⚙️ What This Group Is

A space to document your build journey from rust to reveal, from your first wrench turn to your first fire-up.

A place for motivation, progress, and problem-solving. We’re here to build each other up, not tear each other down.

A community garage share advice, tips, and feedback that help others level up their craft.

A zone for transparency and learning. Show the messy middle, not just the highlight reel.

A way to track your evolution post your updates, reflect on your work, and keep your passion alive.

Don’t mind the awkward idle looping, as he really needs a retune. But the base map is working nicely so I can make sure everything goes well for dyno day. Even charged my A/C at work today, even though it’ll be ripped out the car after boxerfest 🤣🤣. I feel whole again now that he’s back with me running.

Slowly making progress with the truck. All the fab work is almost done I think before I can lay some paint down. Then onto the wiring that I've been putting off lol

I’ll post a video soon, but my car finally started back up, but I realized I literally had NO gas in the tank 🤣🤣 and that I have a small but consistent leak on my dampers on the fuel rails. So gotta pull the rails off just to fix that 🙃

But god damn I squealed like a little school girl the moment I turned him over and he roared through the shop

Don’t mind me lookin awful, my boyfriend just wanted a quick shot of me doing my AN fittings on my new lines. And I appreciate him for rebuilding my fuel pump for me so I can focus on the bay.

Tuner sent my base map to me last night, I was hoping to have the car started but I ran into an issue with my FPR set up and need an extra fitting to finish my lines. But I’m so close I can literally smell it…. Or is that just me high off the gasoline fumes? Lol

I will say, I’m extremely lucky to work for a dealership who values me enough to allow me space to work on my car for as long as I want. I was here working from 9am to 7pm and I stayed after til 1AM knocking this out. Now I’m back here working again.…

Definitely am going to have to fab this carbon splitter to fit the Altezza any left over carbon will be turned into some more areo

Finished up the exhaust last night, 2.5" dual all the way back to a magnaflow X muffler. Can't wait to hear how rowdy this is once I get the truck running again.

Enjoy this snow day photo 🤣

So after pulling my motor months ago and watching my fuel injector just fall apart completely, and waiting on the IRS to give me my tax refunds, WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS NOW!!!

Finally going to tear the heads off and reseal the motor completely. Checking my pistons before I seal him back up for the new fuel system. Hopefully by Friday I’ll have all the rest of my parts ordered. The goal is he’s back on the road by the end of the month. Then gonna start repairing my widebody (I hate fiberglass), mount it and wrap him for the time being. I’ve also been redoing my engine harness at home, so that it’s a lot cleaner looking

Goal power is roughly 420-450. My Tuner is super confident I’ll make that safely on stock internals. Then start saving for the IAG 750 Long Block…

Got the rear suspension dialed in, moving freely with out binding. Only thing left is to mount the sway bar, then clean up for paint.

Me and my son along with my dad are working on a 2008 Mitsubishi gts 5spd we have done a few basic tune up to it have a new bumper and lights coming to install going for a aggressive stock look any ideals is much appreciated

Tilt front clip just about done. Just a few things to clean up, but it's another thing checked off my bucket list to have on a vehicle.

The ages long argument/debate. Does it truly matter if you buy a pre-built car? Are you a firm believer on building your own car? Does it not matter, and all that matters is that you enjoy it? What are your opinions, and why do you think that it is such a controversial topic?

Going a different route for my badges again lol but doing the old school Hondas ‘H’ and then just on the back will be the ‘Honda’ name. 💙🤙🏼

Just left my baby at the shop (I work there) so I can start pulling motor for upgrades, reseal and maintenance like timing, rings, gaskets, etc.

friend of mine is gonna tow the body to his house so we can wrap it and install all the new exterior too while motor is out. Then gut the inside and upgrade interior too.

Hate seeing him not in his spot at home. But can’t wait for spring when I start him up again and get a new tune. 🖤 I’ll make sure to post progress photos. But I may be a ghost for a bit with late night build sessions lol.
