So aside from working on the motor and stuff, I have been collection some goodies that will hopefully go on the car real soon. big plans for the outside and inside. but need to get the motor done right... but I figured I would share what WILL be going on the car eventually.

Got some springs to lower the car a little bit, don't need monster truck for ever. Will just go onto m R1 shocks for now. down the line I can always upgrade.

Also picked up a extra set of clean tail lights... soon to be 99spec converted when I find time to hang out with Theorie and do them. one day this year.

Some random goodies from Ray Crowe... I have only had my computer sitting on the floor for about ummm, since I owned the car.

With the big turbo will come some bigger boost. so I needed a boost controller. went the AEM tru boost route for now. should do the trick for what I need it to do.

Went out and got me a PLX M-300 tuner edition Wideband... looks great and need to figure where on the car I will be mounting this bad boy!

Also, was not really planning on getting this, but this was my LATEST purchase... I sold my Yamaha r6 to get some funding for stuff and this is what I got... a brand new HKS twin power ignition system...

And for the body! well, I cannot wait to get started on this, but unfortunately this will be more of a winter project... car is still down and I want to enjoy it a little before the winter hits hard... BUT, as I said earlier I will be attempting to Matte black vinyl wrap this bad boy. but before that happens I am going SHINE SPEC GT front and rear fenders... Going to Mold the rear fenders on, lets see how that goes, seems like a big project.

But I am not going with the front bumper, I seen way to many messed up bumpers here in NYC. going with this 99spec plateless bumper!

Then to eliminate those sideskirts I have I got a full Shine all around CF kit! Just need to get the low profile spoiler!

And I traded in my big box of coins for some cash and swapped my old hood with this nice CF scoot hood. oh yeah... getting some air for that turbo.

Hopefully with all these goodies I Will have one clean sick looking FD. I HOPE. time will tell.

Today I got another Order from Ray Crowe... Won a $50 gift certificate at the Carlisi meet (as I did last year) but decided to use it this year... so I figured IW as redoing some of my interior, and ordered a replacement shift boot since mine was beat up! Looking at it looks like a different construction that the original I had on there. leather is not wrinkly yet since its new, but the stitching is different! no outside seams!
