Thread: A New Guy to B15U

Hello Everyone! I used to be on MSV back when it was active. Now that I'm back from deployment and on shore duty for the next few years, I figured it was time to start working on the old girl again. I bought my '03 Spec V back in 2007 and have slowly built her up. She isn't anything major right now, but I hope to take the next big leap (turbo, s/c, or swap) in the following year. So any advice to help me lean in one direction or the other would be greatly appreciated! I hope to get active on the site and start meeting some fellow V lovers.

Here are the mods I've done so far:
FI-R Shifter Bushings
Razo Shifter Knob
AEM SR Intake w/ K&N Filter
DC 4-2-1 Ceramic Sport Racing Header
Strup Stainless Perfomance Midpipe
Magnaflow Cat-back Exhaust
17'' Anella Matt Black w/ Red Rims
215/40/R17 Federal Super Steel 595

I'm pretty sure there are a few things I'm forgetting, but that's it for the most part. Things I would like to do in the near future: Loctite Butterfly screws, Front/Rear Sway Bar, BSC cut, New Headlights/Tail Lights('04-'06 kind), suspension, as well as some other mods 2J Racing and FI-R offer. I will also be stalking the classifieds for anything I can find lol.

Now for some pics:








Again, she's a DD and a work in progress. I hope to get better pics taken soon but the weather in CO has been shitty lately. Everyone's opinion, criticism, and advice is more than welcome. Thanks for taking a look and I'll see you all around!

welcome!

Welcome!

And you don't want black and red wheels on a blue car! You should rip those off of there ASAP and sell em to me!!!

Welcome to the forum. Clean car. Looks good.

Welcome.

I actually just bought these in SoCal before moving here. So I have to put at least 1000 miles on them before considering this

lol! Wheels are somewhere in the middle of my list of stuff to do...right after suspension. Performance is more important than looks, although lighter rims would be nice!

The car looks good though!

welcome, im actually from aurora, colorado, right at tower and hampden, but im in the airforce now stationed in dc. i miss colorado so much, east coast blows.... everybody

Ya suspension is high on my list, although I'm not sure how low I want to go. Thanks for the praise tho!

haha wow i actually just moved into a place off of sterling hills and tower. oh ya i love it here so far (its only been a month lol) getting used to the elevation is going to take some work, and related to that: what grade of gas should i put in the V?

Here is an older pic of under the hood (needs a little TLC lol)



I'd hate to put this out there, but if there are any electrical guru's that can take a look at a problem I'm having, I will love you long time

'03 Spec V w/ an electrical problem, please HELP!

i have heard of both those and are on my list. as well as tein s tech lowing springs. i'm just going to keep trolling the classifieds and see whats out there.

Welcome back in one piece.

How low? You better be scraping pebbles when you are done...lol....

Welcome, and welcome home man. About your suspension plans, Not many people know much about these coilovers yet or at least suggest them yet cause they just started to come on to the market. Theyre called tdmi Coilovers I have a set on now and while theyre my first set iv owned, they feel and perform like i expect them to. B15azn is the guy thats having them produced, and hes soon gonna throw up a Group buy for these. Im not Trying to steer you towards these in anyway, just giving you another option. If these didnt come out, i myself would have gotten the bcs aswell, but Im a man that likes to help new companys, and showcase their new products. http://www.b15u.com/suspension-chass...check-out.html heres a link with all the info available on these. Again im in no way putting BCs down or any other company just trying to help get this brand out for my guy.
