Default Round 2: 07 GPW

My first S an MY00 with AP2 motor was stripped by thieves in Sept 2012. Heres what the first looked like. I spent a lot of time and money on that build an tracked it.

MY'00 GPW | AP2 motor with AP1 trans
209whp/152wtq CT-E Icebox | Mugen AP2 Header | Berks 70mm HFC | Greddy Ti-C Single 70mm Exhaust
VIS Amuse GT1 Front Bumper (non-wide) | ASM 04 Rear Bumper | Advan RG-D 17x9+45




I just picked up a 2007 GPW 2 hours ago with about 78,160 miles. Named her Windi. Came with black and red interior. It was modified with Stance coilovers with 18" Rota Grids (18x8.5 and 18x9.5). He had a slight fender pull to fit them, not a great job though. Everything else is stock. He was into the "HELLAFLUSH" look. I'm more of a HELLA FUNCTIONAL kind of guy. Was keyed on the driver side and right side of the rear bumper has a scratch on it. This is going to get this dynoed and changed soon enough.

MY'07 GPW | AP2 DBW
212whp/145wtq | OEM AP2 Intake | OEM AP2 Header | OEM Cat | OEM AP2 Exhaust
OEM AP2 Front Bumper with OEM AP2 Lip | OEM AP2 Rear Bumper | Rota Grids 18x8.5+44 and 18x9.5+38

List of Mods already have:
-KWv3 Coilovers
-Advan RG-D 17x9 +45 (powder coated if I can find a pair)
-C-West N1 ver2 front bumper with canards and custom splitter from WASPComposite
-ASM Type-S 04 Rear bumper
-Mugen AP2 Header
-Spoolin Performance custom 3" exhaust

Picked up like this:

Sorry to hear about your old s2. That was one of my favorite I've seen. Very nice pick up and can't wait to see your next build. If its anything like your previous one, I'm sure it'll be a favorite too.
