powdercoating! Sweet! but the coater did not know any better, and coated the flange surfaces... and he even argued it would be okay! lol..nope


IMG_20110426_154800 by ae8620vlevin, on Flickr
a machine shop provides a much better surface.

IMG_20110507_194659 by ae8620vlevin, on Flickr
cleaned injectors and installed all new seals, also blasted the fuel rail and drilled and tapped for an fittings.



IMG_20110513_181431 by ae8620vlevin, on Flickr
Put my shifter on so I can make some cool noises and pretend!
Also while Im on drivetrain not pictured is the spec stage 3 clutch and a new slave and master along with brand new shift fork and hub release(which was a pain to install btw!) and a full braided line from master to slave.

Nice I like what I see so far. Are you making the motor mounts yourself or buying them?

damn nice looking build and i've always liked the Power Enterprise belts

Actually Its a gates kevlar belt^ but I believe they actually make the PE belts and greddy aswell.. I got the mounts from driftmotion. but after seeing em I do have the rescources and skill to make em.. oh well saves me some time..

I got anxious to see how they looked so I threw on one side and set my Tein coilovers a bit lower really quick. Also if you cant tell I got some blingy super duper badass lightweight Ti. Lugnuts!


IMG_20110514_160625 by ae8620vlevin, on Flickr
went junkyard hunting and scored!! some connectors a new ignitor for my stinger ems setup and a relay box for a clean oem look. Also got a paseo throttle cable cause stock was way too short.


IMG_20110514_183417 by ae8620vlevin, on Flickr
well it was Waaay too long and needed the supra mounts.. luckily I am pretty handy with a dremmel and some titanium devcon (really expensive jbweld)I got at the shop! I cut it to the correct length and cut the sheathig accordingly then put on the supra firewall mount and used adhesive shrinkwrap to assist holding it in place. Then with a sparkplug cardboard piece filled with devcon and put the cable through, I then removed the cardboard and cut the devcon down to look oem. ^ Sorry Only pic I got..



IMG_20110513_181449 by ae8620vlevin, on Flickr
with a little work it gained some clearance.. but still needs some intervention with a tig!

And here is the final result! I am pretty impressed with myself if I do say so!!

Anyways now you all are current and I got some more work to do!

That's a trick looking MKIII man. The wheels really sets it off better than most MKIIIs I've seen over the years. Very nice build AJ.

diddo^ the wheels are a good choice for the car.

the motor is badass.

Thanks guys. I like the wheels and planned on getting them powdercoated to be the same color front it gravity gullflame and out back is xxr 522 as you probably noticed front is 18 while the rears are 19. The plan all along was Rs wats in 16x9.5 all around but I cant buy new as it would cost waaay too much and its almost impossible to find in 5x114.3 bolt pattern used..Im looking into building some bbs rs in 16x9.5 and thats the way Ill probably go as the 19s wont offer me the traction needed and the 16s will...aswell as better tire selection for the 16s..Im leaving to yuma for a month or so and plan to finish when I get back. Stay tuned for more updates.

looks good

Been awhile, got some work done.

manifold and downpipe welded.




Just love this pic


Wiring almost sorted, first rough draft of diagram, parts are i and almost finished panel

New intercooler. wont work too well with the stock intake manifold.

Koyo RAD and FAL fans.

Couple of teaser pics (and motivation for me..)


O hai!

Might have somethin to do with this..

Yep, lower runner cut and base plate welded on

Also started working on hot side piping. Heres what I got, still need to weld though.
