car looks good, all i'd do is clear the headlights, tint the tails and debadge the trunk and that would be a very very clean car!

 

Thanks. I'm not sure I'll be doing any of those though haha. I prefer the stock look, it keeps the attention away.

they're pretty conservative mods IMO

I think you hit the nail on the head about the head lights haha. At this point I don't want to risk anything. Down the road if I buy another set due to my originals getting beat up during winter, I might consider clearing and possibly blacking out. As far as tails, they look good tinted on some cars, but I'm not sure I'd ever want to tint them on my car. Just a personal preference.

 

IMO ISCs ride niiiiice!

 

Nice, I was looking at BC coilovers last time I was researching in that area. I just want to create an even wheel gap in the front with the back. I don't think I'll be lowering the back at all because the Y pipe on the SPT catback already hangs really low, so I don't need any headaches lowering the rear haha.

 

dude. I love the idea of a sleeper man and commend you for going through the process of all that work. I bet there are some super surprised faces when you hit the gas :)

 

Thank you! I have not encountered many people thus far. I don't know why, but there never seems to be any car enthusiasts traveling the same direction as me when I'm on the road. I always see them going the opposite direction haha. A pretty sick looking/sounding fox body mustang wanted to play once, but I was only on the highway for 1 exit =\

 

The car is sick though, looks like it did when it was a stock 2.5i. But it pulls like crazy. There are no regrets installing this kit.

I like the ISC's because they are fully adjustable and also because they ride well and are pretty cheap. AJW may have them for a good price at WBM I think I got mine for like 900.

 

That sounds good, I know the BC Racing BR series are about a grand as well. It will be a while before I purchase more parts though after this turbo kit.

 

I read you have to remove the back seat to adjust the BC unless you get the extender. Is that true for the ISC as well?

Are,you talking about my white car? I bought the lamin x kit, wasnt too hard, all you need is a hair dryer or a heat gun to stretch them out, shouldnt take you longer than an hour to do them, mine are 2 yrs old and are holding up well

New update.

 

Decided to wax and vacuum the car today in anticipation of WBM this weekend. Had to take a couple quick pics afterwards.

And after that was all done. I went ahead and installed my BOV since the final piece arrived today!! Very straight forward install. I went with the recirculating type to keep noise down as well as to avoid MAF issues. I'm really happy with it. It makes a slight chirp noise, but it isn't very loud. It also makes the phshooosh sound as well depending on how I handle the throttle.

It's a Type 10 BOV and I used the weakest of the 3 springs that came with it.

Whats the brand of your cold air intake? Is it a Cosmo Racing CAI?

If you're referencing the pictures you quoted. That piping is part of my intercooler for the turbo. As GEE-OTTO mentioned I now have the AVO intake coupled with their turbo kit.

 

I did have the Short Ram Intake from Cosmo Racing at one point. But could not be tuned because of my ECU at the time, so I went back to stock until this turbo kit.
