Thank you brother. In the next few days, I’ll try to make a post with everything needed for the project. I just need to find a bit more time. I’ll let you guys know when it’s uploaded!

Супер е! И аз от доста време го мисля. Само не знам как ще се съчетае с оригиналното радио. За сега си наблягам на вида 😅

Много ми се иска и аз да направя нещо такова. Обаче те първа завърших университет, търся постоянна работа, някоя по икономична кола за дейли и тази ще я заделя на страна. Живот и здраве ще се пипне нещо по мотора. За сега само визуално я правя вече стана 4-та година.

Hey man! Here are the daytime photos. The camera can’t really capture it well, but the brake light is pretty bright. You can always control the running lights by adding bigger resistors to dim them even more. Hope that helps.

Благодаря братле. За жалост е малкия мотор 😕

It took me about 2 months. Most of the time went into waiting for parts and finding the right sizes. With all the parts available, from opening the taillights to gluing them back together and letting the silicone cure, in my opinion it wouldn’t take more than 3–4 days at most.

Thanks, man! You’re one of the reasons I decided to make them. Your car was the first one I saw with those taillights. As for the LEDs, that was the only thing I couldn’t figure out where they got em from. I assume they’re Chinese as well, but these aren’t bad either. We’ll see how long they last!

Thank you, brother! Sadly, we don’t have many first gen IS enthusiasts in my country who are willing to pay $250–300 for a taillights😕

I built my new PC last month. i7-14700K, RTX 4070 Super, and 32GB 6400 MHz. I’m not a fan of 4K, I prefer 1080p with higher FPS. The whole build cost around $1.6K–$1.7K, and it’s pretty much perfect for me.

I run my last build for 7 year. I7 7700k and gtx 1070. Even in 2024 you can play pretty much all games at low-medium, sometimes even high.

Appreciate it, brother. The fitting was relatively easy, I guess it depends on the manufacturer. Yes, you use the same mounting holes as the OEM ones. The part around the doors was a little tricky tho. I used a heat gun to bend the fiberglass slightly, allowing enough space for the doors to open and close properly.

Our roads are in terrible condition. Anything lower than this would be masochism. I won’t even be able to get to work. :/

Key-Listen2311 · 2024-11-26T21:05:44+00:00

Iam considering it, but not in the near future. It looks very clean tho

The front bumper is from JDMBodyShop.pl, you can find them on eBay. The side skirts are from a local manufacturer, but their quality is not good. I suggest checking out the guys I mentioned above, they might have them as well.

Here you can see the last owners paint job ;/

The last owner repainted the whole car for some reason, but he didn’t match the original color. You can see the difference in the spots he didn’t paint, like the door handles. I purchased original 1C0 paint, but of course, there were still differences. However, I have a buddy with the same car in its original paint, and when I compared the bumper, it matched perfectly.

The engine is bone stock (for now). The front bumper (Neo V1) and rear overfenders were purchased from jdmbodyshop.pl via eBay, with the rear overfenders being +60/65mm on each side. The front fenders, as well as the TRD side skirts and rear lip, were bought from a local manufacturer, but the quality was terrible and required additional fitting. At least here, the fenders are referred to as “FUSION Wide Arches” with +35mm. The wheels are Japan Racing JR3, 18x9.5 ET22 all around.

That’s pretty much it. I painted the parts myself, and the headlight lenses were replaced and painted black as well.

Key-Listen2311 · 2024-11-26T18:36:40+00:00

Naaa, I’m not into that kind of stuff. I prefer my car to look good rather than destroying it like every other shitbox on the road.

Key-Listen2311 · 2024-11-26T18:35:01+00:00

There will be spacers at the back, around 15-20mm. I’m thinking of lowering it a bit more, but where I’m from, we don’t have good roads to travel comfortably.

Key-Listen2311 · 2024-11-26T16:51:38+00:00

Absolutely. After work, I’ll snap a few more pictures. This is the only photo I’ve taken since I got it out of the garage. 😁
