Talking Pics of new T2 Rex.

Got some pictures of her uploaded. These are from Phone camera, Not bad tho.
I have others on the digital but apparently the wife Poofed the camera cords.. LOL






More to come. Apparently most of the body panels are T2 also LOL..
From What I know She has an Apexi Exhaust, 3inch down pipe, No cat (I welded a straight pipe up). She has a front Mount IC 2 /12 by 1/12 by 3in from JMD sport mounted but piping is not plumed.( I do have the pipes 2/12in), Greddy 2 1/2 in intake and a HKS SQV. Stance Full Coilovers, Nitto tires, S5 motor/J-spec ecu, Sloted rotors with ceramic pads. And a boat load of Spare Parts...

$2,200 a Good deal??

sounds like a good deal, how many pounds of boost is it making and what did he do for fuel? if its running fcd i would get rid of it, other than that it looks like you got a pretty decent deal. interior shots?

Looks sweet!

Look into getting injectors, bigger fuel pump, and some sort of management(rtec, safc). As a stock Turbo II with intake/exhaust will flow way more air, and the stock fuel system cannot keep up, causing it to lean out, and potentially blowing your motor.

I was actually interested in the car. But I live to far to go get it and it didn't run at the time I talked to him. If it would've ran, I maybe would've bought it. I think it was worth $2200.

Does the car run now? I know it is switched over to all S5 but is really a S4.

The car looks fine, I don't think the wheels look bad.

Yes she Runs Great! Fast as hell! I did have to do ALOT of work... When I bought her she was in peaces.. I cant even tell yea how many random things I have Had to bolt, tighten, clamp down, replace... The bigest things were, the strut bolts (The ones that mount the hub to the coilover) were hanging on the bottom on the coilover 3/4 way backed out with no nut on it.. And 2 fuel lines were coming off with no clamps.. I have had to go though the hole car.. Im still finding things. like just today had to diag the flashers. Turns out the wiring harness was unpluged from the back of the dash..
Just got her driving reliable, shes going back for a re-inspect Monday.

looks like a good start to a promising car.
id remove those decals. intrax springs isnt that great of a name imo.
Wheels are kinda on the sknny side *they would be right at home on a front wheel drive like a cavalier*

Good deal though, fresh jdm tII motor, s5 appearance, suspension!

Update: Got a fresh VA State inspection on her.
Yes, she was a s4 GTU.. She is hitting 8 pounds of boost and loving it. Found out the rear end was also swapped to a JDM posi..
