Ok here we go, but first I'd like to say... I didn't name my car.

Original thread pics.

This car was saved from the clutches of an abandoned v8 swap by a young kid and sat for a year in my garage due to title issues. I was able to get it worked out and put in a full TII engine/trans and a front mount to get it running. The jspec had a Knightsports turbo but with no fuel control I sold it and bought a good stock turbo. It had ebay coilover sleeves only on the front so I found AGXs and GF210s. With the car driving I picked up a Rtek 1.7 and then eventually a Rtek 2.0. I put in some RC750 injectors and ran about 10-11psi comfortably. Early this year jfaplanet and I put in RX-8 seats using both the stock and rx8 rails. It was in this state for a few months and made it to Deal's Gap and back (700 miles) performing great except for crazy documented body roll. (since been fixed with coilovers).

In May I decided to have some fun and undertook my first standalone. I went with the Haltech SprintRE and have had a great experience so far. I used Deutsch connectors for the CAS and coils, and took care in my routing. I was maxing out the stock primaries so I took the opportunity to buy a set of ID1000 from Full Function Engineering. They are great. Just this week I changed to AGXs with stiffer GC coils. The car is much stiffer now, but not rock hard drifter suspension stiff. It is very competent. I can't wait to take it to DGRR again next year.

Current Setup:
Haltech Sprint RE
4 x ID1000 new injectors
Racing Beat turbo full exhaust (single DP/presilencer)
FMIC
HKS SSQV
CAI into bumper
KYB AGX with GC coilovers 375/250lb springs
TII replica lip
Rx-8 seats
5spd Rx-8 knob

Future plans include a clutch, BNR, and some wheels/better tires.
