hey guys i was wondering if anyone here runs the L coupe? thats what i have its got the EJ22 motor. im having trouble finding it. gerneraly i like to make things myself. but i realy dont want to bother with modifing the headers to install a turbo. so i was wondering if you guys had any sugestions on where to get parts.

id like to get some ground effects but im having a hard time finding much of anything for this car.

what i plan to do with this car is.

im gona turbocharge it, new exaust, port and polish, reprogram the ecu(gona have that done) and convert to a manual tranny

im going to be redoing the interior in carmine red(new carpet and headliner) the dash and doors im going to be painting myself with a satin red oil based paint, the seats are going to be replaced with corbeau VX2000 seats with the red trim. of course im going to put in a killer stereo system.

the current paint is the metalic flake green color, im going to have it repainted im debating on wether i should keep the color or go with midnight blue

so any help you can provide would be greatly apreciated. also advice in my car is apreciated.

Most external engine parts for a 2.5RS should fit.

ive noticed that somewhat. by external i belive you meant like intake/exaust right. lights i belive should be the same too. but the 2.5RS is that a 2door or a 4? if its a 2 then im all over the ground effects search again.

u can easily find exhausts, suspension, body kits, etc. for your coupe
be specific on your needs.. and i'm sure we can help.

ok well im looking for a new exaust(complete system) just one of the better ones im not to picky just something better than stock.

a website that sells a turbo kit for my car would be super apreciated. even just the manafold with the turbo flange would be awesome id prefer to pick my own turbo.

and if theres a site that sells the manual conversion kit that would make my month.

i forgot a need a better alternator too. the stock 85 amp alternator is just not enough for a good powerfull stereo system.
