From RR IX GSR to a WW IX MR

What up everyone! Figured i'd post pics of my new to me WW IX MR I just picked up last month. Long story short, I had a RR IX GSR from 07 until now, crashed it in 2013, tried reviving it for the last couple of years, only to find out the body shop who did the work screwed me and didn't fix the frame properly. So my choices were to keep dumping money into it, hoping to get it right, or just buy a whole new car and swap the parts over, which is what I ended up doing.

Mod list:
-2.0LR
-Carrillo Pro H 156mm rods w/ 3/8 Carr bolts
-Traum 10.5/1 pistons
-Arlington Machine cylinder head
-GSC S2's with GSC valvetrain
-Mil.Spec ported IX turbo (swapping to a HTA Green in a few weeks)
-Mil.Spec ported 65mm TB
-Mil.Spec ported invidia o2 housing
-Curt Brown Extreme ported intake manifold
-Curt Brown ported FP race exhaust manifold
-RC1200cc injectors
-whinebro 255lph fuel pump
-Nisei competition intercooler
-ETS short route intercooler piping kit
-ETS mini battery w/ odyssey PC680
-Trust Ti exhaust
-Sheptrans ultimate ratio 5 speed transmission
-Sheptrans stage 2 transfer case w/ Wavetrac LSD
-Robispec modified rear differential
-Alcon Mono6 front big brake kit 355X32
-JIC coilovers (switching to JRZ RS Pro's soon)
-progress 25mm sway bar
-18X9.5 +22 Volk TE37's
-JDM 8 MR HID headlights w/ TSX retrofit
-JDM 8 MR taillights
-JDM rear bumper

New car:

Part of me wishes I would of bought a C6 Z06 or F80 M3 with how much I've spent between trying to fix my red IX and my new IX

I'll never forget that day, I was on my way back home from buying some brake fluid to do a flush on a friends evo x before heading to the track the next day. I hope I can get the white IX up to par with my red IX someday soon
