Wow, so its been a while since I last posted.

I figured with all of the threads about verts w/ silvia front ends popping up, I better jump on the bandwagon.

I swear that convertible in modified mag is my cars twin...down to the intercooler sprayer! Anyway, on to the pics.....











Now before I post the rest of the pics, I am going to be experimenting with nitrous oxide to see just how benificial it can be.

The intercooler sprayer should significantly reduce temps.

The purge kit is just bling factor, can't have nos and not shoot a 2ft blue cloud out from under my hood...JDM TYTE YO

The Zex air filter is what I want to play around with the most, in hopes of reducing/eliminating turbo lag.

Now that I explained everything I hope I don't get flamed for the 10lb Nos tank

The intercooler sprayer

Purge kit

Close up

Air filter...not much info on this, so I guess I'll be the guinnie pig

This should last a while

I like how the tank sits in the car right now

Who needs a cigarette lighter anyway...

Still needs to be fiberglassed in and repainted

There's only about 4" of visible braided steel line inside the car

All in all, this is the clean look I was going for.

Let me know what you guys think

since you want to know "what we think" i'm putting my 2 cents in.

i like the color not to many blue verts out there and the paint came out really nice and clean.

when you said "clean look" you just ment the exterior of the car right?

the inside of the car looks like its falling apart. clean it up !!

i'm not a big fan of boom boom but the speakers and NOS tank should be mounted in the trunk. if you want to open you NOS it you should be with a remote bottle opener in the trunk IMO.

WTF is this and why the hell would you cut a hole in your car?

Wow... your car is epic! Nice work!

I love it

How do you like that Rb20 motor? How's it respond to spray?

looking good, but I suggest some better fitting wheels to fit in those wide body panels...

Madcowvert: That is exactly the type of reply I was looking forward to. Not flaming, just sugestions.

Yea, I need to clean the interior up A LOT. Thats next on the list.

The sub/nitrous tank are in the back because I have a computer in my trunk and plan on relocating the battery/adding a fuel cell in the near future.

Not sure which hole I cut in my car that you are referring to? Are you talking about the purge kit? Care to elaborate...

Eikon: Havn't tested the spray yet...Kind of scared to right now. I'm still waiting on an adaptor for my FPR to hopefully fix my bogging. I want the motor to be running perfect before I even think about useing the nitrous oxide. When I do, I'll be sure to let everyone know the results.

Koukicody: Untill I can get money for decent rims, I ordered a set of 5mm spacers for the front and 25mm for the back. That should help out with the stance.

Also may be ordering a set of coilovers today...we'll see.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Positive or not, I really appriciate it.

I'll be getting lots more pics up within the next few weeks as I have an average of 4 - 6 packages waiting at my doorstep everyday I get home from work now.

Ahh...yep, if I just wanted a functional purge to clear the lines, I wouldn/t have had to do any cutting.

The kit I went with has a high intensity LED that lights up the purge at night. Thats why I had to do the cutting for the LED to show. Like I said...JDM TYTE YO!

I'll get a better pic of it though because you really cant see it unless you are looking for it.
