I was sick of the location of my boost controller so I made this little thing to put it somewhere I feel more comfortable with.

First time contributor to this thread. This is my 95 I just got from Jimlab a couple months ago. 13k on the clock.

Wow, so Jim finally got rid of her. How is it currently set up? Planning to install a V8 or take her back to her rotary roots? Just curious. Beautiful paint and uber low miles. Congrats!

All Rotor, your SSR's coulda been rollin on this chassis...

It's got a brand new paint job from 02-04 Corvette Electron Blue. Really great color in person. It's going 6 liter v8 with a Precision 7675GTS.

I couldn't be more happy with the car. When I say the whole car is like new, I mean it still smells new on the inside. It's like a time capsule. I've got a build thread on norotors and I think I'll start one over here once things really get moving and post up the bigger milestones that everyone can appreciate.

Currently looking for some wheels that fill allow 285's and 245's inside stock fenders if ya'll know anybody selling any.

Id have to agree a near perfect fd with so low miles is extreamelly rare. Just the dollar value in time alone would be worth putting in the stock 13b or 20b.....though v 8 are fun id save it for the muscle cars. Gk either way though my friend

but crazyness... Jim finally let her go. I've been in the forums since 1999 (before the hack of 2001) and I don't ever remember Jim's car ever running. Congrats as gmonsen said: THAT is a great roller.
