Hey guys, new to the forums but not to the scene! Own a little performance shop in Kelowna BC with a couple good friends. I'll be documenting my winter build here because secrets suck. I think I'll handle this in separate chunks as opposed to small updates, should keep things cleaner.
This car is going to be a drift/demo car for me and my friends company GeneticTuning.
___________________________________
When I first received the car from Adam@Feast, it was an entry level car with a few problems and minimal modifications. These issues needed to be sorted before inspection.
Modifications were:
-ATS & Across 2 way limited slip differential.
-HKS Pod filter.
-HKS Super Dragger Exhaust.
-Greddy turbo timer.
-A/M front pipe.
-Tein adjustable suspension.
-Nismo sport clutch.
-Mismatched Advan AVS wheels (rear) and Volk fronts.
-Greddy boost gauge.
-Unknown brand fstb.
-HKS bov.
Problems noted were:
-Completely worn out pads and deeply gouged rotors.
-Typical leaking water pump.
-All belts looking a little sorry.
-Holes in the trunk.
-Paint tired and dull.
-Mismatching front seats.
And here she was in landed condition, sat like this all winter;

Come summer I decided I'd get her on the road. Failed my first inspection, no surprise there, but thought I'd give it a shot. Car wasn't starting after I got home from that first inspection, time to troubleshoot.
So in order to get the car moving and pass inspection did the following;
-Swapped leaking water pump w/ oem replacement.
-Swapped out exhaust cam w/ oem replacement.
-Swapped out CAS w/ oem replacement.
-New oem ECU.
-New fuel filter.
-Ditched Greddy boost gauge (broken).
-Tossed on matching pair of front wheels (painted them all white).
-Wired up horn.
-Tossed in matching front seats (Gts-t oem).
-Wired up my DRLs.
-New oem rotors and pads.
-Fiberglassed all cracks in my bumper.
-Tossed on AMS RUCAs and FUCAs.
-20 new oem wheels studs.
-20 Trust aluminum lugs.
-Tomei timing belt, oem (PitWork) replacement ancillary belts.
-Welded trunk holes up and shaved rear trunk lock.
-New drivers side seatbelt.
-New wipers.
After all this boring garbage she passed inspection and was drivable. Proceeded to do this that very same day;
Fun little slide w/ the boys. Very pleased w/ performance, and that LSD sends me sideways in a hurry. The car hiding behind mine is a RWD mid engine Accord, very trick. Buddy's built FD as well to the right.

After driving around like this for a while and drifting on a regular basis, decided to toss on what I had sitting in the garage.
Here's what I fitted:
-Type-M sideskirts and rear spats.
-ARC intercooler.
-ApexI intake.
-Removed leaking HKS bov. (Reverted to stock)
-Fitted Personal steering wheel. (Classic Nismo horn button)
-Installed NRG quick release hub.
-Fitted Razo weighted shift knob.
-Fitted Razo pedals. (Go ahead and laugh I love how grippy they are)
-Tossed on Razo broadview mirror.
-Removed rear seat.
-Painted calipers red.
-Dropped the coilovers to lowest height.
And that's how the car sits at this moment. (Minus the coilovers which I sold).
