Thanks

Power Enterprise V-mount is on the way...Ill be sending out a set of stock manifolds I have sitting here for PNP and extrude honing and maybe get a stock manifold, TB and TGv's done at the same time. Once I get them back Ill have everything jet hotted and put it all on the car.

Then Ill do the Zero2r's, ti front...CF rear strut bars and V-brace

After that I have to decide between th GP moto GT32 kit with 51lb wheel, Perrin GT30r kit or UR gt30r kit with a set of PE injectors

As far as Ice, Ill be going with the chargespeed full lip kit al around in CF and a apr rear CF diffuser. My friend is a pioneer rep and is getting me a AVIC-Z1 pretty cheap as well.

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Zero2R's don't let you use the F-Con right? Hmm you can V-brace that rear CF Cusco Strut Brace? Nice.....I was thinking about if you could or not. The APR Diffuser is something I will def want to see....that is slowly crawling on my list!

No f-con with the 2r's, but I dont really think I need all those extra gizmos, I prefer better coilovers and having to change the settings then settling for a lesser coilover and have bells and whistles, plus, the 2r's are lighter

looks good.

[nice-rice]

Your car sure is coming along great, nice job. I love the wing.

Thanks

[bickford]

[b00st3d]

ooo cant wait to see the v-mount

[Gimmick]

OK, so I got the thing installed tonight...Needless to say, all my rushing netted me the wrong hardware.

Thats what happens when you rush I guess.

Regardless of that,Heres some pics...I have a appt with amachine shop monday to go over final details on production of some lightweight pullies and other stuff so ill show him a idea I have for a odyssey/hawker battery specific battery tie down and poss just go that route.

Stock battery


Stock battery, hold down, and hardware weight


Odyssey battery


Odyssey battery weight



Installed pic


Basically shaved 15lbs off the nose. Not a huge amount but it all adds up. Keep in mind, this is the heaviest option of this battery.(not by much)

Thats a total weight loss of 165+lbs with over 100+ that I can still save with absolute with absolute ease.

nice! how much was the v-mount if you don't me asking?

[Gimmick]

OK, so heres the goodies...
Today was like christmas in Florida.
So many presents at my doorstep.
Got my test fit wheel from enkei...
18x9 et42 RC5 (I have wanted RC5's on a car since 2002 when enkei first brought the racing line to the US)
Now hopefully Ill be the first in the country (world?) To have them on my sti in this size.

Next is my new V-mount kit from Power Enterprise. (The FIRST one in Tthe US)


I dont care what anyone says, the craftsmanship and fin design on the IC looks amazing...
Heres a close up of the PE IC

And of a familiar fmic from a big name company

I think Ill do just fine with it, and the details PE gave me on some stuff they are doing in japan and the #'s they are getting prove it to me.
Unfortunatly I cant do any insalling this weekend because I set up a decent meet for sunfdsy, but we'll see...
I will get some logging done on coolant temps tomm as well to do a comparison for bgefore and after, I will change the thermostat after I have some data gathered with stock to stock.
