turbo and kinda wanting to play with one maybe like 6 -8 pounds

a turbo GSR motor would be nice for the 4 door at 8 pounds, not super fast, but it should get you out of some sticky situations

or LS-T:thinking:

yeah i was thinking the same thing i would like to go back to a c1 because it is a db8 but i would do ls-t or maybe a b20 t but i know b20 will need a lil more security for that

[LokiSays]

I have a b20 for more than 2 years. It's strong if you don't cheap out on parts. Never had a problem mechanically. But then my own friend rear-ended me on Saturday. T_T

[trini_gsr]

nice work! i have a white db8 too...i've been kinda on the fence about getting a JDM front (i think they make our cars look too much like accords). BUT seeing it on your car is making me 2nd guess myself lol...

and definitely go boost, mine has been boosted for years, and there aren't many 4-dr boosted tegs out there. as long as u put the same detail into the turbo kit that you're putting into everything else, you'll be fine and it'll last a long time...

[Elbow]

Looks like quality work.

[amandDA]

looks really good so far.

[Da_unknown]

well done

[mistergou]

looks good!!

[inutero93]

:goodjob: thanks!!!!

[sti_cham]

thats awesome, u got something good outa ur friend backing up into you lol car looks good

[Franco Tirador]

props for the work

[singhondeck]

JDM front end on 4 doe is sexy ftw

[Grimm Reeper]

can't wait to see the end result....... I know a guy who can get those dents out for you :ninja: elohel

[inutero93]

thanks everyone!!! me and my friend both went to school to do body work so we will be taken care of it ...


looks like im going to go b20 with me gsr tranny because im having a hard time trying to find a good deal on a c1 and i dont really see my self spending 1600.00 just to have vtec .. i would if i had the cash but funds are tight i have other stuff i need to get for the car to get it going .. im not try to cut corners im just trying to be pratical .. plus im bumming rides and it sucks ..... but if i go b20 i will end up throwing some boost on it down the road

[inutero93]

just picked up a c1 with a lil over 100k for 800 minus the dizzy with post pics when i get it out of the van and in daylight

[inutero93]
