When I first got the car (at my dad's shop Bay #1)


(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e3/Steven_Escalante/20140222_071932_zps8e39608e.jpg) (http://s36.photobucket.com/user/Steven_Escalante/media/20140222_071932_zps8e39608e.jpg.html)

Gave it a quick cleaning

A friend sold me these rims from his g37 for $200 (4 w/ Tires)


(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e3/Steven_Escalante/20140311_191216_zpsbb3352d0.jpg) (http://s36.photobucket.com/user/Steven_Escalante/media/20140311_191216_zpsbb3352d0.jpg.html)

Rims mounted. Car feels smooth but a bit too high for my liking.


(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e3/Steven_Escalante/20140523_125503_zps6cc20bc9.jpg) (http://s36.photobucket.com/user/Steven_Escalante/media/20140523_125503_zps6cc20bc9.jpg.html)

Decided the next thing to do was to get the 04-05 TSX Intake Manifold


(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e3/Steven_Escalante/20140527_201352_zpsb3d9e433.jpg) (http://s36.photobucket.com/user/Steven_Escalante/media/20140527_201352_zpsb3d9e433.jpg.html)

Oil catch can arrived! (Still not installed)


(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e3/Steven_Escalante/20140607_174514_zpsfe1943a0.jpg) (http://s36.photobucket.com/user/Steven_Escalante/media/20140607_174514_zpsfe1943a0.jpg.html)

Now lowered on Tein S-Techs! I also shaved and painted over the original infiniti wheel caps.

I'll update once I receive my parts. (HIDs, foglights, and pulleys)

EDIT: I just saw your profile and damn! Your accord is pretty much my goal.

No. I don't like how turbo cars drive. You will see when I am finished.
