I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

NDFsean's EM1 restoration build

Post by Sean @ NDF » May 27, 2011

Hey guys,

Thought I'd give a quick update on my car.

Update 1: I haven't done shit to it in years.

Haha, just kidding. I sadly parted ways with my Volk NR-S, and picked up some sweet ass PDM Spun Supermesh to roll on until I find another set of Volk GR-N's - and it looks like that day has come. I have had a set (2) of GR-N's in silver for awhile. I met a buddy who's brother has 3 GR-N's in white - we've been in a stale mate as to who will give in sooner. I won and he is selling me his set.

My setup will be 15x7" +25 up front, and 15x7" +35 in the rear. ARP Extended studs all around. 205/50/15's all around

I'm removing the APR Canards in favor of ones from Top One - and am thinking about the Top One diffuser.

Picked up a nice slab of carbon weave that I will be mating to some sheet metal to make a sunroof block off - once that is done I can finally finishing painting my interior. Also working on removing the rear trunk shelf, where the speakers are housed. Would have to weld in a brace.

I just replaced both axles, and the intermediate shaft seal. Exciting I know.

The main update is that I am building another turbo kit. It will be a junkyard build for sure - T3 turbo, looking for 250 @ the wheels. I have all the pieces I need, save for a P28 and some sort of tuning piggyback. I am NOT dropping $500 on a S300 unit - this build has cost me less than $400 so far - for everything.

I'll get some pictures once I have something to take a picture of haha. I don't have a build thread anywhere, so I decided theJDM will be the place.

cheers
