It has been a very very long time since I have updated this thread. So here is a quick speed through of what has been going on vehicle wise with my life!

Glad to see people still follow build threads!

Going to try and start off semi where i left off

well I ended up finishing up that motor build I never ended up pushing the car on the dyno much past 700whp due to rushing and trying to make events etc!
here are some pictures of it finished up back then along with some shots from import alliance Kentucky that I attended that year believe it was like 2012/2013 lol






after that even I came back home and was rushing to prep for Tuner evolution here are some pix / pre photo's before the event
i was lucky to have a photo shoot with jeri lee!

Update to the purple monster already...

Gotta give it up to Derek as much as I bothered him with questions from years past. always held it down and a build to look up to.

Booztin

also attended a few other events that year honday day , tuner evo, first class fitment i think



anyhow after all that the weather was starting to get cold etc so the car got tucked away and I was busting my butt at work trying to save for a new daily so at the tail end of winter I got rid of my 98 nissan pathfinder that I had for a almost all my life and picked up a 2013 for raptor.





for the next 8 months after my purchase I had work being done to the s2k I planned on a right hand drive swap I locked down a clip which i ended up getting screwed on and I had to located about 10000000 parts separately that were not included with the clip I received. I have always been super picky with my choices on my s2000 so I wanted show quality so it took a very long time to located extra oem pieces that are basically brand new but for rhd. So meanwhile i had plans to mod my truck because my s2000 was taking forever!


I purchased exhaust intake and the truck was bare so I had the decals made and put on the hood / sides I wanted to do much more but i grew very bored with the truck so at the end of the 8 months after my purchase I decided to trade the truck in for a more sporty daily because I was missing my s2000 soooo much.

my last photo with the raptor



I traded my 2013 raptor in for a 2015 sti I only waited about 1 month or so for it to come in but the wait for it was agonizing!!
so in that 1-1.5 months i stock piled tons of parts for the sti !



I purchased a set of te37 to have custom coated candy blue



so I finally received my 2015 sti


i had the roof wrapped almost immediately


and did a few more mods before throwing everything on
jdm grill




cusco top hats , cusco control arms, kw v3 coils




shift knob and slotted rotors

Booztin

here's a shot from the dyno!
after all the bolt ons and bumping the boost up a bit she made 320/350 on 19psi
as you can see the car was so new it still had temp tags on the dyno lol



here are some small shoots i did with the car!






funny shoot me and my evo x buddy did lol
decided to play along with all the evo vs sti fans lol

Booztin

for whatever reason I am absolutely retarded. I tryed to fill the void of not having my s2000 with the sti well..... it did not work. I had the sti for about 3 months or so and got bored so I decided to go back to another 2013 white raptor LMFAO

I parted the sti out and once she was back to stock she was gone

here's the day I traded the sti in on another raptor!



after I got this raptor i was still stuck with the mod bug so i set out some plans !





after I narrowed down how I wanted the truck to look I took off with the idea!

although I had a quick day of offroading before she went in for the wrap !




here she is getting wrapped



after the wrap was completed the next step was getting the grill and flares matte black as they are grey from factory so i had them painted !

Booztin

after I had the pieces painted I decieded to get some wheels , tires , and a lift kit to make the truck look more aggressive!

22x12 -44 with 37's




I also picked up a light bar for the lower grille area and had the wheel wells sprayed black as well.
after that got all finished up had a small shoot for the trucks completion !

Booztin

and finally to more or less catch you guys up!

all while I swapped cars etc I was still grinding away on the build of my s2000 for approx 2 years or so
doing tons of tiny things as well as big changes here's a small picture timeline leading you up to its current state!
