Welcome to NICO and the VIP Forum!

Looks great. Burgundy and tan is sweet IMO. Also, its nice to see a local. Any plans as of yet? I know this sounds like our friends in the Q section, but any info on the maintenance? Mine is in the shop right now for valve cover gaskets (common job), plugs, and a trans filter/fluid change.

vip section or not, maintenance should always come first especially on a car this finicky. i've seen some nice projects come to a stand still because the owner spent money on mods before repairs.

sucks to have to spend money on stuff you don't really want to. i'm in the process of replacing my steering rack which cost me a good chunk of money i had planned for some new wheels.

Sweet. As long as everything is up to par, then I say go for it bro. My advice (as of recent, with input from others, thanks Mike ) get your suspension first. BTW, I know where there's an air suspension setup for the cheap cheap.

YOU CAN'T BEAT THIS PRICE!!!

It's all good bro. Your ride is definitely sick bro. The Y33 was my original choice. When I found out that the motor was smaller, possible sludge issues with it, and the fact that it's OBD II, I just turned my head on it. Then I looked to the G50. Anyways, great to meet you, and I hope to see you out at the Nashville meet. Here's the hotel info.

BTW, these were the cars that inspired me:
