Default Tamotoji Build Thread

Figured since I have nothing else to do, i'll make a build thread also...

When I first got the car:











At a small get together with local s2ki members:







Front AP1 Bumper was in pretty bad condition, so I replaced it with a AP2 I bought from a guy that owns a junk yard:

It was originally painted Suzuka Blue. It had two cracks but I got them fixed up by a buddy recommended to me from Deft Motion.



When I bought the car, there was a pretty big dent on the driver side fender. Also got that taken care of:









Almost finished AP2 Front:



Had the APR Lip painted also:



Days go by, I didnt have enough money for Coilovers at the time to be ready for IA, So I got some Skunk 2 Springs:

Lower it about almost 2" all around: (@ DeftMotion) (Borrowed Cousins AP2v2 Wheels)



@ Firestone for Alignment:



Went to get lunch because IA got boring: (With Tyler and Shawn)





What it "used" to look like until Cousin stole his wheels back /> :



Days later I got a HKS Hi Power Exhaust Tip, Custom 2.5" Piping Straight Pipe from CAT all the way back to Tip:

~(Does it look like its sitting right?) (It makes me think...) (For some reason it doesnt look right):







This is how it sits today:





***Wheels are coming soon***

Considering I'm gonna wait until this cold goes away...

I've got time to SAVE! />

Well... I will update as soon as I get more parts for the car!

Nice! I'm assuming Tyler did the paint work? Looks great! A lot better than when I had my hands on it last, lol.

Yup! Tyler is the guy to go to!

And Drew is the guy to go to when you want to spend 3 hours installing Springs!

Correction, 15 minutes on Front Right, Rear Right, and Rear Left... 2 hours 45 minutes on Front Left.

HAHAHA!

Oh what a day that was!

Car looks great. Amazing how nice the AP2 wheels are....make such a huge difference. I've always loved the Suzuka color too.
