Marchocais' Build Thread
 

Influenced by:

Takumi788's Thread

I figured I would start my own build journal. I'm a slow builder but I need a place to keep my crap in order plus I want to start asking questions and stuff! I'll try to keep this updated.

Goals:
Short term - a daily driver that I can take to HPDE events and maybe autox here and there. I prefer HPDE but they are few and far between up here in the Finger Lakes, NY and they always seem to be on weekdays! Stupid work.

Long term- track, dedicated (like 5 years from now)

225/45ZR-17 Hankook RS3 on silver 17/8 +45 RPF1’s (track)

Looks like you're off to a great start. Post some more pictures when you can!

:w00t: nice car

Some pictures from the header install - and you can see the red HPS intake tube as well.

Looks nice - I wish I could see it more easily from the engine bay! Maybe a shaved bay project is in the future?
