it' was pretty much a car to get in and do anything really.
as far as the cost into it. there is way to much money into it that i don't even want to say.but besides exterior stuff, anything that could be done to the car has been changed, any and every suspension peice,every bushing, has been replaced, so it all ads up. the money into the swap it's self i would bet is about 6K? just to get it running.

Thanks,
Reliability as far as the motor goes has been great, we only have about 600-700 miles on the car since completion, and it has ran great so far. we got a weak trans so we are going to be putting in a new one (they cost about $100 around here) and the us turbo's we put on the car smoke on decel, so that will need to be fixed (which was planned anyway) So it seems to be ok. The motor is mostly stock really (intake,exhaust,downpipe,bov,boost controller,afc neo)
the driveability of the car is pretty damn good. The car hooks pretty hard on the 225 drag radial's except for last weekend when it was about 27 degrees out, and the car spun the tires getting into it at 50+ mph.You can feel a little more weight in the front of the car slowing down from higher speeds so it will need some braking attention before going to Road America this spring.

A lil to much pink for me but nice car otherwise.
eh, it's nothing ALL that special...i mean it's very subtle compaired to broadfields car and many others out there. the pink that is on the car is pretty much all that is going on it, besides well going single turbo the car will be getting pink intercooler couplers.

Its sagging and it needs a lip and the lights are a weird color that make them look like they aren't in there, i think i like the amber ones better, but they wouldn't have matched your smoked out look i know. But the engine looks really clean! I like the pink too cause its your girls car isn't it? Otherwise a tad too much but to each their own. I like the custom interior too but the shift boot for the automatic made me LOL. Did you put your glovebox back in or do you just not use yours? Looking good though i'm jealous. Keep up the good work!
HaHaHa, yeah your not the only one that thinks that. the car was in a accident to the front right of the car, making the car not want to line up very well. This problem will be getting fixed over winter (new coresupport) and throwing the car on a straightening machine to fix any other problems with the car not lining up. I too am kind of torn with the front lights, we were going for a "smoked" look with the car, and i'm just not real sure if i like the way those bumper lights look either, but they will be going away with a possible sil front in the future. as far as the interior i think it turned out pretty well, we did that spray paint carpet stuff and it turned out ok, The center 5spd console came out of our parts car so she re did it with a differant fabric cause a stock auto shifter looks so gay now it doesn't look as bad. The glovebox is now in the car i took that pic a few weeks ago, the glove box now houses the boost controller. Thanks again.

HEAT
Yeah, you know liz and you want it
Yeah, that will be done as well. hence the single turbo kit, it gives room to run heater hoses.
