Ya, I'm using everything but the wide fenders. If I had more cash to throw away, I' go for something a bit more uncommon. This will do for now. I can always sell it all and get something new for the car later on!

Quick update:

I've got most of the wiring put back in the car, now I just have to do the vert specific things. My turbo is on its way back from being rebuilt. Should have it running somewhat soon I hope! Sorry no pics today!

Howdy! So my fuel rail, catco cat and rebuilt turbo allllll arrived today. Took a little time after work to do a quick mockup of the exhaust mani, turbo and down pipe extension. Need to figure out where to put my egt and uego bungs. Once we do that I'm gonna have our powder coater hit the turbo mani, down pipe extension and open dump pipe in ceramic. Just have to pick up some injectors and a bunch of braided line and this thing should be finished! Here's another engine bay teaser...

I also have another delima. I honestly don't usually care what others think about how my car looks, but I need some opinions as to what some of you would choose to do. I have the brickyard headlights and oe corners. Problem is, the corners came in two different shades of amber! I had ordered some clear corners one night off ebay but never installed. I don't want the car to look ricey. What do you guys think?

i just don't know which I will go with...

whats up Jspec, nice build ! i think i am one of the other 4 'verts in the area (b0ston)...

in fact i have 2 ! !!! well, one is a parts car (lmk if u need anything, still have a bunch of stuff from it)

BTW, I got a digi climate 100% working in my USDM hatch if you need help, its pretty easy, and if you are swapping everything (cabin harness/etc) it should be simple.

again, nice vert, makes me jealous, lol

Thanks for the kind words man! I'm not swapping the harness at this point. Maybe next winter when/if I go RHD. Hopefully we can get it to work, my boss and I have done wiring (alarms, remote starts etc for a while). If not, I'll be sure to hit you up! If your in the Boston area, you should bring one of your cars to or seacoast meet on the 28th! The link is in the sig!

Looks cool.

I think the clear corners look funny with OEM headlights... That's just my opinion.

Engine bay teaser is looking good.

those clears look ricey IMO

the JDM OEM headlights have a nice "smoked" look to them which continues into the OEM corners... the clear ones look like cheap plastic by comparison.

you might consider using them if you could emulate the OEM smoked look but IMO you'd be better off rocking the OEM corners with different shades of amber... you'd only notice it if you were looking at the car straight on with perfectly even lighting, and even then it'd be hard to notice unless you were looking for it.

either that or buy another set that matches and hock the spares on ebay.


BTW... I better see this thing on the roat a the seacoast meet... get to it!

I definitely agree with everyone about them looking cheap. That's why I never put them on the other car. Just one of those things that goes through someones head even though you know its wrong lol. As far as this car being on the drive, that is the goal! And unless something goes terribly wrong from here on out there should be no reason it won't be there.

hahaha, ONE is taking over all the other forums! lol!

but, yup, I plan on going to the seacost drive on the 28th, looking forward to it! I will probably be in the hatch though, as I don't think my GF wants to take her very out until we get it painted nicely/new top/etc.

btw, i have the full vert interior if you need anything, its grey leather. Also a bunch of top part stuff/rear windows/top motor/wires/etc


as for swapping the harness... i wasn't really thinking (i have swapped coup/hatch/etc harness, really easy), but the convertible harness is a bit different that all the other, like it has the power door look thing behind the back seat, the rear window switches/motors/top motor/etc, might be a bit more difficult that I thought.

BUT it should be doable with a soldering gun, heat shrink, FSM, patience, and a lot of paper and a pencil

Aw, tell her to bring the vert too! Let it come out and play and get some fresh air! It will be motivation to get it finished. I still don't even know if mine will be road worthy yet! I'm trying to get as much done as possible.

Ok peoples! Small update today. I had my exhaust mani, dump pipe, down pipe extension and master cylinder head shield ceramic coated. Installed all of those things along with the Tial wastegate, AEM UEGO and Greddy EGT. Did a bunch of heat wrap to avoid any unwanted melting. Going to be ordering some injectors by the end of the week. Going with RCs, 750cc. I also received my order for my fuel, oil feed, and coolant by-pass AN fittings and -6 AN line. I forgot how quickly those little bits add up! lol And as always, some pics!

Alrighty then. I worked on the vert a bit more today. I ran the fuel lines and mounted the regulator. Also had to make a adapter bracket for the fuel rail. Be advised, the Greddy top feed rail is NOT a direct bolt on for the short port intake manifold! I think it came out ok for a quickie. The injectors are just used ones for the mock up. Anyways, on to some new pics!

Fuel Lab reg with a Tovic carbon look pressure gauge. Also notice the nifty fuel filter courtesy of my buddy over at Fujii SPL.

A quickie of the rail in hover mode with the invisible injectors.

Finally, my quickie adapter bracket for the rail. Note: I'm waiting for my injectors to show up before I mod the spacers that came with the Greddy rail, just in case they are a bit taller/shorter.

That's all for now! I'm probably going to install the Blitz down pipe, Catco cat and Greddy Ti-C exhaust tomorrow.

So as stated, the full exhaust has been installed. Blitz down pipe, Catco high flow and Greddy Ti cat back. Also had my buddy finish up the intake and hot pipe too. I've also been working on some guages mounted in the instrument cluster surround, running wires and wires and more wires. Anyways, on to the pixtars!


Ohhhh...Ahhhh.

Hot pipe!

Intake! Still going to make a bracket or somthing to stop vibration. Will also be replacing that silly filter too.

And another perdy engine bay shot!


Also, on Monday I'll be dropping off my fenders and kit to a local body shop. Should be starting it up soon too! YAY! That's all for now folks!

I know you already stated that you're gonna stick with the OEM corners, but I thought I might just offer up another option that I personally think would look nice as hell...

If you can pick up a can of Niteshades (or whatever the hell it's called) lens paint, you might try doing a smoked effect on the clear corners, just enough to match up with the OEM Halogen headlamps.

I just think it would look clean... and I have a slight OCD about symmetry so the differing shades of amber would piss me off everytime I saw em... and it would be in the back of my head whenever I was around the car.

I've actually thought about doing that. I've also thought about trying to paint or tint (with a film) the clear corners solid amber, along the lines of the Tomei covers. It may/may not look decent. I do agree about the different shaded OE corners. I personally think it looks like crap. Thanks for the suggestion!
