ok, so i decided to not get the dezod kit ( i couldnt tell if the turbo was legit or not ) So i went with a "ZPI" setup. A big 16g with a 38mm tial wastgate, greddy emanage blue and some other goodies. I will start at 6psi untuned and upgrade as i go. ( I still need to get an intercooler i have piping) So thats why im starting at 6psi. I plan on finishing at 9psi and getting it tuned. Also, my TRD springs came in today, my stagg struts should be coming in soon as well. I will get pics as soon as i get home from work and keep everyone updated on the new project.

Looks good man! It's good to see another BCP getting boosted. Do you know where you want to end up as far as numbers go? Just out of curiousty what's making you go with the Greddy eManage over the AEM FIC?

bcp06tc

thanks, as far as numbers go, id be happy at about 270 which should be easily achievable with the setup i have. The only reason i went emanage is because i got a hell of a deal on it lol. money talks

Here's the TRD springs :-)

bcp06tc

thanks man, more pics of the turbo kit to come as i get it installed!

alentz627

Get the springs installed yet?

bcp06tc

not yet, waiting on the struts that go along with them. The struts should be in these week and as soon as i get a day when it isnt raining/snowing/-30 degrees ill get them in lol. I plan on posting pics of the install as well.

The stagg struts have arrived. I will be doing a full review post on these for other people looking to get them. I have only found/read good things about them so I decided to give em a try. They will be paired with the TRD springs shown. But my first impression of these struts is that they seem to be built very well, although I think they could/should have been packaged better. Here are pics

So today I installed my stagg struts and TRD lowering springs. Installation was straightforward and since I did it by myself instead of having someone stand on that rear rotor like they show in the tein basic coilovers install in the DIY section I used my cars scissor jack to push the rear suspension lower to get the rear shock out. Anyway, here's of a couple pics of it installed, I will update again with how the ride feels, because even though its almost April it's supposed to snow tomorrow.





If anyone has any questions about my setup feel free to ask.

Looks good man, looking forward to pictures of the car now

bcp06tc

Thanks man, ill be posting some as soon as all the snow goes away lol. I did take the car out this morning for a little while before the snow started and it feels like a completely different car. It feels glued to the road and the body roll is almost completely gone. I would recommend this setup to anyone. I got the struts from eBay, after doing a lot of research on them, and I bought my TRD springs from a guy on Craigslist brand new for 100$ someone bought them and never installed them. So just for the parts it was only 300 cuz the struts were only 200. After I bought a few required Tools ie spring compressor and breaker bar(things I will use again) it was around 400. Not bad for a whole new suspension and whole new feel :-)

After you get used to the new feel and have some spare cash saved up, and I think all of us who have already done so can agree, add some hotchkis front and rear sways. Def new feeling.

That's what I plan on doin lol, I gotta get some new rubber and service the brakes first. One of my rear calipers is seized, I noticed when it stared squeeking from one rear wheel and I checked em out when I was doing the shocks. But I definitely plan on gettin the sways lol

ok, so when i was working on my suspension i found that i needed to replace my brakes, more so in the rear than in the front. I have been doing alot of research about brakes because i knew it was about time to change them out anyway. I decided to upgrade my brakes, not a big brake kit but drilled and slotted rotors, good pads and stainless lines. I found a company called R1 Concepts. Their brakes are made in America. After researching them i have only found people who bought their products had good things to say. i decided to order some for the rears just for now to check out their quality for myself. I will post pics when the drilled and slotted rotors and pads arrive. I will be replacing my one seized caliper if i cant get it to un seize with rebuilt ones from my local autoparts store. For anyone interested in checking these brakes out for themselves here is the website: http://www.r1concepts.com/

surprisingly, that hood looks good! looks good with purple but it's only because i LOVE purple! but if i were you, i'd for sure slam it! if i was gonna spend that much money on parts. looks good though!

I'm digging the tires. Eagle GT's? Lol

bcp06tc

Yup :-)

bcp06tc

Got the new brakes on





The rotors seem to be very good quality. They are from r1concepts.com shipping was fast. I will post about the longevity of them. I ordered stop tech pads and they did send me the wrong ones but I called and complained and they gave me a refund so that's good. I would have exchanged them but I really needed to replace my brakes. I would recommend this site/company to anyone looking for street performance. Mine are the "Eline" series.

I got in my ingalls rear 4 point brace today. Install was pretty easy, I did it a little differently than the directions cuz I didn't feel like drilling through the bottom of the car. Here is a picture
