I'm glad I have you guys to share the pain with lol. GTM's had all three of ours for a good while. I can't wait to see the finished product after everything is said and done, and not just mine either! There are a couple things I wish I could do now, but I really don't want to spend more cash. The traction control system would be awesome. I'm hoping with the lower torque in general over turbo cars will help with that. Though I really do hate the stock VDC system. I would also love to add a few gauges... It's one thing I really need to do asap. Maybe by the end of the year. I still want Nismo dampers and Swift springs. A spoiler, maybe (not sure yet) a vented hood, EVO-R side blades, some new shoes, diff, and brake cooling. Maybe jazz up the sound system too. Gah!!! It's all so damn expensive! One at a time...

Lmao that's how it starts. You officially have the sickness. The longer they take to finish my car the more money I spend on the car. As you can also notice is happening on your build. After some time goes by I get bored and buy a new part. My car is almost 100% done. There isn't anything I can think of that I want. Waiting on work wheels, fujimura front bumper, amuse rear and mines spoiler to come from Japan and I'm done. Kind of disappointing I won't have countless hours researching and looking for new parts. I kind of wish I had taken My time and did one piece at a time so I could have enjoyed the build process. Once I get my car back its done :-/ I too am looking forward to seeing how all our cars turn out. Aparently perfection doesn't hurry as my car has been at GTM over 9mos now. At this time it's waiting for parts that's whats holding me up but the wait still sucks

We will see a lot of builds where this will be the case. Especially with that group buy as large as it is, some will be stretching to make their TT dreams come true. The ones who are smart or have the funds will def have or will have upgraded cooling systems. There will be a lot of information on FI builds though

I know there were a few guys looking at doing twin superchargers. I'm wondering if they are still going for it or if they went another route due to the delays of getting this kit out. It was supposed to be out last year and the first build is just now finishing up in the next few weeks.


I would love a Fujimura bumper lol. Sam was trying to talk me into it, or at least throwing it out there. He said he would be able to seperate the intercoolers and oil coolers for better airflow to the radiator. I have no doubt he's correct as I thought about it too, but I'll just run her as she is now. I'll do some data logging on the oil temps, IAT's, and water temps to see how they do when I get home. I really cannot throw more money into this without having a seriously pissed Wifey or getting my home upgrades complete. It costs so much more money to do things right! Or at least to have copious amounts of power in the desert ROFL. Who knows, maybe I'll strike a killer job when I get home and afford to get the engine built
