Hey everybody,
This is my build thread for my 2014 GSR. Her name is Xena, and the goal is 400awhp. Below is my parts list, and below that are photos of my progress.

Exterior
"Down the Road" Goals
Update #6: 335awhp—DP, TP, Tune, Lip, Wheels, Kevlar
A lot has happened recently. I made 335awhp shootout numbers at DB Performance. Shane tuned.
Update #5: Stupidly Dark Tint
So I did 5% film on top of 50% film on all of the windows, and did 35% on the entire windshield. I think it turned out awesome.
Update #5: AEM X-Series Gauges & JCSPods Triple A-Pillar Pod
Just got back from MAP (one of the perks of being a Minnesota local), with my AEM X-Series gauges. Quality feels awesome, and they look great. I ordered my JCSPods pillar, so hopefully it should be here in a couple weeks. I'll post an update when it gets in, and I'll be sure to upload some more photos.
Update #4: Intake/BOV
Got my ETS Intake, and Turbosmart BOV. Just put them in, and I'm loving them. The butt dyno is happy, and they sound amazing. A little bit of playing around and I got the BOV perfectly adjusted. Next I'm going to get my AEM X-Series gauges and JCS triple a-pillar pod.
Update #3: ShepTrans Built Transfer Case (Stage 2)
Sheptrans came built my transfer case in just a week. It will hold 900hp, at their "Stage 2" tier. Super happy with the results, and the best customer service I've had with a company. No photos of the t-case unfortunately :nopity:
Update #2: #CarGuy Mods
Black emblem on front, Japanese license plate, and debadged the rear. Such car guy.
Update #1: Evo Stuff
Purchased the car. Exhaust and lowering springs already on it. Removing both of those.
