Looks like it is coming around nice. I am confused...is the car in Ukraine or NJ?
Or both? The biggest improvement is the Rims. The car looks nice...very tastefully done.

apkraven · 06-15-2010, 08:35 AM

my freight forwarder is in nj, me and my car are in ukraine

thanks, today i'm going to start the install of the seibon m3-style cf hood, the oil cooler retrofit,cp-e oil+intercooler combo, the raceland downpipe and bms dp fix v3. hope it all will be good to go. it's almost the last things i'm going to do.

Seibon M3-style powerdome hood

intercooler+oil cooler CP-E

Bagelfast · 06-18-2010, 11:03 AM

That CP-E intercooler is pure win!!!

How is that EBAY charge pipe, do you trust that to not boost leak??

apkraven · 06-18-2010, 04:18 PM

hey , the charge pipe's okay, it can't leak through the aluminium right? the map sensor plug is done bad. the bolt holes can leak. i was more frightened about weak fitment on the TB, but after couple weeks of rather spirited driving, it didn't blow off yet. if i had time, i'd add some bracket for it to hold on the stock point, pretty sure it would secure everything to be safe.
i'll post some good pics tomorrow, i'm pretty sure you will like the outcome.

there was no good time in ukraine, that i can remember

and i don't see one in a close future

anyway, i live in donetsk and i'm a native ukrainian. but having business with so many us suppliers and having so much american fellows, i do feel less ukrainian than u.s. dweller

onefastman · 06-20-2010, 06:49 PM

Times are tough, I was there when the orange revolution was happening and I watched it unfold from my apt.

I hear you on the no good times. My dad lives on Ukrainian radio and he is ready to be the next president.

Everyday dad comes down for supper and just lays into the political arena of Ukraine. One day my friend, it should all work out. it is a beautiful country!
