It smelled like burnt paint chips that had fallen on the motor and were under the heat shield lol.
The tone of this motor is just so...... unique?! --------------------  |

Interior getting reassembled enough to drive it to get it licensed. Leaving rear speakers exposed so that they can be upgraded. Don't have RHD audio amplifier aparently... wasn't in the clip, so I need that if anyone has one.... LOL
Gonna put the trunk back together, lay the carpet in, put in the front seats only at this time. also just using the LHD ebrake at the moment with the LHD center console until I can source a RHD ebrake. I'll change it over then to RHD center console. Finish the center console with respect to the hvac stuff and I'll bleed the clutch, finalize my brakes and bleed those, put on some fenders and the headlights and bumpers/hood and It'll at least drive at that point. Once it drives, 2.5 exhaust all the way back, leaving stock cat. - unsure how I want to finish it... twin tip, angled, center, LFA style, up for suggestions here Licensing. Body work and paint. Keeping awesome color, Adding oem skirts, toms lip, maybe something on the rear so it helps tie in the exhaust better. Wheels. Chrome maybe - 5 spoke OR an MSR wheel . Haven't decided on 17" or 18" yet. 18's would be DIRTY but would have to run a 35 series tire to keep the speedo close. pretty sure 235/35-R18 fit perfect with the right offset. Don't want them too big though and hurt performance. Also might have some SUPER RARE (lol) parts going into and on the car. Just have to figure it out. Think I might go spoilerless for a while too, try it out. Get a window visor in place of it. Then I'll finish off the ss3 spec stuff to make it legit -------------------- |

get 17's bro with 215/45R17. getting 225/45 will be to large and gears will be to long. 18 not even. thin sidewall equals harsh ride and you'll lose power to the wheels with heavy rims
any updates?? This post has been edited by BonzaiCelica: Dec 4, 2012 - 2:16 AM -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

I think at this point it's easier to list the rare parts you don't have than the ones that you do.
