Watch out man, the po lice are on to you. Looks like the impala in the background has a light bar. Oh and btw nice work. Looks badass.

Man, your neighbors must hate you... but doesn't sound like they called you in... mine do... ****ers. Don't even come by and say anything... I had my 200sx idling with a racing idle... trying to find a vacuum leak... and the neighbor called in a noise complaint... didn't even say anything to me. Jerks. Looks nice man!

Oh, and what FMIC is that anyway?

It really wasn't that late... we were done with most of it by 9pm, but the welding mask (auto-dimming) was acting up with the darkness and light, so Timmy couldn't weld very well:( We'll have to do it during the day next time!

The intercooler is one off ebay, got it for $250... its got 2.5 inch inlets, and is just over 3 inches thick:) not sure on the rest of the dimensions, but you can see it fills the opening in the bumper. It also goes up behind the bumper support some to give you a rough idea of the height.

Was just curious if it was a Hybrid or not... kinda looked like it might have been... I was looking at one of those "Monster" Hybrid intercoolers... was ~$420 shipped for the core... 820x300x76mm 3" in/outlets... perfect for my turbo setup... just hope it fits the car if I decide to buy it...

Hey Sean, is that a Xenon front lip? I really like it, but the Xenon one is $265 :eek:

Yeah, essentially. Its the Nissan Motorsports lip from their catalog, but its made by xenon.... I was discontinued through Nissan Motorsports, but you can probably still find it some places. From what I hear its pretty rare:) I got it from work (it was listed as out of stock, but we tried ordering one, and it showed up!) I think I paid $160 for it...

Not really. You can see it in my sig kinda. It pretty much fills the whole space of the bumper up. I had to trim the core support to get it to fit.

Sean,

I passed through Sonic on Univ. tonight at around 10.30pm, the only car there was a cop car. Was I early or late? Or did you all go somewhere else because of him?

I was hoping to see your car tonight there, but no such luck.

AHH! we got kicked out of Sonics... you have to come to the corner of University and Alafaya in front of UCF. Where those movie theatres used to be!

What are you doing this weekend? I would love to swing by your shop and see if you can help adjust some stuff with me:) My belts are squeeling pretty bad when I start the car:( I have your cell, or you can call me: 407-252-4712

Sean, I'll be busy this weekend, but I might be able to help you early next week. Actually adjusting belts is probably only going to be a few mins, so what I will do is call you when I get home on Sat or Sun, depending on what time it is. Have to work this weekend.
