    Getting the car ready for some winter work in the next few weeks. Going to be doing all new ARP wheel studs, HV3 high Velocity intake, tinting my fog lights, doing some minor painting on some parts, new custom flack black front arrow head, changing some of the fluids, and some stuff here and there while it's up. Here are some pics from the summer to what it looks like in the air.




    T4/T67 turbo, PRJ tune, 9.5:1 forged pistons & race block, Oversize air/air IC, 3 inch exh, Electric W/P, 1.6 RR, 3.29 gears, 3750 stall, Intense STAGE 4 TURBO CAM AND HEADS, 65# Inj, GEN 3 LSD, 255 f/p, 103's, white w/ blue pearl, Ghost flames, B&G spg. + more.

    Did you do the tails by tinting and masking them or is that a tail light "cover"

    A lot of times you see turbo builds and the engine bay is very messy. You have done a fantastic job keeping it simple and clean. Nice work.

    Thank you everyone. Been married for a long time and since we have no kids, this is my kid. You are right when it comes to the tails. It was done in nightshade tint, then we used the left over paint and clear to finish it off. Thanks again everyone.

    I have cleaned it up a bit. For some reason I have no desire to polish it over the years. It's an 180amp alternator and at the end of summer I did go and spend a while cleaning it up. Gave it a more bright looking gray. Thanks again everyone.
