Decided to make a new project thread since my old thread was a bit cluttered and confusing to follow.
My brother first picked up this VR-4 back in 2007 from a guy on MNSC, at which point it was completely stock. He ended up throwing on a 20G, having the stock block refreshed, and having suspension work done on it at Elite Performance in 2008. He finished college and ended up not having space, and not wanting to see it sold to someone else, he sold it to me to keep it in the family. I bought it at age 16 in the fall of my junior year.
A few pictures of the changes it went through before I got my hands on it.
A few days after he purchased it on 2007.
Cruising in 2007 with my other brother Dan (daneatsv8s).
The messy intercooler piping it started out with.
Different rims.
Another set of rims.
First winter in the snow.
More rims... See the recurring pattern? My brother and his rims...
New piping from Real Street Performance.
And then the day that I picked up the car from him.
First shot of the engine bay in my ownership.
After fixing a bunch of minor problems, I headed off to MAPerformance for a tune, and made 324WHP on 18PSI. Had a blast driving it all junior year, and in the summer of junior year I made 388WHP on 25PSI. Drove it the first few months of senior year and the clutch started slipping. I opted to pull it out and do the clutch.
This is what I ended up with after a hard day of wrenching. For some reason I figured it might just be easier to pull the motor with the transmission while I was at it and clean the bay. Big mistake.
From there, I somehow decided to build the car, and got hoodup on a motor and HX40 setup. I decided to wire tuck (a little but, not like a Honda...) and clean up the car.
Fast forward 9 months, and this is what I ended up with. Taken today on 8/19.
