richracing Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 This is my first s30, bought it January 2011 from a guy in Atlanta, GA for $3500. Since then, I've been working on it pretty steady, taking care of the bodywork and paint and getting the ol L28 to run properly with the aftermarket cam and stock ecu . cut springs... ZX hood vent and fender mirrors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richracing Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 ...Not a single response or constructive criticism? In fact the only response to my build thread was the grammar police warning me about my sentence structure. I am sorry, I wasn't aware that the captions for my pics had to be in complete sentence format. I will try better next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Looks good dude. Really not much criticism for ya, honestly. Personally I think I would have painted the hood and the valence so they look like they're part of the car, and not an after thought, but aside from that, it looks good. What are you power goals?

richracing Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 It will probably be repainted after I'm done with everything else, so I will most likely paint the hood and air dam then. Honestly, I ran out of material and I was okay with leaving them black. My power goal is at least 450 at first, and then maybe a little more boost and tuning once I have some more seat time in it. I am hoping this turbo won't be too laggy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richracing Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 I figure I'll post a lil review on the CX turbo manifold that I'm using... Although the runner design obviously isn't the best, not being equal length and what not, it is made of thicker steel than I've ever seen on a CX manifold. and the welds look alot cleaner inside and out. Overall, I think it will hold up just fine, as long as it allows the t67 to spool up quick enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EF Ian Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Like the work so far. Thats a pretty big looking turbo, hopefully it won't be too laggy, when I get an RB in mine its either going to be twin turbo or a smallish single, 400hp would be plenty for me as long as it is responsive and has very little lag, I hate lag.

richracing Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 It's actually only a .63 ar, so I don't think it will be too laggy. I think it's just the huge compressor housing that makes it look that big. I am excited to see how it performs for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richracing Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 haha I wish I had something to update. Haven't been able to buy any parts in the last 2 months since I got into an accident in a government vehicle here in Korea (shitty Korean drivers) so my pay has been super slim lately. However I am about to buy some s2k seats for a super low price, and also buying an AEM boost gauge/electronic controller. That's about it. Hopefully my buddy Jon back in Mobile, AL will start putting the RB in soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richracing Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 I just picked up this used Top Fuel boost gauge... Other than that, no real updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
