arob157's Build Thread

Bought some winter tires. Finally sold then this past winter. Still kicking thanks to COVID. Kind of weird. But the guy was gonna re-wrap them in all seasons.

I bought a Eurcode DP. Fantastic fitment. Got it ceramic coated. Prep sucked. It flaked. They reworked it. I bought an IE because I wanted a deeper tone without all the tinny bull shit.

That worked. Sound was great with a stock DP + 19730 res. More to come.


FAHK SNOW. But Iowa life and snow is kind of rad.

Around this time I was pretending like I was going to go visit Diggs. But I didn't, I just kept rolling on by.

Had some places to be in the south land. So installed that BFI engine mount. Good break in for the mileage.

TT-S brakes do not clear Miro 111s or any of the similar 18/8.5/et45 variants that are similar.

All good. Just a bit wide. Need 2.5deg camber + 3-5mm spacer. Didn't want that life.

That time I bought that Mamba 10-blade turbo or whatever the fuck it was, and it spewed shavings out of it.

Reassessed at that point on the turbo front.

Good decision.

That one time I found out I had someone local that could rebalance turbos. So nabbed a rebuild core and had them balance it.

Wheel was super close to factory specs. Local was kind of surprised. Sold this IS38 in 2020 and is still pumping in 2022.

Bro, the point of a build thread is to provide documentation, as in typing your explanation of what you are doing, and not just pictures with no explanation of what the picture is.

Yea... I feel this thread is super weird, haha. As I got to page two it occured to me it's probably too late but I hope a full auto scan/module adaptation map was taken before the changes started.

Alright. Apologies.

Enough weirdness for you kids. Brains are melting out of skulls. Was testing a photo only build thread and will continue to some degree. Trying to counter the Acadia thread that opines about Alibaba/steering wheels on the daily. But glad you all at least tuned in for the weirdness lol.

Hadn't started a build thread years ago. Will fill in context as time allows including the OP.

This thread is the equivalent of a requiem for a dream.

I like it and overall think i am following lol.

was strongly considering that turbo at some point, how is it?
