Looks like the IMSA airdam?

I don't like the color... or the sunroof... and the interior would give me a headache if I had to drive around in that all the time... but someone's put some time & money into it.

:weed:

... you know, if I, too, were stoned like a true Roachman...

... and I'm not admitting, nor denying...

I'd pick that color, too.... Roachman Aqua Blue.

... ah shit, man, I dropped my clip...

frode 01-23-04 04:52 PM

Eww..

Rotofire 01-23-04 04:58 PM

You know the concpets are pretty good on that car....I even like the airbrushed sunroof. Its just not right though. The color is putred :puke:

1984special 01-23-04 04:58 PM

Haha. If only it were a different color huh? Otherwise it's pretty nice IMO

clean85owner 01-23-04 05:05 PM

I saw that car on AutoTrader some time in '02. The color is hideous, the interior is disgusting, and the sunroof is dumb, but somebody put time, money, and (hopefully) sweat into that car; so, I can respect it. I wouldn't own it, but I can respect it.

mazdaverx713b 01-23-04 05:31 PM

read my words. i do not like the color. can we say too fast too gay! other than the riceyness and the color, i think the car is sweet.

coldy13 01-23-04 06:37 PM

Nice turbo setup, I'm sure the car is fast. But, HOLY SHIT is that thing UGLY!!!!

twigg 01-23-04 06:54 PM

GOOD LORD!
engine wise NICE!

but thats the damn most ugly one ive seen in awhile..
looks like old moldy color.. definitly not attractive..

EDIT: (Stealing from Error) Housekeeping, want a mint for your pillow?

rxseven 01-23-04 07:37 PM

Hey the engine set-up and body kit is similar to my SE except mine looks sooo much better than that. Check it out: www.cardomain.com/id/rotarius

X4dLuvOfSpeedX 01-23-04 07:58 PM

People just don't get it. You DON'T change a car's color unless you strip it to the bare shell. Look under the hood. That car has paint on the shock tower's threads and plastic caps, wire looms, fuel lines, bolts, hood latch, etc etc. Thats a BIG no-no :nono: I don't care how pimp it looks, those sloppy details make it worth less than a stock FB with decent original paint. It's a shame too, because that car actually looks very nice with that kit and those wheels.

Another thing, TII engine with stock FB radiator, an electric fan and a big FMIC is an overheating disaster waiting to happen.

wow... great moderatin'!!!


yeah... its kinda..... bright! but a nice car....

Steve Shulz 01-23-04 07:59 PM

Nasty aint it!? Turbo looks old as shit too.

mazdaverx713b 01-24-04 01:21 AM

definatly a home made setup. prob a thunderbird hot-side and a T4 cold side.

kuhlrx7 01-24-04 07:41 AM

just like at barret jackson the owners poor choice of colors cost him dearly. can you imange one of his friends saying thats a cool color.

twigg 01-24-04 09:08 AM

lol i got censored...

i guess im just to much of a florida cracker...
comes second nature..

Rx7carl 01-24-04 09:17 AM

:rofl: Hey wait im in Orlando too. :eek:

Richard Miller 01-24-04 09:44 AM

wow, I remember Back in the eary 90's when it seemed that all of the chevy S-10 s came with that color.

Rex4Life 01-24-04 10:27 AM

To me that looks like a S5 turbo.

http://i6.ebayimg.com/02/i/01/2f/fb/41_1_s.JPG

And yea, think we beat the color out of this car. I like the ground effects package, but not the spoiler.

jimtesla 01-24-04 11:39 AM

Fugly........

1stgen4life 01-24-04 11:55 AM

Wow, that is the ugliest color I have seen in a long time! Custom ugly interior. What a waste of time and money.

ioTus 01-24-04 01:48 PM

Thats an awesome car. Paint and rims go well together. The engine bay is what needs work, its very untidy and not detailed. Thats my biggest beef w/ this car.

And no, a TII w/ stock radiator and e-fan is NOT an overheating nightmare.

Looks like he'd be getting a massive pressure drop trying to fill boost into those oversized IC ducts, they look at least 3", where teh outlet of the turbo is like 2"... at least i think i see an expander.

But sweet car regardless, dont know why hes selling it.

pratch 01-24-04 02:19 PM

ioTus - I disagree politely with your opinion on colors. Your color? Fantastic and sexy - his? well, let's just say that the color is why he's selling it - couldn't get no play from the ladies :D

BIG J MIXALOT 01-24-04 02:22 PM

that car rules
