Wow Greg! It's a work of art!

Very very nice job. I love the silver - red - silver - red - silver - red, etc... The new sound system is pretty hot too... replace the sounds of radio with the sounds of turbo and exhaust!

I call shotgun for a quick spin in Atlanta at NOPI.

I don't even want to THINK about it....

Although, despite going "all-out", I have been pretty frugal. Buying parts through our sponsors, off ebay, using used parts, and making / fabricating a lot of stuff ourselves.

I guarantee you couldn't replicate it for $15K.

i just looked at it again and realized this about 5 mins ago...lol

its amazing how much of a different end result can be produced with the same money...i wont be spending all that much more than you think youve spent, or so, and the cars will have little in common besides being both s-chassis

Looks so good!

I'd just drive it around hoodless! That engine bay looks way too clean to be covered up by a hood!

well hes close though...if its an origin its the same thing as version select

or it could be the non-replica version, which i couldnt tell you because i dont know my jdm body kits too well...now that i look again though its not INGS, and i know its not GP sports...and i dont think its m-sports

and with that im done guessing

Wow..Touche'! Very impressive. I was wondering tho, what is that copper pipe running form of the valve cover? Looks like a housing of some sort, and why copper? Am I seeing right, looks like you have skirts on the passenger side but not on the driver side? One more dumb question, why paint the ic black? is there a mechanical reason for that?

Thanks K!

Copper pipe: just to be different, altho it is corroding fast, so it'll get painted. Just to hide the CAS wiring.

Pics were taken halfway through hanging the bodykit.

IC core painted for the hell of it. I like the contrast with the black core and polished tanks.

Yep - The Frams were for the first 2 oil changes, both done in the first 30 minutes of idling.

Nothing but Mobil 1 filters from here on out.

Piece of cake.

Buy 2 long pieces of high-pressure, high-temp hose and hook it up!

Took me 30 minutes, including hacking off half the mounting bracket and drilling the hole in the inner fender.

Absolutely the most fun I've had driving in a LONG time.

The roll-on throttle is phenomenal, and it's TOO fun pulling up next to some geek in a Vette / Porsche / M3 on the freeway, putting on my blinker as if to take the lane ahead of them, waiting for them to accelerate (they always do, because they're pompous a$$), rolling into the boost and taking their lane.

Damn - I hope I never grow up.
