not really feeling the 2-tone paint job but I like the turbo setup and the front. The moded airwalker front lip and the removal of the vents are very unique. put that baby on the dyno, curious to see what it makes with your homemade manifold.
thanks man i curious too and for the wheels the front ones rub too much so i just put my old ones for now i still have to finish painting my hard top silver cause it was black before, re-register the car and bring it to the dyno. the car made 336hp and 242tq with the ultimate racing kit and the 3mm headgasket 57 trim turbo now i have the lovefab mini-me, the custom manifold and the gt35r so i'm hopping for alot more ...
Hi...
I wanted to comment on the paint job but I didn't earlier..
Anyway Here it goes...
Is Quite Unique and that's the Strong point about it...
I didn't notice that you have closed the Vents before but that's great.I actually started a tread about this Asking if anybody has done this since I saw a video of the Beta S2000 tested at Nurburnring and I saw that it had panels over the Fake Vents and I Instantly liked it...So I started asking if anybody did it and apparently nobody did so I did it maybe 7 months ago and my car has all stock look except the Closed vents and I like it and its a NFR.
The Strong point in your Car that I like is that the rear Fenders are Wide and you don't have a Panel Over it its just Straight FAT Clean look..
I would Suggest one thing Dow...I hope you Are not Offended..Dump The Wheels you have,drop that light Racing Wheel Look and Put on a 19 Inch 5 spoke that has the spokes Ending on the outer Lip so they Fill the Wheel Holes Full and Get a Great look that you need with that Fat rear end..Dump any wheel that Actually doesn't state its Size and put Big looking wheels.and even if you want Racing ones maybe you can look at the Kosei K3 that are quite good and they are I think available in light Silver or Chameleon Gold(are on the edge of Racing and Big looking). Nothing Better than a Big Wheel and Some Fat Rubber on the end (275 or 285)that I thing what you want for that Turbo to have traction on...
Anyway how much did it cost you to do the paint job and did you put a Scratch-resistant Clearcoat on that thing? Or Something like PPG CeramiClear?
Later and good luck finishing the job.
thanks on the comment. those wheels looked really good when the car was silver now not really but my next investment it will be inlinepro's rear end and i'm gonna be running some really lwide tires in the rear.

After deciding to put my fuel rail under the knife i've gotten to this point... It will hopefully be running by the end of the week if i don't run into anymore problems.
And before anyone says it, I know i need to clean the engine bay, i'm just waiting till i'm done.
