Finally! Progress!

After weeks of not touching my s13 coupe, I've finally get the intercooler welded. It came out clean, really jdm. I'm welding on the bov next, but I'm still deciding on placement for smooth idle. Update are coming soon.
Let me know what you think.

valve covers a little bit dirty

The reason for the custom piping is the custom mounted fmic

older misc. pics.

Not my car but my body kit on the left. Imported from Taka Kaira from Japan. It's Monkey Magic baby! You don't wanna know how much these costs. It's even hella expensive in jp (since they're pretty rare), and I had to pay for shipping.

As for paint I'm going with an oil slick black. Damn, that's gunna be tough but It should come out hella nice!

Hey nice job so far... that FMIC is absolutely massive! Could i ask you a question though, since youve already swapped out the sr, dont you need an aftermarket harness to make it all meet up being that our ECU is on the right and theirs was on the left? I searched and got no good results.
