projekt zeal86 (build thread)

[zeal86]

Ok... so here is an update on my build:

My side view mirrors, my roof spoiler, my aero fins, and my front lip were dropped off today with the painter. All these pieces will be painted a matte black color.

I was informed through email that my Uras aero kit would arrive stateside today...I should have that shipped out to me soon... Part of the kit as well as some interior pieces will be painted 37J...other parts of the aero kit will be painted the same black color as the previously mentioned parts.

I think I will order some overland designs interior pieces in the near future... problably the shift boot, the pull handles, and the emergency brake boot.

Anyway projekt zeal86 is coming along great!

Pumped to see the final product!

Received my Uras aero kit (skirts, rear diffusers, and spoiler) today. Everything made it in one piece! Btw, I'm going with the Tamon Design GT3 front lip instead of the Uras front lip.

Will post fitment pics when I get around to fitting all the pieces.

My first thoughts were... wow... these are well made! Awesome quality FRP! Test fitted a rear diffuser and it was spot on. Luckily they are black gel coated... it helps me visualize my ideas for my paint scheme.

More to come...

Pulled all the silver interior pieces out as well as the radio and gauge cluster trim pieces...

All my interior pieces are to be painted whiteout, all my exterior parts will be painted matte black...

Everything is now with the painter. Can't wait to have everything installed!

Nice attention to detail! Liking the build so far

[zeal86]

Today I finally pulled the trigger on several JPM Coachworks products; I ordered :

- Gauge cluster hood in black Alcantara leather with red stitching

- A/C vent trim in black Alcantara leather with red stitching

- Red Alcantara leather shift boot with black stitching

- Red Alcantara leather emergency brake boot with black stitching

Also ordered a Beatrush duracon white shift knob and anodized red dual climate control knob covers to complete the interior (for now).

All interior silver trim pieces and radio trim and gauge cluster bezel will be painted whiteout (37J).

Can't wait to install/reinstall all these parts! Pics coming soon!

Okay so I received all my interior pieces from the painter last night and my JPM Coachworks Alcantara wrapped parts this morning...I reinstalled everything except for the emergency brake boot (I'll take care of that in the morning)... I just have to adhere the boot to the OEM panel.

I installed my TRD aero fins last night and my Beat-Sonic roof spoiler today. I should get my aero kit pieces back sometime tomorrow...I will be installing them asap.

I will be posting pics of my latest modifications soon.

I also prepped and painted the chrome trim around the push button start button anodized red (coordinates well with my anodized red HVAC control knob covers).

I have Mishimoto and Ark parts on my car which are not Japanese but the majority of my major systems are or will be Japanese engineered or made. My suspension setup is exclusively comprised of Japanese manufacturers (RS*R & Beatrush) My brake system is also Japanese... I could have gone Willwood, StopTech, Essex, etc. but I chose Runduce for the same reasons I'm choosing HKS over other superchargers.

I hope so too! I know you're going with it because of the Japanese theme, but did you consider any other kits (turbo or sc)? Also did you have a goal in terms of power?

I did consider the Greddy turbo kit but decided on the HKS. I only want to make 250hp - to 300hp safely.

Unfortunately I'm not going to make it to HIN Houston tomorrow. A few things didn't work out in my favor... mainly timing.

Anyway... I decided against installing my Tamon Design GT3 front lip. I went ahead and ordered the Uras front lip to complete the full Uras aero kit. Now the waiting game begins...

Btw, the height of the Tamon Design GT3 front lip doesn't match up to my liking with the Uras skirts. I will be selling the front lip if anyone is interested shoot me a PM... it has a fresh coat of Hot Rod Flats black. I'll try to post pics of the lip this weekend.

Going to do a few more mods and prep for early 2016 shows.
