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.

... 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 ****, man, I dropped my clip...

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.

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 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.

To me that looks like a S5 turbo.



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

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

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.

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
