The turbo is from Lor and Seng's spyder way back in 05/06 when they first bought the car. Some kind of Schwitzer/Borg Warner S200 with the mitsu housing. 50 trim I guess you can say. I'm kind of looking at a new turbo also. Top mount is wanting to be installed in the engine bay. But I'm definitely gonna rock this 50 trim with the FP manifold this summer.

My next purchase will probably be the front knuckle kit. Around $200 for both front knuckle, lateral arm, and control arm with new ball joints. OEM of course. Front bumper bracket, tail light gasket, and a few other OEM parts will be ordered too. Probably replace the front wheel bearing/hub along with ARP extended wheel studs. The car has pretty much become a restoration car. I've got a lot of new OEM parts and will continue to get more.

Been too broke to fix the spyder. MR2 and the DD needed some maintenance. Bought some small stuff and test fit.

Now I need someone to help me remove that broken bolt, weld downpipe, intercooler piping. I can tow it to somebody who can help remove the bolt and weld the parts I need.

Car looks good for sure. Are you keeping the rear widebody?

Re: Spyder in the making
 
Thanks. I have no choice right now but to keep the widebody. No $$$ to remove it right now.

are those slicks? Not a fan of the body kit but still looks to be coming along well. Congrats!

Re: Spyder in the making
 
Yes those are slicks. Came with the wheels. Body work cost too much money. I'm too concentrated on buying OEM parts.

Honestly, even WITH the body kit the car looks bad ass. I'm not going to lie. I loves those EDM 'tails too!

Another thing; I want your front bumper! lol

Re: Spyder in the making
 
I think a decent sideskirt would make it not look bad at all. Then again, I'm a sucker for widebodies.

Absolutely LOVE how the engine bay looks! So clean!

Damn that is clean. Get it on the dyno and get it to the cookout!

I'm actually really diggin the whole body kit except for the front bumper, something about it just doesn't seem right. I think less front lip and moar low might help a bit too. Car looks good though man!

I have always wanted purpled HKS cam gears. Thats pretty fucking awesome.

Now if only you woulda scrapped the body kit.

Good job overall, I think you have done a lot of good quality mods and really made the car nicer. I remember that car back in it's heyday.

Man this is an awesome build.

Re: Spyder in the making
 
Not much update. I guess it was time for a catch can setup. Just bought a wrinkle black Frontline Fab catch can last week. Should be here tomorrow. Still need to buy the fittings and lines. Looked up the prices and it's going to cost over $150 for the fittings and lines alone. Also bought a powdercoated red valve cover with 1/2 NPT threads, new front hubs, and thermostat housing+water pipe with -16AN. When the time is right I will switch to an aluminum radiator with -16AN. Looks like I'll be ordering my next batch of OEM parts tonight or tomorrow.

Same as this one but powdercoated wrinkle black.
