The car is 10x sicker in person than pictures. The turbo can eat a baby, the fab work on the tub is excellent, and the downpipe is MASSIVE! I had no clue it was a 5" until I got there. It has more of a diameter than my neck!


A few pics of it.

Engine is always the second last thing you do to your car, body being last (unless it's real bad).

Otherwise you get mustang-itus to much power overloading your chassis. You get faster quicker by hitting the suspension and drive-tran.

This is exactly how I am doing my car. It has its ups and downs though. The car will be ready for the motor when it goes in, but damn, I want more power now!

Weird... I can't see the For Sale ad, keep getting an error. In any case, Why are you trying to sell the car? Its just as easy to limit power as it is to make it, if its too much for you right now, then retard the power until you get more comfortable.
