the before and after of my 7

i was thinking to my self the other day,while looking at my 7. how youve come such a long way. and though she still needs a few more things like paint, a fresh rebuild,a racing seat,and a lexan rear hatch. shes come a long way. so i found some pics of when i first got her 6 years ago.

looks great,

when i was modifying my front bumper i had an initial reaction to the fc2000 front end.

I thought it looked too slick for the late 80s design lines. But, many people have used the fc2000 bumper since then and created a masterpiece and even I started to admire it.

get ITBs. Not many people go that route because its too expensive and wont crack out as much power as a turbo swap, but i think that being different is a lot better then being faster.
