Wow this thread is great, you really have things comming along. After seeing all the work you did i ordered a $h!t load of parts. Im in iraq right now but when i go home on R&R i plan on throwing everything together. Ill post a thread of my own look for it some time in november. I can wait to go home and see a garage full of fresh new parts.

I will but its not gonna be for another 7 months im stuck in iraq right now. I pritty much ordered the basic build parts for the sr. First off i bought a sr black top not the 99 though. Then i ordered a cx racing intercooler. I know very low budget part but its my first build with a turbo engine. I also ordered a megan racing radiator and electric fan. Also greddy underdrive pulleys to cut some weight. AEM true boost boost controller/gauge, AEM standalone engine managment system, B&M short throw shifter. Nismo aluminum shift **** and one of thouse cheep carbon fiber shift boots. Hks cat back exhaust but realized im gonna have to get the rest of the system i think to run properly i dont have a cat on there right now. Oh yea Apexi turbo timer. Venom fuel pump. But im still running stock injectors. HKS ssqv bov even though you guys hate that bov I love that sound haha. Then just some little things just for looks, i bought the white glow gauge face, altezza 180 sx tail lights, megan racing strut tower brace, (ill order the trunk brace in a couple of weeks when i make my next order), Vision racing carbon fiber hood and trunk lid. Summit racing battery relocation kit. TSW jarama 17in rims black with polished lip. I think im forgetting some little things but thats the jist of it. Also if you know anyone with a solid platform i wanna build a second 89-91 hatch race only spec. Im gonna use the ka out of my first one to build a monster ka-T with an all race platform. Oh and i know i spent all that money on parts so far but havnt gotten to suspension or brakes yet dont worry im not gonna skimp out on that part I just havnt gotten to it yet.
