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...


I think it would look good if you ambered the clear corners or smoked them like the headlights (assuming you can get to the inside faily easy)

Did I miss something??? LOL

Anyways fellas, Project Jspec603 Phase 2 has begun! Just when you thought it was all over, I went and purchased something new!

I missed being the first vert on here with this kit by about a month or two, but as far as I know I'll still be the first vert with the S13 front! A few other things are in the planning stages as well. New exhaust, either buy or build one. New turbo setup, the old setup is now sold!!! You guys sure are gonna love my new plans.

Well, you'll be all alone again soon enough. The Ti-C is comin off. The stupid thing has ZERO ground clearance.

Not very hard at all. I used a sawzall and cut the clip into a smaller section. Basically just the fire wall... Then I went to Robbins Auto parts and grabbed a spot weld cutter...basically a mini hole saw that has a spring loaded center point in the middle. Cut out all the spot welds and took it all apart. I'll be doing the same once I get the car ready. Once it's all out, just line in up perfectly and start tack welding! I cant wait! BTW, Props to Jarco...That's who I got the clip from...really nice guys over there. As I stated before, it's gonna be a slow build...thanks to mother nature I am back to waiting for warm weather again. Only in New England can it be 75* and then 10" of snow in the same week....

You haven't ever been to Ohio then I'm interested to see how this progresses gl

So I finally have some news to share! Today, I removed the current turbo setup from the Vert. I'm sellin it to a friend tomorrow and will be starting progress on a different custom setup. Now, I'm not going to promise tons of pics right away. This is going to take some time, everything is being built from scratch. I'm still collecting parts (and money) but wanted to let everyone know that there is promise of pics in the semi near future! Also, I think it's safe to say that you all will like what we're going to be doing.

Also, this "kit" is going to be a proto-type of sorts. We (Fujii-SPL) are going to consider producing this kit and selling it if all turns out well. However, that is the last thing we are worried about at this point.

my buddies HKS hi-power is worse, mine is a lot better because i had to make my own cat-delete section becuase my manifold flange was farked up, used it to raise it up some, mines high enough to where i had to trim half the rubber out ot the inside of the hangers and use hose clamps around to hold it up, and the hangers on the muffler in the back are are flared out at like a 45 degree angle, the muffler tip clears my tow hook by about 2 millimeters

Sooooo.... It's been a while. Between moving to a new house and just money in general, I just haven't had time to work on the car or do any updates. Buuuuut, it's over due so here we go!

First off, the vert's goin 5 lug! Here's the new fronts installed. Pics of the rear will be along shortly.


Here's a side view of the new wheels. Fronts are 18x10 +15. May/May not tub the front fenders. Absolutely ZERO rubbing issues anywhere (with out tires that is). This pic is also without the suspension being compressed or adjusted, as well as no adjustment on the camber plates. I have adjusted the camber plates to the maximum negative camber aloud by the plates and the top of the wheel sits flush with the fender.

Pulled the rear sub frame. Have a freshly painted sub frame ready to go in along with a few other goodies. Upgrading to a VLSD, rear 5 lug, boxing in all the OE arms and repainting, also have a full Energy Suspension bushing kit being installed. Once I get a few extra dollars I'll upgrade to a SPL suspension arms.

While the rear sub frame is out, I wire brushed all the surface rust. Then I used a rust stopper made by SEM products. Finally, I undercoated the entire area above the sub frame, rear wheel wells and over the exhaust canister (we all know they rust right there). No pics of the final undercoated area as of yet.

I also installed one of those nifty little throttle rotors you see all over the place. Is supposed to help throttle response. If nothing more, at least it matches the rest of the stuff under the hood!

And here is where all the really good stuff will fill in! Still working on the setup, but it should be pretty intense once its done!

Also, if anyone needs a front mount kit let me know! I have the Blitz LM off my vert being sold so I can swap over to a liquid to air setup.

MOAR PICS SOON! Keep an eye out, we've got the car in the shop and a bunch more parts to go in! Also, I'll be swapping every exterior light to LED (minus the headlights which are already HID).
