Default My Final Update

Ended up selling my Greddy twins because I lost interest in running a TT setup on a stock block and received an offer from a local shop to buy the kit that covered all my losses from my previous kits. (HKS GTRS, PowerLab) This all happened in January this year.

Then in February I ordered a GTM Stg II TT kit with a plan to build the motor, but within a week of that I found out I would be transferred to Dallas, TX for the rest of the year. Sam and I ended up working something out and cancelled the order.

Now forward to May, I’m no longer in Texas and back in Colorado. Thankfully I’ll be moving back to my home state of Arizona later this year! So I just decided to do the Vortech thing and use the extra money I had for the motor build on some JDM goodness. The car will be slow, but it’ll be dripping in JDM rice!

Update List –

Engine
-ARC Radiator (Replacing Koyo R)
-ARC Radiator Cap
-ARC V2 Oil Catch Can

Probably missing a few things here or there but that’s the most of it. 80% of the parts are sitting in my garage, on the car, or on order. Still working on the other 20% with RHDJapan and the Yahoo Japan auctions.

This will be the last update to the car for awhile. To be honest I’ve really lost a lot of the interest I once had in it. It’ll probably rarely even be driven but it is what it is.

Thank man! I'm sure you'll find a Vortech soon.

Thanks Willeee.


Lol you're crazy Andrew. My ARC V2 will always remind me of you.

Has anybody mounted a V2 can with a Vortech? Looks like it might be a tight fit.
