Have to say they look pretty damn pro.

I have also decided to acquire a few more parts seeing that the gearbox will also be out as the same time as the engine, update coming soon.

Good news is all the major parts have arrived!

Just need to order a few more service parts and small rebuild essentials.

Bad news is that my pc blew up so no photo updates until it hopefully gets fixed which really is a shame as I have so much to updates.

Expect a major update soon.

Progress Update

I've decided to hold off the fitting of the brakes for a while to free up resources available for other choice parts that I either need to buy or pay for.

The brakes are however ready to fit...

The major news is that the main part I have been after for so long is finally completed and ready to send to me.

Another note is that Riko has sent me a pallet with all the 5EFHE engine parts he has helped me gather throughout the year, without his help I wouldnt be able to acquire anything really so big kudos to him.

So basically watch this space as there are some big changes coming and lots of nice updates.

All shall be revealed...

Deathnote Themes - Immense!!!


New backbox added and UR 4 Point Lower Arm Bar added

Those are the latest updates for parts actually on the car.

As for the differences they make, its a return to 4" jap style for me, albeit a lot louder (ordering exhaust bung) but definitely more flow when on wot. The Ultra Racing 4 Point Lower Arm Brace has been a revelation and certainly better clearance than the previous cusco 2 point brace. -1 deg Negative camber was also added taking advantage of the adjustable pillowball mounts on my Tanabe coilovers. I have had more before but the balance feels just right.

Photos coming soon.

Future Insight

I have been busy sourcing choice parts for the next major stage of the EP N/A Tuning Saga. Costs are mounting and time is well... taking its time but its going to be immense and expensive hahahahaha ~_~!...
