Thought I'd start a progress thread, have a lot of mods done already, just going to start out with some photos

Will update later with interior shots and a list of mods.

 

More pics

 

Looking good bro! Keep it up! Love the black gloss roof!

 

Lol NICE!!! yours is kinda the way I want to make my car im just missing the a spec front lip and type s a spec rear bumper and rims and taillights :P

 

Thanks! But your rear end is great! Just get some custom tail lights made from the guys on the forum! Other than that, your rear is great! I don't have a Type S rear. It's just Aspec for the 07/08 Base all around. I love the front Aspec for 04-06.

Enjoy your beauty!

 

Nice work....

 

 

Thnx but thats how I got the car lol cant leave it stock :P and damn thats the a-spec for the 07-08?

 

Thanks, those are actually modded depo tails, they're the ones rockstar did and sold in the BM. I had the OEM reds on there for a long time, actually have some custom headlights being done right now as well. Looking forward to putting them on eventually.

So the car is an '05 A-SPEC, the front and sides are the 04-06 underspoilers and the rear is the 07-08 Type-S underspoiler.

Some interior shots.

 

Wow.....

 

So jelly of you guys with the wiring skills. That looks like it came stock.

 

Thought I'd put up some pics of my Big 3 install since I haven't seen too many photos on the forum for them.

Used knukonceptz kolossus 1/0 gauge fleks cable. It's all their black cable, but they do make red as well.

My engine bay is pretty dirty.

 

Nice work.

 

Thanks.

Couple new mods today.

Finally got around to installed my P2R ported & polished lower runners and the outlaw engineering thermoblock spacer.

I've got the intake manifold back on now, just need to finish up in the morning and put the idler pulley, serpentine belt & strut bar back on.

I also did a valve adjustment while I was installing these, cleaned up the cylinder head covers and replaced all of the seals in the cylinder head covers. Also replaced all of the O-rings on my fuel injectors and cleaned out all of the carbon deposits from the intake manifold and throttle body. Oh, new PCV valve too.

While I was doing the valve adjustment I found all of the intake valves were fine and all of the exhaust valves were a little tight, not much at all though.

Car has about 103k miles on it now.

Some pics

 

All buttoned up and running great. Took it for about a 50 mile drive and no problems, no CELs or anything

Have a few more things going on with the car soon .. just waiting on parts.

Next mods are exterior, then after that I'll probably do the 3.7 mani/ZDX TB.

 

Looks beast

 

sub'd for more....


looking GREAT so far mzilvar

 

Anxious for more updates!

 

Thanks

I've got some major changes to the exterior coming. One smaller one and one bigger one is already installed, I'm going to hold out on pics until it's all done.

 

Modded the flasher circuit today to prevent hyperflashing for the LED turn signals I have in now.

Resistor was only like 30 cents each, beats installing load resistors since this actually changes the sense on the circuit. Thanks to Roger555 for posting this one.

Pics of my new headlights already installed too Will wait until I finish up the rest of the exterior stuff to put pics of the car up again.

 

Car lookin great man good shit

 

Got something else to keep me busy for a while since I'm waiting on other parts right now.

Going to be doing all the interior bulbs in the radio/doors/steering wheel/etc.

 

Nice work and good progress. Keep it up!

 

Keep the progress coming.

 

Got some of the interior bulbs done, not much today, probably start on the door panels tomorrow.

Hard to get good pictures at night to show the LEDs.

 

Nice progress man

 

Any videos of the exhaust? I'm looking into get the Rv6 HFPC for my car. I'm just curious if it's raspy at all. you Basically have the same setup as I do.
ATLP Base exhaust, RV6 V3 jpipe.

 

I can make a video later, I don't have any rasp though.

My setup may be a little different though since I have the quads and I had them put the resonator on it.

Is yours resonated?

 

Finished the driver's and passenger's side panels today.

Will get some pics with the LEDs on later once it gets a bit darker out.

Exhaust video is up too:

Here's the front panels.

One on my driver's side isn't quite as bright as the others.

All really bright though, I turned the brightness in the car all of the way down.

 

Amazing.......

 

All that's left is everything in the center and the cup-holder lighting. Probably do that part this weekend so I have more time since I'll be doing the radio as well.

Oops almost forgot have to do the steering wheel too.

 

Anxious to see it lit up!

 

The steering wheel buttons were a PITA, definitely the most difficult part so far.

After about 5 or 6 iterations trying different things this is what I ended up with.

I aimed them a little better after the photos.

Didn't see any pics of the HFL switches in any threads so I took a few extra of those.

Getting the polarity right on this is the big part, don't want to do it once and then have to disassemble it and re-do it like I did.

 

Here it is lit up.

I had to turn the brightness down quite a bit, these are a little too bright.

Probably should've used a few white ones like deathmetal did here and there, oh well.

Fixed the one in the driver's door that was out too, had a bad solder.

I killed quite a few LEDs doing the steering wheel, good thing I bought more than I needed. I tried using a single resistor for two LEDs in one of my attempts with the steering wheel switches. It blew both LEDs immediately when I plugged it in.

 

Amazing work, looks great

 

brother, you need to come to KS and do this mod for me LOL....

Great work as usual

 

Love it.....

 

Thanks, if I'm ever by that way I could help out haha

Thanks


Ran into a little problem today driving around, my cruise control got stuck on and I couldn't shut it off. It didn't try to change the acceleration or anything, just the mode button shorted to the resistor that was tied to ground and the light came on on the instrument cluster.

Fixed it now though, but photo shows a good example of what not to do with this one. I was thinking about it as I was re-assembling it, but was so sick of those switches I figured the tape would hold out, didn't even last a day until the pin poked through and hit the resistor.

Didn't take very long at all to fix it today.
