Build looks pretty good OP, Good luck with the rest of it!
I stopped in the Cayman Islands about 6 yrs ago on a cruise at one of the main ports...It was ridiculous the amount of turbo cars rippin around...We were there for 6 hrs or so & I heard & saw so many turbo cars, evos, skylines, little turbo hatches...nuts...

Lol 6 years ago is nothing compared to the way it is now . Every year more and more guys are starting to get hooked on racing, We even have cars here that leave to compete in other caribbean countrys, even with the recession going on and customs killing us with duty fees on car parts you'd expect to see a slow down in this kinda thing but its actually the other way around. Heck we even have 2 Evo 9 wagons here but only once in a blue moon you may glimse them

update: Parts parts parts
Ive been back for about a week now from miami and got most of my parts except the suspension which i will be back to pick up in about 2 weeks . I recently
also received the block back from the machine shop a few days ago and I am absolutely impressed with the work these guys do. So anyways at the momment the motor is just about ready to start being assembled except for the fact that ive received the wrong length connecting rods from awd motorsports (an experience that I dont plan on ever re living )but thats another story. So I have since sold those rods to a local friend who is building a 2.4L for his evo 4 and now on the hunt for some GRP aluminum rods to lighten up the rotating assembly. Anyways now on to some pics of whats going in the car withing the weeks to come.
Hotel room full of parts
Ams f1-I intake manifold
New 4" intercooler
