I'll jump in on this build thread as its a good one. Good choice on the wheels. The ones you have on currently are hideous. Good build though. Keep it up.

 

the current ones look alright in person. when i got them last year, reminded me of a hot wheel lol.

 

Lol. I totally see hot wheel now that you mention it. I'm sure the enkei's will be a lot lighter too. The car will accelerate quicker when you put the lighter wheels on (if that makes any sense). Super conservative on that tune, especially with the EMS2. Can't wait to have my ems installed and tuned. I'm gonna have to pick your brain regarding the fan controls as well.

 

I would need a second car if i wanted to go ***** out on a tune haha. I couldn't drive that thing everyday.
reason i have the fan control is because Dezod failed to mention how the hell to hotwire the fans in their instructions for their EMS2. lol I had to drive the car with the A/C on because the fans dont work with the EMS. It was easier for me at the time to get a fan control then trying to go back and dig into the wiring harness to find where i have to wire the fans. i just couldnt figure out how. the kit was only like 35 bucks off summit racing and took an hour to install.

 

I know about the fan control and they did mention that i'd have to hardwire the fans. Just wasn't sure how i was going to do that, lol. You did the install yourself or the shop that tuned it did it?

 

I had the shop that tuned it install the ems. it was gonna be easier that way. I didnt want to try to remove my F/IC then try to install the EMS.

 

i dont think the current wheels look bad at all. but yea if you went lighter you could lose a little weight on the car.

 

PM me when you get to this part, I'll hook you up.

 

PM'd

 

They do look ok, but i think these will look and ride better. better. I got to sell some stuff now to pay for these new rims haha. Im going to try to get some decent photos with these rims on before i get rid of them.

 

RS Lip Installed.
Headlights Painted Black
CCFL Halos Removed
LED Strips relocated.

 

Question. How do you to about opening your headlights. My teg I used the oven but a mk6 had to cut?
Also looks nice but let's see them lights

so here are the lights. Sorry i took so long to post these lol.

Took the lights apart. Painted them black then used some side emitting LED Strips that i got from superbrightleds. drilled some holes and tada...

 

They look much better now to be honest

That looks awesome!

 

NICE! I remember having this setup on mine with the LED strip inside until i got bored of it and went for halos. White cars always look clean so thats a plus for you. where did you get the eye lids from?

 

So random side note.... i wanted to give my opinion on the Tsudo catback exahust.... poorly made but its a good price for an OK exhaust... resonator cracked from vibrations a few months ago so i got that replaced with a magnaflow resonator. even replaced the exhaust hangers with better ones to hopefully solve the vibration problem. it worked well under normal driving conditions, but the muffler would occasionally would slip off the hangers due to vibrations and occasional hard driving.
as of yesterday, i dont have an exhaust anymore because somehow it magically decided go start dragging on the ground (all due to extremely hard driving aka autocross in the rain). the bolts connected to the S-pipe (the ones with those ____ty spring things) broke off, but no major damage to anything else. anyways... its time for an upgrade to 3" that will actually stay on the car. To save money, im planning on having a shop make me one unless i can find an inexpensive 3"


I went the other way around. I had halos, but went to LED strips. I got them from NIA for $110 painted. ive had them on the car since i bought it back in 2012 and im pretty sure i will never be able to take them off. http://niaautodesign.com/s_scion.html

 

My New Custom 3" cat-back.
I didnt back to the shop fast enough before they took the car off the lift, but heres some pics. Ill post a video clip later.

 

looks good, how does it sound now?

 

Looks like a quality job. I'm interested to hear a sound clip as well.
