LOL I'm not one to "brag" about how much I spent on my car and I get it asked a lot. However... Those go for; $2500-$3000.

Thanks! :icon18: :tup:

Thanks Robert. Just don't tell me that was each! :eek:

That's pricing for a set, not each

^ +1!

Little update;

I have less than 10 payments on the car itself and hopefully I get a job I applied for and it's game on. I've decided to stick with the VQ35DE and do a complete Cosworth build.

Also upgrading the BBK;

StopTech Trophy Sport Kit

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._5077155_n.jpg

Fully forged aluminum construction with hard anodized finish
Patented, bolt-in bridge minimizes caliper compliance for a firmer pedal
Stiffest 6 Piston caliper currently on the market
Uses standard FMSI D1247 pad
ST-40 uses standard FMSI D372 pad
Front & Rear floating 355mm x 32mm rotors
ALL finished parts are 100% leak down and pressure tested to 2500 PSI
Uses a popular pad shape readily available in over 15 street performance and race friction compounds
Over 19 different piston size combinations available to tune brake torque to the needs of each individual application
Differential piston sizes minimize pad taper for longer pad life and a firmer pedal
Dust boots are standard for reduced maintenance on Sport Trophy Kits

Lastly I'm doing a complete suspension upgrade of all SPL components and coil overs from Tanabe.

Tanabe Sustec Pro SEVEN with TEAS

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._5527311_n.jpg

SEVEN advances the technologies and greatest strengths of previous high performance Tanabe suspensions like the RR & DD even further. While similar in appearance, the SEVEN is completely different from any suspension currently available. The difference lies within the suspension itself and its highly unique internal construction and slide valve technology.

The new slide valve technology allows a great range of adjustability and function from both sides of the performance spectrum. (comfort to pure competitive motorsports use)

When used with the new TEAS electronic active suspension controller, the wide range of dampening force is accessible through the touch of a button, and is fully programmable to automatically adjust dampening rates according to the speed you drive.

When used with the new TEAS electronic active suspension controller, the driver can program TEAS to automatically adjust Sustec Pro SEVEN - HARD DRIVING version to automatically change dampening force based on studied entry and exit speeds of various turns, as well as average lap speed.

And lastly... My 3rd gear went on me couple weekends ago. So I'm thinking of adding the OS Giken close ratio gear kit;

http://splparts.com/store/avactis-im..._NS052_1_0.jpg

OS Close Ratio Gear Kits are produced for those seeking improved drive train performance and faster lap times. Gear ratios are carefully calculated for each application for the sole intention to improve your transmission's performance, and maximize your engine torque band on the track.

Each OS gear has been carefully designed and created using selected only forged quality materials, for extra strength and durability. In addition to using forged materials, gears are also hard shot peened for increased strength, load capacity and reliability.

1st 2.783 / 2nd 1.961 / 3rd 1.507 / 4th 1.217 / 5th 1.000 / 6th 0.812

If I don't go with this gear set I'm also considering the Quaife tranny but concerned about streetability. We'll see... Much more to come. :tup:

Looks boring, do something interesting. :p
