    Suckmycack's Build Thread!

    Hey guys, don't really post on here but more of a lurker and decided to make a build thread.

    I have a 2008 phantom black Gsr. Bought it on May 23 2013

    The car had a few mods installed already.
    Injen UICP
    Injen Intake
    Eibach lowering springs
    Do-Luck style Seibon trunk.



    Day 2 of owning it, my brother decided he didn't want his old wheels and gave them to me.


    5-27-13
    Within the same week, I found a set of Megan coilovers for really cheap for the condition they were in. Decided to get them and will upgrade once I decide to track the car. Also got an MXP catback exhaust.





    5-31-13
    After owning the car for about a full week. A lady decides to make a left turn on my green and I can't stop in time and T-bone her and she ends up hitting 2 other cars (one being a 640i BMW)



    Fortunately for me, the car still ran and didn't leak anything. I still had to drive to work for a couple days after this happened. I limped it around town (notice the ghetto wire holding the hood shut)

    6-19-13
    Ended up finding a good body shop and the repairs began



    While the car was being repaired for during the next couple weeks, I managed to scoop up a ETS o2 dump downpipe!



    6-21-13
    Here's the car the day I got it back! Ohh yea! The insurance also allowed the body shop to order an AMS front mount intercooler since it was cheaper for them than the OEM one! WOOOO!



    6-27-13
    Got the AEM boost gauge and the wideband


    7-3-13
    Got tuned by the one and only BAKA! Car made good power for basic bolt ons running on piss 91.


    8-19-13
    Messing around with my younger brother and taking pics of the car



    8-25-13

    I liked my brothers Rpf1's too much. I had to get some too.




    9-24-13
    I was driving down the freeway when I heard metal clanging on the ground. Pull over to the nearest gas station and LOOK! My downpipe decided to break.




    I drove back on the freeway and went on the shoulder and eventually, with the help of my friend found the dump pipe on the side of the road. My dad welds by profession so I had him weld it back up and make a different bracket to make it stronger this time around.


    There were a few months where I bought a couple things but just never took pictures of any of it. Mishimoto radiator, MODE short shifter, and a few odds and ends.

    I wanted to try something different in the wheel section, sold the rpf1's and got Nt03+M



    5-14-14
    I felt that the front bumper was missing something major. Got a cheap lip. Didn't care that it was a rep. Its more than likely gonna break a lot sooner than later.



    5-19-14 thru 7-3-14
    Ordered the (stage 2) brake kit from Maperformace, CMC also from MAP, EF4, ARP headstuds, shifter cable bushings, AMS AC delete, ACT ME3-HDSS, ID2000's all my drivetrain fluids, GSC S2 cams, valvesprings and retainers, and an ETS tubular manifold.




    7-02-14
    Bought a manifold heat shield from Boost Resource.




    7-3-14
    Bought a LICP from Alfred at Tuning Tech. Nice guy and gave me a good deal!


    7-5-13
    Got rid of the MXP catback and ended up getting the Top Speed Pro exhaust.




    7-7-14
    Taking the babe out for a ride.

    TIME TO INSTALL ALL OF THE STUFF!





    7-17-14
    Radium fuel rail and fuel pressure regulator came in!



    7-30-14
    My friend came down to visit from palm springs. Took a few pics of his car.



    8-2-14
    First day I start the car and test drive it down the block. I see a nail in the tire.
    Drove the car to the shop and got the tire patched up. Also ordered the Walbro 450lph fuel pump.


    *SOUND CLIP OF THE EXHAUST*


    8-4-14
    Here's the most current shot of the engine bay. (hopefully that ugly coolant reservoir tank is gone soon, ordered a Driven Fab catchcan!)

    8-7-14
    Installed the STM Small battery kit. It holds the battery a lot better than I thought it would. I like it!


    8-8-14
    Dropped the car off at 5150 Racing to get the Cams, valvesprings, retainers, fuel pump, injectors, fuel rail, FPR and headstuds installed. Also a dual map tune from BAKA!

    Here's the dyno sheet!

    Also here's a picture of the engine bay (going to replace the intake with a 3.5" intake soon)

    Bad ass build thread man !! Bounced back after the wreck and came back better then before. That's my plan right now, you gave me a lot of motivation to bounce back as we'll.

    Thanks man! Yea, that's basically what I did to keep me motivated to keep going. A few times when I had everything in my room and almost contemplated stopping. I pushed myself by buying something better each time something went wrong. Lol

    Thanks! Just do it man, as much work as it was it was fun and would do it again. Even if it's something minor, it was always something a little better in mind. That kept me going, amongst wanting to drive the car after it being down for so long. Lol

    Nice work! By the look of it, a lot of fun to drive. Stay out of Irvine with that exhaust.

    Thank you! It is, it's a blast. I'm gonna get retuned to try to make some more low end power with a bigger intake soon. Hopefully more fun! Lol. And yes, Irvine is a no go in my book already. Lol
