Coming along nicely considering your budget !! All ya need now is some cams, maybe some 264's or a 264/272 combo. I think that would work pretty good with this setup you have so far.

How's that strut tower rust? get that fixed?
Rust is taken care of, thanks to Mark.

Hows the crank play lookin'? :)
LOL. If it walks it walks and I get a 6-bolt, if not, that's fine too.

looks good man. what's your next mod? I know how things are going with a tight budget.
Next mod is getting an exhaust on there finally.

Lookin good! I hope your next mod is a nice set of jumper cables ;)
I actually have a quality set now!

That's an interesting piping setup you have there haha. Finally getting some mods on there I see.
Tell me about it. The lacking throttle response with the long route leaves a bit to be desired, but overall I'm happy with it. I'll get a new j-pipe and reroute it sometime soon.

I loved the Tokicos for looks, hope they do well for you in Autocross.
They seem to transfer weight and plant the tires very well compared to stock on the street, so I'm hoping they can do the same at lower speeds in a more technical setting. The real test is going to be Marshalltown next season, I'm hoping to finally be able to beat Matt's Civic. :D

Going to reroute that BOV back into the intake?
Yep. The car's running fine vented, but I'll only run it like that until the recirc fitting for the BOV arrives.

dont forget about the 2 days it was in my garage.
suspention swap
both front wheel bearings
left tie rod end
right lower ball joint
right tower rust fixed
right side axel

And all of it 2 days before the cruise.

That was NOT fun. Though I did get to beat shit with a mallet, which felt pretty good.

Wow, i'm surprised.
It does look nice, that drop is perfect.

looking good still slower than a mini though....

You might want to look into boost leaks or tunning. they did a long debate where they did all the math on the long route and with all the extra piping and it was only a fraction of a tenth of a second. nothing that could actually be felt. I have longer piping and a much larger FMIC then you and i dont have any problems with throttle response.
Glad to see the build though. Lets see bay and interior pics

Yeah, I agree with this. All I could do was laugh when a friend of mine, trying to get his g60 corrado to work, said that you needed some exact length of vacuum tube to make something work right. If it wasn't 3" or whatever, it would read wrong. The time it takes for a volume like that to become pressurized is so minuscule that you'd never notice.

Anyway, how could throttle response get worse with more air volume in the pipes unless the tune is goofy?

[cmspaz]

Well, it is on the stock map still...

Along with a lot of others on a fmic. Have you done a boost leak test on it?

Primo has fixed 2g strut tower rust before, btw.
