300zx2g35's 2009 Spec. B "Carrie" Build

Car looks great!

How is the element tuning engine holding up? I want to pull my motor and drop it off with them and have found great reviews. What do you think about them?

 

So far no issues. I've probably got about 3k miles on the motor now and it feels great and hasn't used a drop of oil. Need to go back and dyno tune it but I've got a decent road tune on it from Phil so I'm just enjoying it for now.

 

I definitely recommend them if you're not in a huge hurry. It took 6 months before they were ready to do my motor since there were others ahead of me but it was definitely worth the wait! Granted they may take a bit to respond to you and finish your motor as they are only a 2 man shop but their work is top notch and definitely worth it! They aren't in the business of just pushing motors out the doors; they will make sure everything is perfect and up to their standards.

I spoke to them earlier this year, my car is currently running so I may just end up getting a new short lock and having them build it a pulling mine when it's my turn to redheads and have the give me a mere long block ready to be installed.

That's basically what I did....although my car wasn't running lol. I kept the car at my house and when they had built the long block, I brought my car up and they pulled what they needed off of my old motor and put it in the car.

 

where did you get that red 6 speed shifter nob center? that's pretty rad. You're car looks great!!

 

Thanks! It's the knob off of the '15 STi. Part #: 35022va000

Completed my trunk this weekend. Since I replaced the spare tire with my air setup, there was no support in the middle and the trunk liner Subaru uses is crappy to begin with so I needed something to replace it.

Installed my Grimmspeed top mount over the weekend. Sprayed the logo the same color as the car. Think it turned out pretty good.

Thanks! I probably will but it probably won't be till the end of summer. Going to enjoy it like this for a bit before I upgrade the turbo.

YES!

 

KCCO big guy, love your car too :)

 

Thanks! KCCO right back at you!

Love it! I think it's much better than the Process West that I had before. Better designed which makes it a lot easier to install/remove plus it's slightly larger.

Saw your car at the Grimmspeed booth today. Looked fantastic. I love the fog surrounds/covers. How did you make those?

 

Thanks!

 

Not my car. Pic for reference:

For the fogs I ground down the silver part where it meets the black about an 1/8" to create a lip. I then took some 1/8" lexan/plexiglass from Lowes, cut it into the oval shape and glued it into the opening so it sat on the lip and was flush with the rest of the fog surround. Then I took some bondo/body filler to fill in any gap between the lexan and the rest of the surround, sanded it smooth, and painted.

Any specs on the specific front and rear struts you installed? Looked AirLift products up and there were quite a few universal setups available. No specific Legacy/Outback setup.

 

I got my setup from bagriders: https://bagriders.com/modlab/categories/AIR-RIDE-KITS/SUBARU/LEGACY/BL-%282005%252d2009%29/

 

If I remember correctly, I believe the struts were 08-14 WRX struts.

Made a hole in the fog grill for the Grimmspeed license plate bracket

And finished! Definitely updates the look of the car!

Car was dirty when I did this which is why the hood looks so different. Planning on getting it repainted anyways with all the chips etc. in it.
