JYork's G coupe 6MT

Hey guys so here are a few pics of my beautiful car LOLA. Just starting off already have some plans and hoping to hear any ideas . Time to start a thread to show off progress. Sorry I already started but she was bone stock when I got her, already swapped a Takeda CAI and brakes by CQuence and tomorrow I'm doing the Stillen crank pulley. I'll post updates as available.

Welcome to the site, off to a nice start. What plans do you have in store, or are you going to surprise??
Nice choice w/ the CAI, those Takedas look great!

Long tube heaters from fast intentions, Eibach sways, probably Takeda dual exhaust, VIS carbonfiber hood and trunk, KW V3 coilovers, eventually new wheels and tires and maybe next year depending on how good I've been I'll do some engine updates and turbo it. She's barely been driven only 40k miles so far. I've been holding off on doing anything but now I regret that.

So I am the worst about adding pictures to this upgrade that I have been working on. Here's some updates. VIS carbon fiber hood. Hotchkis Sway bars, Z1 Intake Plenum upgrade

First the Sway bars by Hotchkis 35mm front and 28.5mm rear



Big thanks to my #1 helper my wife



Then the Z1 Plenum mod install



The old one



When it was swapped




Next are the FI long tube headers

Looking like you and the wife have been busy, nice work, and nice to have a wife that doesn't mind twisting wrenches.

Sweet state I love the 808 but it took me a while to find a car club to bounce ideas off of and learn some good tips. Also it is weird not knowing some good credible aftermarket parts since I am coming from the good ol' american car mod life lol.

Also if anyone can point me to a good spot to purchase a good titanium exhaust that would be great. I found one from MXP but the vendor I chose was out of them.

GTHaus makes a perfect titanium exhaust but it's pricey. Got mine from OnEighty

Fits like oem. Installation couldn't have gone any smoother. Exhaust sounds amazing, I get 0 drone, it's got a nice growl but not too loud went driving normally, and when you step on it it gets really loud and mean. It's definitely unique sounding. If I had to choose again, I'd still go with the GTHaus

Edit: keep in mind I have stock headers/cats, with those LTheaders, it's probably going to be LOUD

Great! I am doing the LTH tomorrow and I can't wait. Exhaust done shortly after I went with Takeda for right now until I get a better lightweight one. Also if you can spread the word I got an email from litespeed racing about possibly doing a few G37 exhaust if I can get some interested people. So have any interested guys PM me.

New update. LTH are in and so is the Takeda exhaust, UPRev tune. New tires in next week, carbon fiber trunk and spoiler en route, hopefully wheels soon after, coilovers, then saving up for the big supercharger tune next year. Also got the aluminum splash guard with oil servicing hatch too
