You do some amazing, quality work! I am thoroughly impressed. Everything looks factory installed and custom fitted. It truly sets your car above everyone else's builds.

Wow... thanks for that compliment! I am thoroughly enjoying building my 86.

Aero up next followed by a HKS supercharger.

Unfortunately I experienced some rubbing in the rear (more on the passenger side) after my alignment.

Here is the thing though, driving home from my alignment I had no issues...today I had a 6'5" 240lb friend and two gym bags and a case of water so @280 lbs of extra weight... Tomorrow I'll have to drive it again without the extra weight.

Either way I want to make some adjustments...

Figured out my rubbing issue... the brace that protects the emergency brake cable was contacting the inside of my wheels. Bent the brace away from the wheel and the grinding went away... going to test out the suspension this weekend.

Finally an update to my build...

Today I ordered the URAS sideskirts, rear diffusers, and spoiler (all FRP) to go along with my Tamon Design GT3 front lip (also FRP).

This is what it will look like...

I was considering the Vertex sideskirts and rear diffusers but decided on these because of the design and rarity of the kit.

the waiting game begins...

Purchased a set of APR CF side view mirrors second hand as well as a brand new set of unpainted TRD front fender aero fins. Sometime this week, I will order a Beatsonic unpainted fiberglass roof spoiler.

I finally will have all my aero parts ordered! I am going with matte black on some parts, others will be matte black along with 37J.

I now need to do my homework on the paint shops in my area. Matching the pearl white to my liking will not be an easy task. Crossing my fingers I find the right shop to do the work...

Hoping to have the 86 ready for HIN Houston in December.

I really envy your dedication and attention to detail! truly epic and definitely one of the cleanest going around. I thought I had slight OCD but you take it to the next level haha

Thanks for the comp...

This is how OCD I can be... lol

This gunk on the undercarriage was driving me nuts... I will run a bead of a less messy sealant in it's place.

cleaned...

I cover my wheels and tires with towels when washing my 86 so to avoid getting water on my brakes and suspension components...

I then remove each wheel and wash them off the 86, I then apply tire gel. While the wheels are off, I also wipe down the wheel wells, brakes, and suspension components.

My 86 has never seen water that didn't come from a water hose...its good to have a beater car!

Now that is OCD...

wicked build man, keep it up

Installed a Fumoto valve with nipple (Part #: F-108N)... placed a plastic cap over nipple and safety wired the lever in the closed position out of precaution.

Ordered a few items today:

FRS Battery Tray and Shorai Battery...I purchased it from KCMachine.com
Btw, I received awesome customer service from Colin!

Black Switch Assembly Console buttons. **I'm going to continue modifying my interior soon, silver is just not going to work.**

Miscellaneous small parts...detail pieces.
