1) DE Front black grille piece-Installed
2) Flat black vinyal for the bumper cap
4) 9glancers (1) white and (1) black sticker (Other site I m on)-Installed
5) SRI Takeda intake-Installed
6) Mudflaps(not sure on the brand yet, maybe rallysport?)
7) Possibly some Tein coilovers?

3 months down the road:
1) RA or Evo Snorkel

I ll just use this as my spot of all my add on's

 

 

Pics will be up in a month when all is said and done. I m waiting on a few parts then I ll take some photos.

 

#5 + #1 from 3 months down the road list wont work, actually #1 wont work period unless you relocate your battery to the trunk. the evo snorkel and ralliart are totally different, ralliart will work just fine, i have one

also tein s techs will kill your stock shocks/struts in less than 15k miles.

 

Thats good to know, I want to put the battery in the back to free some space up. I ll just do the RA snorkel then. Maybe some tein coilovers instead

 

Can't wait for mod #4!

 

yea that works because the evo snorkel will not fit the takeda intake unless ...

maybe if you turned the location of the SRI so that it sucks air from where the battery (rotate the piping) was...in that case I wonder if you could use half of an evo x air box with th snorkel and the takeda intake... that would probably be a pretty cool setup...

edit: just looked at a picture of a stock evo x engine bay...it COULD work just by looking at pictures Id have to see everything in person to know for sure. ive know that the airboxes between the ralliart and the gts/de/es share a half (the right side) of the airbox is the same...its completely possible that the right side of the evox box is similar (minus the inlet for the snorkel just saying the size might be the same)...so it could snap on to the takeda sri.

 

After looking into the parts, the evo snorkel would not work. Its shorter than the other models.

 

yes i know i told you this already. if you read my whole thread i was giving an idea for when you relocate your battery.

i have seen people who took the fujita (pos) sri and turned the angle at which it sits on the throttle body so that it angles where the battery was (they did a battery install in their trunk).

 

Sorry haha I did notice it, I wanted to double check since the air way is alot larger than the RA. That d be a interesting setup, fujita sucks too

 

Heres the first pic of the build, sorry it took so long damn utah weather....it was still cold but I put up with it in a long sleeve and sweater.

 

How she sits currently:

 

wow, that sticker just makes the car!!

 

^^^are you being sarcastic?

 

New pics, Takenda intake installed:



I found this though......
the back right part of the intake box(the tab closest to the drivers side strut tower.)
Causes the small clip to pop off every once and awhile....I wonder why they did it that way.....
