actually I do, I had my eyes set on a used set of Ohlins Sportlines. I even made a pre-payment on them so that they will be guaranteed to be mine but unfortnately the owner refunded the moeny and decided to sell the coilvers with the car. So yeah, if you see any used Ohlins coilovers let me know

Hey, I have almost identical setup to yours waiting to be installed.
SZ49, Perrin Big MAF, Gimmick turbo inlet, DW 740's, TGV deletes, prodrive boost solenoid, 3" catless, SMC meth kit, SSAC FMIC. What kind of numbers, hp and 1/4 do you make?

[nice-rice]

Looks like a really nice setup, similar to what Im heading towards myself. Best of luck with everything.

[blindfold]

Hey Bill, what kind of turbo inlet is that, is it cold air? Anyways my car puts down any where between 350-400hp depending on the tune/map, what about you?

thanks everyone for your comments

[BillFromTR]

Its kinda like the Perrin inlet you have, only a knockoff (read:cheap). My setup is not in yet, I'm waiting on my injectors and gaskets to be delivered. Your car looks great!

[pEd]

your car is crap and mine is faster.... j/k bro. Your car is badass.


Let me know when you wanna trade those pieces we talked about.

Hi Ped, what an honor, you actually posted in my thread

[05cgm]

Holy hell man. Your giving my car the tag "beast" after driving this thing daily! Amazing build up.

[blindfold]

Couple parts came in today, took some quick shots without photoshop









With these, I am now self-proclaimed JDM Baller #22

[05cgm]

Nice. Get that stuff installed.

[blindfold]

Took few quick shots, nothing has been installed yet
Trying to keep a record here before other changes are made,
cheers.
