i cant wait to see where this car goes. good luck with everything and its nice to see u with an evo again.

 

Thanks guys It is great to be back. I got alot done today actually. Car is registered and insured so "SELENA" is LEGIT LOL... Finally figured out suspension, wheels, etc. I have the stock BBS SE wheels and was going to powdercoat them but just cant do it So, many thanks to Dan at WHEELDUDE.COM. He spent alot of time with me going over different options on wheels and tires. I wanted another DPT wheel but they only had super aggressive offsets. Some people dont have access to someone who can roll and flare fenders so I went with a mild 18x9 30MM offset SVN in matte black. I am trying to keep this a very realistic build so its easy to duplicate. Tires are 255x35 Dunlop Star Specs. Again I could've went with something like a Pilot Sport Cup but that is unrealistic for many not to mention they are horrible in the rain. Suspension I dont want to cut any corners on. Its the one area of the build I feel needs to be approached a little more cautiously. I went with what I think is a middle of the road coilover. Teins and Apexi's are definitely non performers and JRZ's or Motons are way over the top. I went with the KW3's. Definitely not cheap by any means but definitely very capable performers. I'll do bushing kits, corner balance, and sway bars at a later date. I just need to get the car back together and on her own feet I'm curious to see how the car performs with just an average install and alignment. I am heading down south tomorrow to drop off everything for paint Thats the fun stuff for me I may even repaint the front bumper... I will take some pics once everything returns from paint... I'll also take weights from everything. Wheeldude said they may have some Yamaha Black DPT's in the near future so I am super excited about that... These wheels are great and weigh in at just over 20#. This will be my second set so I can't wait to see the SVN in person. Pics in a few days...

Very nice...definitely sounds like it will be a fun street setup...Looking forward to which turbo you pick and tuning results...So who will be tuning the car, AWD??

 

None other than Master Diiirk @ AWD..

Mike

 

I see you will be getting Fp cams.I've always liked them and now i will see how they will perform with Hta green on pump.That is the setup i wanne run in my Evo.

 

Glad to see that your back!
your last build was pretty much what i based mine on. hopefully it wont be to long before your pushing the envelope again
best of luck with everything

 

Yes Mike is correct. Diiirk will be tuning the car Thanks again Mike for getting all my stuff ordered and taken care of... Its greatly appreciated.

As for the tuning on an HTA green No one said anything about a green

 

Nice list of MODs Brian..hope to see the Evo running around..

 

I think it's time to add the FP Black to your list of accomplishments! Looking at what you've run already, it seems like the perfect Dr Jeckel Mr Hyde turbo for the street.

 

good luck with the build

 

I'd like to but it will be a bit laggy for what I'm doing. I'm gonna need some low end grunt All I will say is it will be stock appearing and built by Forced Performance. Rest is up in the air... Everything is off and ready for paint tomorrow. Pulled the valve cover and it looks brand new inside, very niiiiice

 

100% it will be out and about... I'm looking forward to hanging out again.

 

A small hint on the Lambo color

 

haha nice!!!!!! My buddy painted his X that color it looks GREAT and it always turns heads lol

 

Only thing left is the red?

The color is SEX.
