JDM GC8 STi V3
Hello all,
My name is Kane and within the past year gone from my previous USDM Civic EM2 to a V3 JDM GC8 STi and i love it!! http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...70485180_n.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...2/86841aeb.jpg Here is my pride and joy, been the owner since March last year and have cherished every moment up and down i have had with her. I purchased the car, fairly stock with 125000kms on the clock and with limited service history, but up until just recently i set about getting her into a good running condition with a few optional extras ;). Below is when i first obtained my first GC8, She had a toyosports manifold and up pipe, k&n filter, red HT leads, CDB + V3 heads + ACL race bearing set, Blitz divorced decat downpipe and 2.5" straight through exhaust with a vortex can, afterburner rear lights, A pillar gauge mount with Tim boost & Vacuum gauges, lamco single din mount and a apexi timer, Fake HKS dump valve and some ssw wheels. http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...34018202_n.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...39772696_n.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...81698823_n.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...85514913_n.jpg Then i decided id like it without the rear wing and wrapped the top face and bonnet. http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...75029557_n.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...49490659_n.jpg I then sat here down on some eibach spring and changed the profile of the rubber, Changed the air filter, fitted some green vac hose as the colour scheme is what i wanted. Swapped the crap afterburners for some OE wrx tails, until i can get a set of STi tails (still require these). http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...19486950_n.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...10426482_n.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...81599076_n.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...45881665_n.jpg All was going smoothly until early December when the fuel pump burnt out, so i replaced the whole assembly and fitted a walbro 255lph. Then 2 days after having her back on the road some T**t went into the rear of me. All being well only little damage was done and a nice payout from the insureance company and cheap repair cost left me spare cash burning a hole in my pocket. So i thought id start a small build. So here is the spec to date (some parts i am still waiting for and to install) EJ20 CDB + V3 heads + ACL race bearings Japspeed 3" downpipe back exhaust system Jperformance FMIC kit Mini Mud Flaps Apex'i power air filter Green Samco Hose kit Jperformance Catch Can pivot Voltage Stabilizer + Grounding kit Cusco 15 row oil cooler and oil filter relocation kit Mocal 10JIC remove oil thermostat New exhaust gaskets OE thermostat D1 Spec fuel pressure reg 20-100psi 20m ceramic heat wrap amber sides single din gauge pod boost, oil temp, oil pressure, EGT gauges Swoosh STVR turbo timer Few decals + sun strip Green silicon hose Cooler piping couplers Blitz oil cap Ported JMG TD05-20g turbo 550cc injectors with lateral performace phase 1.5 adaptors SWRD Braided Oil feed SWRD braided clutch feed 3 port boost solenoid OEM boot lid decal OEM boot lid and mid level spoiler NGK 7B plugs Castrol Edge 10w-60 5l RCM GT Spec Headers and up pipe RCM intake spacers Thermal heat spacers for header tank In progress of installing everything, hoping by mid march she will be set and off to Simon Roe for ESL Motorsport mapping. My aim is 370-400bhp. http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...28672960_n.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...16125912_n.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...96038194_n.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...28706996_n.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...15213492_n.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...96945503_n.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...47518518_n.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...60329276_n.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...70366378_n.jpg http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/...47586687_n.jpg Will keep updated with pictures and as it progresses. Future plans... Forged internals, CC stage 4, 6 puk clutch, ABW wide arches, Rear diffuser, tial 44mm external wastegate, STi Tails, Crystal headlights, new front bumper, new rear bumper.... the list is endless haha... Look forward to meeting you all in the near future. Cheers |
