Update

I haven't updated in almost a year as I was pretty busy with life and work.
I'm actually getting ready to sell my car. Its a shame that i cant complete the project.
Here are some more mods over the course of the year. Sadly these will be the last mods. Since its been so long, I dont exactly remember the exact prices and some of the smaller mods.

This car got tuned by Steve Kan and dynoed at 308 rwhp at 10.5 pounds of boost.

I'm at work now so no pictures, they'll come later.

My car got broken into one night while getting the Haltech Installed. Shattered my passenger side window, stole my newly installed Deck, and my Greddy E01 boost controller.


Before.....

After....


Deck and Greddy E01 gone... replaced it with a cheaper Greddy Profec B

12.26.07 New Additions!

My clutch has been slipping and i wasnt getting much throttle response. Back in August when i had my engine rebuilt, I was told that my clutch only had about 10% left. It is now december so i decided to get my clutch replaced. Since I'm replacing my clutch, I decided to replace the flywheel as well. Added a short throw shifter, swapped the shift boot from my S5 GTU-S and to top it off, an RX-8 shift knob. Changed out the thermostat on the car and a coolant water temperature sensor in an attempt to get better gas mileage. Finally, I sold my red GTU-S for $500 and salvaged the deck and the S5 kouki tail lights.
