So, my NEW CAR. *Pics*

Came across a deal I couldn't pass up. My best friend offered me his car at a too good to be true price and I jumped right on it.

It runs and drives so nice, so much better than my old tin can.

Steve Kan tuned, 501whp

T04R
3mm seals
Pinned
Ceramic Coated Rotors

Volks LE37K
Coilover Suspension
New Transmission

Bumps in the bins

Custom White/Blue Pear Paint Job

Ahhhh, too much to list; this thing has it all

IIRC ceramic coating helps in heat dissipation and wears out less. I think

Ask Gary where he got his 99 spec bumper.
Ask him he modified it or if it came plateless.

Thanks dawg.

He bought it like that, and he doesn't remember where he bought it. I asked Chris as well, he says he found it.

If it's urethane I'd be willing to bet it came from the old Rotary Extreme vendor. Same place I got mine.

Awesome car BTW. But with 501 rwhp get some bigger brakes wouldja.

Crispy

Thanks...

It's actually fiberglass.

The 501 was on C16, so I'm only running around on 15psi which is plenty for me on the street

Man i gotta say that is a great looking car, everything flows really well with the wheels and the 99 spec front bumper, the hood too. I like the placement of the Wolf 3D and the Greddy Profec boost controller as well. Sounds like you'll be having a blast for the next 6 months, and running through money on gas for it.

more than enough to make a man happy

Hows the response of the turbo? When do you reach full boost?
