Looking sweeeet.

DAMN, that is GINORMOUS! Cusco 3D GT wing = straight up baller though, so I approve!

05cgm · 10-01-2007, 05:13 PM

Yeah, it is pretty tall. I figure I will wait for my next track day to really judge it. It took me 7 months to piece this thing together since it has been discontinued so I figured I would give it a go. I can see a lot better out of the rear window though!

I am sure it'll benefit you at the track. I know the huge wing Ben had on the HSPN racecar was very functional (I think it was Cusco).

And the extra visibility is definitely an extra benefit.

Looks badass, nice work!

Just ordered a set of Deatschwerks 740cc. Talked to my tuner (Tim Bailey) and I am planning on going with an FP Green 8cm. Nothing too crazy so no need for their new 850cc inj.

And even better yet, the wife and I just found out this guy is coming soon:

Congrats, man! Life is good!

Well a buddy of mine snapped some shots at a local meet we have here. He is a much better photographer with a much better camera

. They are night shots but I think they came out pretty good. He also took a detailed shot of the trunk so people can get a better idea of what it looks like:

And the trunk pic:

I had a track day last weekend but was only able to get one session in due to a family emergency so no real impressions on the wing. And yes, I know it is friggin' huge but it is the real deal and it is growing on me so we will see

. I should have the photos from that run session this week so I will post those up when they arrive.

I also picked up some new parts for the upcoming turbo upgrade. Purchased a set of TGV deletes from one of my buddies (no core exchange FTW), the new GrimmSpeed up-pipe (coated of course) and will be ordering my triple thick phenolic spacers from them tomorrow also.

Wow. The car's looking pretty beastly. Can't wait to see more pics. What turbo are you going to go with?

05cgm · 10-28-2007, 09:08 PM

I have been eyeing the FP Green 2.4" 8cm the whole time through but this Element Tuning GT52 keeps calling me. I want to stay stock mount turbo on this one.

Good choice. I would def. get the GT52 with meth over the green. It seems like the ultimate turbo IMO.

05cgm · 10-28-2007, 09:15 PM

Just trying to justify the price difference. The GT52 goes for almost $1900!!!

TIMELESS · 10-28-2007, 09:36 PM

Once you think it can get any better you just take it to the next step...great car!

Chris05STi · 10-29-2007, 02:35 AM

Just to let you know, I know someone who has the GT52, and tried the TMIC.....no deal.....DR525 will work perfectly with the GT52.

Thanks for the info. I actually have a SSAC FMIC in the garage. I could not pass up the deal so we will see how that does.
