Installed Fortune Auto 500 coilovers with Swift spring upgrade (8k front, 7k rear) along with my old Jagy bearing UCA's and a used Addco RSB with all new hardware. Got the coils adjusted to a 2-finger fender gap and now just need to take it in for alignment first thing tomorrow morning so I can start driving it again!

Not many left on the old forums. Most migrated over to the Forum FB pages. Much more active there now. I just figured i would check in and update here as well, though it looks like my images aren't working again with the new picture hosting site that I was using.

About a month ago I pulled the P10 upper and lower oil pans off and removed the girdle so I could convert to P11 upper and lower oil pans. P11 lower pans are way cheaper than P10 lower oil pans that's why, to the tune of $18 vs. $150. Plus I am staying NA so don't NEED the girdle and could use the added WHP. Oh, and the lower oil pan had a major leak anyway so figured may as well replace and reseal both. Still kicking myself for not doing the timing cover while I was in there. Oh well.

Also, within the last 2 weeks, I pulled the old 32V trans and shift linkages off to upgrade to a cable-converted P11 70V and linkages with a modified/pivot-ball-moved-up OEM shifter. While I was in there I also installed a new rear main seal, a new Fidanza flywheel, a new ACT NX9-HDSS clutch kit, and a new OEM TOB with clips. Got 150 miles on the clutch so far, 350 more to go for the break-in period, then we can see how she feels throughout the rev range. Exciting stuff though!

Thank you much! I appreciate that! Not much left that I want/have to do at this point. Would've been really nice to get a B15 70V installed in this thing since I plan on keeping it NA but the one that I have is spoken for and will be going in my NX. Thus, the P11 70V went in here. I guess that leaves the possibility open for me to go small boost one day, though would have to keep the WHP down since I removed my girdle. I would think even a nice 225-250whp would be more than sufficient coming from an OEM T25 or T28 setup. Boost would come on quick and taper off at right about redline anyway. Maybe some S4 cams or something (which I am actually considering for now, as they would even help NA). Boom. Done. Perfect power level for a daily driver as far as I'm concerned.

After ordering the wrong oil pan ($20 one) I was in for a sticker shock when I saw the prices for the P10 lower oil pan. Everything was in the $300 dollar range and was relieved to find one @ $150. I didn't know it was possible to convert to the P11 oil pans, props to you for doing all that work.
Yeah, I came across this as well and was NOT looking to spend $150+ on a P10-specific lower oil pan. Thought to myself that since a P11 pan set clears the P11 crossmember (obviously), and both motors are technically lowports, I couldn't find a reason why the conversion WOULDN'T work! Install went really smooth as well. Oh, and if you wanted to keep your girdle in there for block strength purposes (i.e. boost), you could still do the conversion and just cut down the baffling in the upper oil pan to clear the girdle. As I stated though, I wasn't in NEED of the added strength since I'm staying NA, so I figured easy way to free up some WHP, save me some money, AND fix up some leaks all at the same time. Win, win, win!

A few updates since last post.

Installed an OEM popout cupholder in place of the stock pocket.





Installed a set of Sprint Hart CP-F wheels (15x6.5 +45, 15x7, +42) with Continental Extreme Contact Sport tires (205/50R15) and got the wheels all aligned so I can take the car in to get my State of Hawaii Recon inspection.

Thank you! I am really enjoying the package vs. my old SE 2.0's with cheapo rubber. Feels much more lively. Definitely a nicer driving experience.

And I can't imagine needing winter tires. Bleh. Hahaha!
