Things I want to do/change...

-swap out my GTSPEC front strut bar to a Cusco
-swap my Eibach Pro Kit for Stance SS awd coilovers
-switch to 20mm spacers from my current 15mm
-swap my Greddy CBE for a new Ark grip CBE
-180 custom modded headlights
-rear ipl bumper

 

Why the GTSpec for the Cusco? Rubbing issues?

 

Exactly the reason and I've kind of fallen for the look of the Cusco as well.

 

Wished the Cusco came with red ends rather than blue haha. I asked Tunerz Store how much to powder coat it red last year and they quoted $300 shipped.

 

I just said the sameeeee exact thing to my friend yesterday! I'm gunna have to powder coat mine red as well bc it'll match my engine bay. Blue will look so out of place lol

 

Lmao I have red LED lights under the hood so yeah it would have def been out of place. They really should have either made the ends black or just leave it chrome.

 

Buy 2013 xS coupe - Done!

Hotchkis Sway Bars
Stance SC-1 19x8.5 Square Set up (Brushed Titanium)
SPL F&R Camber Kit(s) w/Toe Bolts (depending on how well it aligns post-drop)
Stoptech Drilled Rotors w/Posi Quiet Pads (when current pads run low)
H&R 15mm spacers

Not sure if I'll get it all done this year but one can hope… and probably some other misc. lighting and painted calipers

 

Umm, not much honestly. I've done most of what I had planned on already. I bought this car because I felt it was a good middle ground between practicality and fun. I don't see the point in spending the value of the car in mods when I could have just bought a vette and spent half that amount to make great power.

That being said,

IPL Bumper (Dropped car at body shop today for my post-accident repairs and bumper install)
Sport rear sway bar Currently in my basement
Carsmo ***** perhaps
FI RHFC
Tune
Debating if I want to drop the cash on the cats and tune. I'm spending a lot of money this summer on a roadtrip vacation with my friend so the car is definitely lower on my priority list.

 

Grill installed. Got the carbon fiber trunk for a STEAL in the private classifieds stage 3 endurance clutch/flywheel kit installed and just about broken in. ZSPEED HD csc installed. Up next for the summer is 1000cc ID injectors, CJM fuel Return System and fresh tires! Going with hankiok tires this time. My nitto nt05 lasted just about a year. Time to re up! Here are some pics of how it is now!

 

I'm about halfway through the year and halfway through the mods, I'm going to be cutting it close..

 

Not exactly *mods* but I had my sport bumper installed and while they were at it I had them clear and install my AKX V2 CF diffuser. Fog bezels were painted in KH3. They currently have my Akebono calipers and will do the upgrade once they're painted.

As for exhaust, I'm constantly changing my mind, but for now it's gonna be FI RHFC, Sprt Acc Muffler and custom piping in between..for now

 

I'm loving the wheels/lug nuts! Are you dropped on coils or springs?

 

I feel like 1000cc injectors are a bit excessive with no boost...pending some outrageous tuning. The GTR 570s might be sufficient

 

Eibach Springs

 

Another part added to the list. Totally unforeseen My transmission got stuck in 5th gear and won't come out. So a new transmission will be on the way shortly. Then. I'll continue with the power mods. Test pipes to replace my HFC and 1pc aluminum drive shaft.
