there is other things I did not include, like aftermarket gauges. led third brake light, new brake color, and other small things.
MUCH MORE TO COME! My plan is boost. But that takes money! And lots of it with how I want the build to go. The car currently has a great tune on it thanks to an amod member here. He has been MIA for a bit. But I hope he comes back soon to finish tweaking it. |
Holding for future pics if needed
|
It has come a long way!!! great job!
|
Thanks man. Still have alot more to go! But I love this car. And it has always been a fun project.
|
I wonder if I should go back through mine and tally up a price list lol.... most of my pictures don't even show up anymore lol.
Your car has come a long way nate! I really like the current state and want to see the turbo build fast!!! |
Im extremely happy with my current look. Dont think it will change. Except for my one final secret mod ;)
|
That the one we've talked about or something completely new and secretive? :)
|
We have talked about! Only you, babyblue, ryan, and 1 gagt member know atm :)
|
I have an idea but not so sure it is a huge secret
|
What you got
|
Gold pm'd me thinking functional bubble hood. Nope. That is being sold to jawa. You'll nevrr know till im done. Parts arrive today for it.
|
Must be nice to get delivery on Saturday.... unless it's a private sale up here the delivery companies and postal service are closed on weekends...
I wanna see this by tonight lol :p |
Hahaha ill show you pics of items tim. For sure! And yeah postal is open 6 days a week. Closed sunday only.
|
that is a very pretty car man. Looked nice with the blue strips.
2 things real quick. does the washer reservoir fill mess with the CAI route? and I noticed the pall malls, do you smoke in your car? I had those window trim pieces and that was the only way I could smoke in mine if it was raining. one came off when I was cleaning snow off and instead of fixing it I just took em all off. |

I really need to update it, she looks different now, but with how lazy i am, and with so little traffic here on the forum now. I feel its not worth it. :( No, the wash tank doesnt interfere with it. I just wanted to remove it. I never use my wipers, and the car doesnt see rain/snow so no need for it. I love my car clean and my windshield clean, i cant stand a dirty windshield, I personally hate seeing wiper marks on the windshield cause then i feel the car is dirty, so i dont use them. I may just remove the wiper blades/motor eventually hahaha. I USED to smoke, and yes i smoked in the car. I am now 1.5 months sober of a cigarette. Ive been wanting to quit for awhile. And thanks! Im always posting pictures of the car on instagram, if you wanna give me a follow to see recent stuff its "destinyalero" i post more pictures there of thr car then anywhere. Lol Edit: and yeah i loved the fender stripes. Sometimes i think about bringing them back.... |
Post up when the hood is on!

I post more then most, but most of the time i come here now, there is nothing to really reply to. :(
Dont get me wrong i love this site. I come here more then anywhere else, just cause i dont post dont mean im not here! Believe me, im mad that facebook has taken over car forums... Its very stupid |
Also, i dont think the rear would look good with stripes. I like light blue more then dark.

np bro! |
So any opinion what 'the best' mod was so far?
For looks, I'd say the blue fender stripes. Without it's somehow not your car. For the engine, and internal mods I can't even guess. What I would deem an unnecessary mod? The manual transmission. I personally don't want to drive a manual anymore. Especially not on german roads with german rushhour traffic :( Very cool to post such an overall thread with prices. Very much welcome |
Yeah im missing the fender stripes. Been debating bringing them back. I love my MMS headers and 6 speed trans alot. And my new cowl hood. Id say those are my top favorites. And my racing seats. Idk. I have a lot of things i like. Nothing i dont really dislike. If i dislike something i wouldnt have it :)

Do it! Bring back the fender stripes lol. They really did look good on your car. |
I thought so too lol
|
Yeah man lol.
|
I really like the 6 speed swap. you will likely have an easier time getting power to the ground through that if you go boosted. How has it been for you thus far? How involved was the swap? The car is very nice all around. Good job.
|
He doesn't drive it anymore... It sits under a car cover while he rides his bike around :(
|
Thanks, the hardest part is welding in a trans mount. But i didnt do the swap cause idk how to weld. I had milzy motorsports swap it for me. Its definitely a big difference over the aito.
|
I take it that Milzy Motorsports is still up and running? They sell just the mounts for the swap it looks like too. I am tempted to look into the 6 speed. I have a pretty good connection at a local junkyard, and wouldnt bother me to have to weld just one mount. Did it require a reflashed PCM?
