Hey all. Been working on this build for quite some time and just looking for some fresh input. NEgative and positive is welcome just no flaming please.


I bought the Teg in '07 and she was completely stock. Drove her for about a year and started losing compression. After some other small issues I decided to finally dive into my full build and just go all out. She's been gutted, beat on and bandaged.

Here's a list of current parts:

F7 rear LCA's
Password JDM fenders + side markers
ASR rear subframe brace
Full-Race traction bar
K sport coilovers
All replaceable stock suspension bushings replace with ES bushings and re-coated
ST front sway bar
Shave and Tuck
Wilwood big brake kits all around (not installed yet)
New 2006 Sparco Torino's (never installed EVER)
Supertech +.5mm valves
Supertech dual springs and retainers
Supertech bronze valve guides
Seibon Carbon Fiber Hood and Hatch
Wicked Tuning Rear Camber and Toe kits
Skunk2 Pro front camber kit
Ingalls Front camber kit
(I will update this list as I come across parts as I know I'm forgetting something.)

I paid $900 for them a couple years ago. Bought them from a friend who got them for Christmas but never installed them. I love em. The next build I will be using Sparco's as well. Lol, it also helps that I'm direct with them ;). And thank you!!

They are definitely high quality. Recaro's are great and all, but I can't see going the other way. Lol I just realized I asked you about the logo shift boots on the other forum. And thanks again for the kind words.

Nathan there's a lot of money already into this, but now that I've already done some I know there are a lot of places I could have saved money. If you need any help just let me know. And thank you.

If I commit to do a wire tuck, I'm going to have a ton of questions!!! Not sure If I'm going to go through with it yet.

I'll be the first to admit a true wire tuck takes a lot of work. The best piece of advice I could give you though is to pull the ENTIRE harness out. It made things so much easier sitting on my office floor with my laptop right next to me. But like I said if you have any questions about anything feel free to ask. I will answer to the best of my abilities.

Lol good deal. Are you eliminating anything or keep all of the extras?

I plan for her to be a season DD. Driven only in the warm weather. But my all around goal is to get kicked from the local track. If you run anything 11 and under around here with a roll cage then that'll be your final run. So I aim to do just that. And thank you for the kind words.
