I swapped out my crappy eBay air filter for a new k&n to have a more efficient FP intake air system today.

I made a couple of videos quckly depicting the HX35 in my car while I had it. The second one depicts some tips that you may use if you want to use the Punishment Racing FMIC and the bumper/bumper support.

I disassembled the turbo a little while ago and now that Im ready to put it back together I decided that since Im not going to polish it I'd still give it a shine.

Here are a few updates of the car. I had a long weekend so I threw myself in and started the big boi installs.

Before anything with the Prokit installed on stock struts.

I guess this is the first 'bolt on' part that I've installed in a while... I think it came out pretty cool. "Solarwing"

Ok not much of an update but I still like pics. lol

I disassembled the Tial wastegate and bov to verify which springs they had.

The MVS wastegate:



I ordered it with the 1 bar spring (14.5 psi) and verified that it was. So happy they didnt make a mistake. Gold...

Alright well I took a few pics of the new additions to the parts pile. I believe you guys already know that I chose to run the HX35 so some of these are aimed towards the Holset.

I bought a set of wrenches so my cool new AN fittings won't get TOO beat up while tightening:

Here's a video dedicated to my old 97 GST and its build. I always said I'd make a video so here it is. It's a long one.

Well this is my first entry in the Journal so we'll see how it goes.

I got my clutch set up a few days ago. ACT 2600 w/ a street disk. Im a little weary on the fact that I have a 7 bolt for you know what reasons.

I also dont like the fact pedal pressure will increase. Anybody know how bad the increase in pressure will be?
