| I am still trying to find the time to do a full build thread on my cappo. I have had my car for 1.5 years now. I bought it stock and have spent close to $12k usd. mostly on apearance but i have done some bolt on mods for power. I have loads of pics and intend to post them up in order. For now here is a teaser. more to follow when I can find the time. |

Excellent! Look forward to reading this, great looking Cappo!
What intercooler is that? And what's the extra gauge on the dash for?
Cheers

| Cappo's first apperance at a car show. It was a favorate among the kids. most common phrase was "look dad, that car is my size!" I do hate it when people call my car "cute" but most of them are hot females and it starts a conversation, so i dont mind as much. ;p |

| I dont know if anyone has a better way of getting the turbo out but i ended up having to take the exhaust manifold off to get the turbo and down pipe out the top. |

| here is a comparison between the old(blue) suzuki sport 295cc injectors and the new(red) monster sport 295cc injectors. 12 small holes compared to 1 big hole for better atomization. |

i do have to note that the F100m turbo kit is a bit laggier than stock and wont actually make more power without a boost controller. I was really disappointed with the new turbo until I installed my boost controller.

With regards to the monster sports turbo, i believe it is because the actuator is set to 0.9 bar, but it is a screw type which you can adjust all the way to ~1.2 bar, which should be quite a bit more power
from what i read, you dont need a boost controller for the F100 kit?
someone correct me if i am wrong! |

The actuator is not adjustable on the turbo. A boost controller is required to boost more than .9 bar. I used a greddy profec B spec II and am boosting 1.2bar now.

| when i bought my boot lid i pretty much had the whole body kit planned out. but since the body kit was sooo expensive i had to buy it in stages. the second piece I bought which is my favorite part of the body kit is the Toyoshima Craft carbon hood. |

| even though the stock hood is aluminium and weighs almost nothing, this hood weighs less than half of what the stock one weighs. the air ducts help release the pressure under the hood to keep it from lifting at the sides when going faster than 150kph. |

| I decided not to go for the big break kit due to budget constraints and the fact that i would need bigger wheels. I kept the stock calipers and got slotted Dixcel rotors and Endless NS97 pads on all 4 corners. |

| I am really happy with this set up. for very spirited street driving they work very well. alot of initial bite and almost no fade in heavy breaking conditions. although now that i can stop very fast i am always worried that the guy behind me wont be able too. |

| about the same time my rear over fender came in, I did my reverse light mod. there are 2 small LEDs, one on each side of the license plate. I couldnt stand seeing the ugly stock reverse light anymore. plus it made room for my future exhaust project. On another note I test fitted my rear overfenders to see what modification was going to be needed. |

| With 50mm over fenders it was only natural to get 50mm wheel spacers specially ordered to fit the wheel hub perfectly. |

| the gap between the wheel and the fender was only 1.5cm. I knew I would either have to do some serious wheel rolling or cutting and welding. since rolling wouldnt really do the trick and im not a welder, I decided to have a local race fabrication/body shop do the work. which was the only mod on this car i didnt do myself. |
