Back from US, S15 makeover continues....
Umm yeah, so its been a very long while again since last S15 build threads.
I've been away for an trip to US hosted by Benny (formely known as Phoenixeus) which was crazy trip overall.
Guys during the trip (Lagano,AJ,Niatross,Bigsmoke,Macaron,and many many other dudes) were just like my close friends,
and respectively very skilled in their own stuffs. it's a bit sad that we missed 'Final Bout', a drift matsuri due to flight schedules.
But yea, scrap it and proceed to main course. Us guys already went to track day aswell.


So my s15 has went through massive makeover as an racecar again! As you notified on previous thread,
Early this year I ordered a full set of GP Sports G-Sonic aero for S15.. which fortunately arrived some days right before the US trip.
Hopefully this masterpiece of 12k V$ won't break up easily under hard-driven hot lap sesh.
And also, my crew is highly hoping to finish the car by October, still lots of work to be done.



Next up, finally big wang!
I was looking for a professional man to fabricate a legit GT wing since brought the S15,
then I managed to hook up with a man who is able to fabricate any kind of wings.
And some months later.. he built a super-duper carbon wing so-called 'Super GT custom' style by himself.
I really dont know if its really inspired by Super GT racecars but yea, it rocks hard with a fee of 600V$!



Then I installed whole new Tein mono sport coilover for 1800V$,
along with strengthened tie rod set from same manufacturer for 220V$. (both incl. shipping fee).
Now no more struggles from old, worn out cheap coilovers, haha.
Old shock absorbers were leaking all around and not to mention no damping at all, especially at rear.



I went full S E N D on brakes and rims.
Full willwood brake kit for both front&rear for 4500V$, 6pot calipers at front, 4pot at rear.
And the infamous Nakamura rims; Rays 57CR 18x9.5 for 1700V$!!
Its going to produce maximum craziness, no doubt.



But still, there are many things left- Powertrain and drivetrain.
Most of the parts are on the way from overseas, so keep my thread focused!


~Finances~
Current V$=14317V$
8x paychecks=7520V$
All of the parts bought=19120V$

21837V$-19120V$=2717V$ (rip wallet)
