Updates on the modifications of the car so far.

Thermal R&D 3" exhaust is installed. It looks super beefy!

I got the Msp Rear Seat installed. I haven't pulled the top part of it but soon!

Installed the Kmr front lower tie bar and also the 4 point ladder brace. Looks great =D

Current setup of the Engine bay. Let me know if it looks different.

 

[funkalicious21]

Here are the Current pics of the exterior!

No more all show and no go baby! Lets talk fitment. =)
I was so happy about how nice the Turbolife looks in the front. Super aggressive.

It looks like its floating..

Did you do a battery relocation?

 

[justanothermp5]

doesnt look like it, since the connectors are still there

and dude, where did you get that exhaust? and is it P5 specific?

o tru, i couldnt tell because i was looking at the pic on my droid. lol. i believe the exhaust is off of banbadar's (spelling) msp

 

[funkalicious21]

Yeah, it's for the msp. Later im going to cut the tip shorter and it should fit perfectly.

Thanks man! Those brakes are direct bolt on. Definitely doable. =) way cheaper than any other bbk kit.
Yup, what Chris said.

Thanks man for the heads up about the brakes! I was hoping that it'd be a great upgrade. =)

 

[funkalicious21]

They are 5zigen 5zr Copse with a 17x7.5 +40.

The plans for tommorrow are to bleed the clutch put on the bigger rotors and tighten down the exhaust with a msp oem double cat. I'm crossing fingers hoping that it'll turn over again. =)

 

[funkalicious21]

great news! I got the car up and running! I rev it a few times and i got the hear the BOV. Pretty loud. =) Made me giggle for a bit inside. The overall sound of the car is really deep, something you can feel bounding the chest. Ill do a video and post it up when i get the chance.

There are a few things i need to check, I have a vac leak so ima check for that. The MAIN thing that keeping me from driving it is my name CLUTCH! @#$!. I spent dayd trying to figure it out but im guessing its my master slave cylinder for the clutch. Im getting nothing. I tried to vac it out but there isn't anything. =( so im going to steal it from my friend moses's car.

 

[EVADE]

Cant wait see it done!

 

[funkalicious21]

Alright, I got the couple of clips of the engine! But I don't have Internet at home so I can't uploaded it right now.

If you're wondering how I am replying it's through my iPhone. I'm on this often with the iPhone and I realized that there are alot of grammar and word placements that are wrong when I reread my comments. It's the stupid spell check on it! Damn thing. Oh wells..

 

[justanothermp5]

so you got it started? what was the reason it didnt run?

 

[funkalicious21]

I had a loose connection and made sure none of the wires were misplaced. I just gave it a shot and then wah lah. =)
