The new setup looks killer. Good luck with it. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Car looks great man, and enclosure seems to be coming along very well. Keep us updated and keep up the good work.

UPDATE!!!!!!!

So the winter came & went, and work on my car slowed to a snails pace. minor upgrades were done to the car itself.

My Wilwood brake setup which has served me very well the past few years, has been replaced with a 330mm Prodrive / alcon braking system. I was not at all prepared for the stopping power of theese brakes. HOLY S!!! they clamp down like a mofo.

because the new brakes are ALOT bigger than my old ones, i needed new wheels. so out with the old Volks, and in with the new. im now rolling on a set of 18x8 Volk GT-V 2 piece wheels. its a new look that i like alot & im very happy with the results.

I also finally upgraded my suspension from TEIN S-tech springs to a full set of TEIN Flex coilovers. ride comfort is about the same, but cornering is vastly improved.

Work on my audio system will be re-commencing tomorrow, and ill have a slew of pics for all of you. check back to see the new look for 07. I hope you like it!

good **** fred... cant wait to see how she looks now.

StreetEG · 04-14-2007, 06:16 PM

In for pics! Saw this car on the spring run and it was one hell of a ride....

D Money · 04-14-2007, 09:09 PM

I saw it last night in person and it's looking FRESH!

WKderF · 04-15-2007, 04:14 PM

as soon as the weather clears ill have a bunch of them. i promise.

**TROLL** · 04-15-2007, 06:09 PM

ha... done? stop kidding yourself. $50 says you spend at least a grand on new stuff before next spring, and i wont even include audio stuff in that.

WKderF · 04-15-2007, 06:45 PM

ha,

when i say done what I mean is that I am almost done replacing stock parts with aftermarket ones. once that is done, im sure ill be constantly swaping aftermarket parts to follow a brand theme or such, like swapping a sparco shift knob for a prodrive one, etc. . . but replacing stock things with new ones is almost complete.

Here is my 50 but i think it will be more like 1500.

MuddyREX · 04-15-2007, 10:41 PM

I like the new brakes, a lot.

the mike · 04-16-2007, 03:16 PM

You need some RA-R brakes Fred. (D will probably get them first though

)

D Money · 04-16-2007, 03:25 PM

lol im sure if I knew who had them for sale I would have already. I'm more into bling, so a nice set of Endless 6-pot front, 4-pot rears would be more my style, but that's $7,500 in brakes!

BTW, Fred is not done. I heard some plans of his and it's definately going to take more than $1,500 to do them soo, i'll double Troll and Barry's bet.

**TROLL** · 04-16-2007, 03:48 PM

D, the RA-R brakes are $5000 for the fronts... and I can get them for you... so should I place your order?

. soooo hot though. and they are also Alcons.

zomg!!

D Money · 04-16-2007, 03:50 PM

I agree, they are definately really hot. I really really think you should rock those white sti wheels on your car!

You sell the wilwoods? How much did you let em go for?

New setup looks sick, the prodrives are amazing.

WKderF · 04-17-2007, 08:16 PM

the wilwoods are technically not sold yet - but a sale is pretty much pending on them.

continuing on:

well, it was only a matter of time, but last night my front lip finally gave up & shattered. so im now in the market for a new one. not sure yet what i want to go with, but i want something low key - not crazy. right now im thinkin JDM STi lip, but that may change.

also,

work on my trunk has finally recommenced. the portion to hold the amps & capacitor has been framed out & needs to be fiberglassed. once that is done, next comes a bit more sanding, & finally vinyl & suede wrapping & trim to finish the trunk off. the enclosure itself as well as the CO2 tank are being sent out to paint in a few weeks. after they return, its final assembly & trim.

and then, for now, ill be done.

stay tuned.
