...Or how I learned to accept credit card bills for a greater good.

So I had a fun day yesterday with UPS - got to pick up a good deal of stuff, all of which pertains to my car. Let's just say that I'm going to be pretty busy the next couple of weeks...





Putting that cargo space to work!


As always, my faithful companion Diesel is here to help.


The first box.


Box #1 opened up, what have we here?


That eManage Ultimate there is to tune my seat rail. Obviously. It won't be used for anything else... or will it?


Gotta love the Engrish warning labels.


Another look at the eManage box.


Next up is the first prototype for the NST (NonStopTuning) Pulley.


Even as a rough prototype, this pulley has got some serious quality- it's machined from a solid billet of aluminum and maintains all of the factory dimensions while offering a 65% weight reduction. It doesn't underdrive the alternator, so it is perfect for those of us who want to get some more response from the car but don't want to have a weakened electrical system. Mike, the president of NST, flew out to deliver the pulley to me as well as work on installing it- we should be seeing the finished product very soon! Check out NST - NonStopTuning for more info!


The fun part of the eManage install. Thankfully Ben of A&J Racing was nice enough to label the wires that I need to splice to tune my tur... I mean seat rail...


If you order from A&J Racing, you'll learn something very quickly- Ben has a penchant for wrapping everything very thoroughly. Very thoroughly, indeed. I want to get a roll of this A&J tape! It's so trick haha!


A big box of packing that held...


These guys, new front sway bar endlinks!


Oh, and the Type One Racing B Max Coilover Suspension Kit! This is the nicest suspension kit I've ever come across in my years of working on cars, I'm just happy that I can finally get nice things for my car! I can't wait to get these installed and give them a proper shakedown. Nice stuff here, full Aluminum body, 46mm piston, monotube design, 30 way damping adjustment, fully adjustable ride height, the list goes on and on...



Here's another shot, you have to see these pieces in person, the quality is truly something else! If you're looking for coilovers, judging by the quality I've seen here, I wouldn't choose any other kit! Type One Racing wins.



Hmmm... Mysterious big box.
We'll leave this one for later.
























That's the final teaser for now...

 

ooooh lets see those volks!!! at least i think the mystery box are volks. damn man, im jealous on that pulley.

 

big baller over here....nice goodies!! post pics when you get them installed!

 

Teaser ! Turbo kit in the last box ?

 

Volks, son I'm rocking the RPF1s!
And if you want the pulley, you're going to have to wait a little bit - we did a test fit tonight and all looks good, we should have some finished pulleys soon, along with a lot of other goodies!




Ok, so I couldn't hold out on the tease much longer -



So first up we see some shiny pipes, aluminum and steel pipes... and some boxes.


I dug around a little and found this -


Diesel is wondering to himself "Does he plan on boosting his Fit or something?"


A nice bar and plate intercooler! An intercooler for what you ask?


Well, the GT20 that I'm going to custom fit onto this guy! This is a pretty solid little manifold. It's just so... cute compared to the manifolds for the GT47, GT70 and the like that I work with at Honeywell. I imagine I'll have an easier time maneuvering these small turbo parts than with the ginormous turbo diesel parts.



Here's a nice profile shot of the manifold. A&J definitely put a nice kit together here. I can't wait to install it, but I have to get my turbo first!


Here's the aftermath of the turbo kit unpacking- lots of Auto classifieds!


So there's my first official unpacking thread - what did you guys think?

 

thats whole lot $ there, all parts are very purposeful, I especially love those seats and the coilovers.

 

damn.. chrismast come early or what?

 

you'll be set for a while now. alot of nice goodies

 

Holy S***!!!!!!! Thats alot of great parts. Its almost to hard to decide what to do first. haha. Good luck with choosing and of course take lots of pics for us less fortunite

 

u got first gen b-max coilovers ??
haha, have fun making them fit...
at least mine toke a long time..

 

wow we've got a big money spender here!

 

I think I wet myself. Doesn't matter, I'm about to go shower anyway.

*splooge* ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

one word WOW. that is a very impressive load of parts. did you get the stage one or 2 turbo setup?

 

dam talk about going all out!!! those are some good ass presents

 

keep me updated on the pulley. i deff. want one.

 

Congrats on the sick parts!

 

dam son! thats a grip of money. thats what like 7-8 k at least worth of parts.


jesus.

but your car is going to LOOk ill!

 

Well, this is actually going to be my own little "AC-Spec" special- I'm using the Honeywell connection (i.e. working there) to get a GT2056 on the cheap. This will provide a good deal of power, with a minimal amount of lag. Bigger isn't always better and I'm out to prove it!

Oh don't worry - you'll be hearing a lot about NST very soon. I guarantee it!


Oh and the ballin .gif definitely gave me the lol.

 

This is why I’m hot
I dont gotta rap
I can sell a mill sell you nothing on the track
I represent AJR
I got it on my back

this iss how ben gets his money so easily..i swear i will open my own import car store...cash flows crazy
