Just drop this here until I can get the higher resolution photos

Previously, and probably still known as the Asphalt from Saskatchewan (as no one else on this forum has registered another asphalt here), my car needs a renewed build thread as it has come a long way from its humble roots. Plus this lets me clean up the mess that once was my older build thread. So let's get started.

The numbers
  • Horsepower = ~260 w/HP
  • Torque = ~200 w/TQ
The Details...

  • DIY Rear LED fog light
  • JDM clear side markers
  • Toyota badges; front & back
  • Debagged FR-S
  • OEM Subaru fender garnish (WIP piece)
  • Rexspeed wide angle polarized side mirror replacements
  • HT Auto side skirts & rear spats
  • Ebay OEM-replica rear diffuser
  • LED switch-back front turn signals
  • LED side, fog, reverse and license plate lights

Hey I finally got a date for my car! September 14th!

So by then I will have all of my parts in my house waiting to be installed! I will probably end up ordering more for it too...LED DRL's and maybe some other cosmetic ideas are nice

Mr.Jay 08-21-2012 12:32 PM

And yes Mr. Jay... I do not even have my car yet lol. By the time it is broken in and I am installing my parts the leaves will be falling off and I will be drifting through fall :burnrubber:

Semi congrats! How you can sleep is beyond me!

SkAsphalt 08-23-2012 02:20 PM

mmm I am thinking of picking up some of these and installing them on my car for the winters (just in case I need some help out of the snow) but I wonder if anyone has made bumper port covers that have a perfectly cut out hole for tow straps yet

http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/oncirr...tow_straps.jpg

I could see people using these at the track and it would be pretty nice if I could just buy clean OEM looking bumpr plug covers as opposed to cutting my stock ones....

The main reason why I think this would be a good idea is because I have seen too many cars damaged by people hooking up tow lines to the wrong part/under the bumper incorrectly and then just ripping stuff off.

Quick little update, more parts have arrived
my EUCtek cable has arrived and I am preparing my Macbook Pro for a nice windows installation and my Airaid intake showed up today too! So now I have everything in BUT my Car (the biggest part here...really) and my SRT exhuast.

Slowly but surely! Will be one hell of an install once the car is broken in. Next spring when I sell my corolla I will probably pick up K3's because they seem to be the kit of choice for an awesome drop.

empower-auto 09-04-2012 06:38 PM

Just a FYI, the car comes with a tow hook in the trunk. So you will have one in case you get stuck.

Oh really? awesome! that is good news! Thanks :D
