As you all know i picked up this 95 chaste white from a cmzc member and i've never really made a build thread for any car i've owned. I would usually just go about and buy everything then post it up.

but... i want to really take the process slow and have it more like a diary. My goals are to have a nice subtle "stock" look. I really do enjoy the car stock but i feel like the 90s japanese super cars (although timeless designs) need an upgrade on some parts to make them look amazing. I know everyone keeps saying just keep it stock don't change a thing but i want to have nice BPU mods that'll make the car a bit more lively/safer/sexier.

so here it goes.

day 1: in all its stock glory!


changed out the turn signals for a clear/darker


swapped out my stock suspension for tein ha coilovers (forgot to take a pic will take it later when colorado stops being gay with rain) also added the 99 spec lip on there it doesn't fit flush but it still looks good and i said eh whatever it's free

Nice list of improvements. It's a good car to make those subtle changes to.

Nice clean FD!

Good luck with the build.

Blitz SMIC
got the smic for 1/5th the price because condition was kinda rough and some bent fins but i took some tweezers and made them a straight. Also i decided i wanted to have my smic look sorta like stock and discreet so i decided to high-temp spray it with ceramic semi gloss black.

how it came:



cleaned it up with steel wool and sprayed it:

Oh you sprayed the fins too? I would have taped those off...they weren't black from the factory HAHA!

all black ftw!

DEI titanium heat wrap
came in and wrapped my catback/downpipe. Ordered rx7store resonated midpipe and another 50' feet wrap for that as well

Looking good, I agree with keeping the car as stock as possible just because that's a very rare color.

And you say you don't have money to burn...pssh!! LOL

That titanium wrap is nice. Same stuff I'm going to use.

You'll like the RX7Store resonated midpipe. Keeps the drone out. Only issue I had was fitment, it's a little tight.

Looks awesome. I love the simple clean mods so far!

I didn't have any fitment issues with my midpipe from RX7store, went in just fine for me. DEFINITELY quieter than the resonator I used before and over half as quiet than none at all haha.

Oh I agree the RX7Store resonator is a great option. I just had some fitment issues as far as getting it to seal properly and not leak. Maybe it was because my Pettit DP and Blitz catback, but I had a straight pipe before and the fitment was perfect. With the resonated midpipe I had to reposition the pipe and add extra gaskets to get a leak-free install.

eric when are you planning on the tune??

We're planning for Saturday at 9, at Speed Raceway.
