SoCal07HR's Build thread
 

Hey everyone. Just bored today and decided to make a build thread to document my progress. I'll start with the mods I already have done, post up my future plans, and update regularly (all for your flaming pleasure). I really just want to post this up for my own motivation. Thanks for reading.

My first mod was my StopTech 6 piston front, 4 piston rear with 355mm rotors all aroud. I love these brakes, stopping power is awesome, and they handle heat very well.

I was shocked when i test fitted the brakes in the stock wheels and they fit. I was planning to wait to install them till I got wheels but they fit so I put them on. There are no spacers required to fit this setup.

Threw on a ZSpeed undertray the same day.

My plan was to install my brakes then get wheels and tires ASAP, but I wanted more power so I put wheels on the back burner for a while.

On went GTM resonated test pipes, Motordyne XYZ pipe with resonator, Motordyne 3 inch single exhaust, and Nismo intakes with AEM dryflow filters. The P/N of the AEM filters that fit with the Nismo Dual intakes is 21-202D-HK. Also tucked my bumper for the single exhaust.

Then it was time for a tune. I decided to go with Church Auto because of their experience. Osiris tune netted a total of 317.220 HP @ 7300 RPM and 277.928 TQ at 4200 RPM. I know the dynapacks read higher numbers and also that church is famous for having a magic dyno, I dont need to hear it. I plan on getting the car on a dynojet when I get a chance.

That pretty much brings us to where I'm at right now. I have a few things waiting for me to install. I got some 19x9.5 19x10.5 +22 Volk TE37 time attacks, Ray's lug nuts, front and rear GT Spec braces, and a Nismo finned diff cover.

Next up will be tires so I can put my TE37's on, Coilovers, Lot's of parts from SPL, and some anti-roll bars to finish off my suspension. Stay tuned! Pictures of Volks installed comming soon. As it sits:

nice!

Nice pictures.
 

Hello SoCal07HR,

Nice pictures. Which coilovers did you select?

Thank you for your time,
Lboy06.

nice. you are doing it right. :D

would suggest getting some sway bars next and rear camber arms.

I'm still trying to decide on coilovers. It's slowing down my build quite a bit. After changing my mind a bunch of times, I think I will be going with KW V3 or Clubsports.

I hate your new wheels so much :icon38:

Thanks, yeah I'll be doing my whole suspension at once. I'm starting a pile of suspension parts. SPL stuff is coming, I'll be going with whiteline or hotchkiss sways, and I need to decide on coilovers and order those.

doing too much stuff at once is not good hehe
looks fantastica
which osiris package(?) did you get?

Standard.

Nice setup...what is your goal with the car? Track toy I assume

Mostly track. Gonna keep it streetable though. Track days at Willow, Drags at Fontana, standing mile events, and eventually a Silver State Classic or two. Just gonna build it up slow and use the best parts available.

I also installed my GT Spec 4 point brace on sunday. I was surprised how much of a difference I felt, this brace works as advertised for sure.

Looking good. Love how you admit the dyno reads high yet you threw the numbers in your sig nonetheless lol

Haha, yeah I plan to correct that when I get it on a dynojet. I figure no one should have a reason to flame me about it as long as I admit they are high, what bugs me is when people get their dyno sheet from church and act like the dynapack is calibrated to dynojet readings.
