dam man nice color for the car/motor. very different. i like how ur going to do the cf hood/hatch with the top black. first time i saw it was on brandon fujimoto's hatch. i think that style looks best on the hatches. that pic with the EG with the k20, did u try running him to see the difference in both car? i think that would be a crazy race to watch.

 

Sweet Bulid. Hat Will Go Off To This Guy. Thats A Lot Of Time. But I Have A ? Why A Penzoil Filter? Besides The Fact. Sweet Ek

 

i want a K!!!!!!! very nice man!!!

 

sick!!!!

 

i wish i could do all that... where can i go to learn all that mechanics..

 

I am doing something similar, but I threw in more money into the motor then the body.

Here is one shot of my hatch from where it stands now



This car came with some drivers side door and fender damage. All the parts are here, just need to take it to the body shop for some paint. I have the k20 engine being built right now. It will have a lot of high HP making goodies inside the engine (over 4k worth of goodies to be exact)

 

It's been a while since I've updated my post. My apoligies!

To answer some of the questions:

1. The penzoil filter was on the engine when I bought it. I either run the OEM filter or a K&N.

2. The EG in the picture is a K24/20 turbo. You might be able to spot the snail near the firewall. It made 300whp and 320lbft on 8-9psi of boost. Completely stock internals, stock cams ect ect. (2.5" downpipe and exhaust)

It would be rather pointless to race it because its soo stupid fast.

3. Learn about mechanics? Find a good honest local shop, be willing to learn and ask to become a shop bitch. I gained most of my knowledge from the people around me, and the only way to really learn is to do things yourself. You can also browse other technical forums.

Now for the update on my car:
