i love the stock tb elbow used with the aftermarket intercooler and an extra 180 degree bend. it makes it feel so homey.

I'll post some pics of mine pretty soon. I just finished it a few weeks ago.... well, I still need to put the BOV on, and make some ducting for all the air.

but holy crap, I want to get the buddy club racing bucket, and that same suede sparco steering wheel.... reminds me of what my car will probably look like in a few months. lol.

it has the stock AFM because it is still mostly stock aside from a streetport. Stand alone ecu and turbo upgrades are gonna come later. No more money for the project at the moment.

link worked for me.

yeah dude, looks like trash?? you see the interior you numbnut retard. its a gutted out racecar.

and stock ecu would do fine with some piggyback stuff. i mean you can make good power, a 2400lb car w/ more than 300rwhp will do wonders with suspension and tires.
H mount just gives it great cooling on a track.

i approve, 3 thumbs up. those are some crazy backfires though

Nice v mount set up. Do you have a vented hood? Get a greddy tb adapter to get rid of that horrible stock bend.

if it was my car i would get a greddy tb adapter or make one for that matter but this is a customers car who is on a budget and he is already way over budget even with it looking the way it does. We will be venting an NA hood. Dont worry no ghetto vents will be used it will all be fabricated and smoothed out with fiberglass and then a thin layer of bondo (yes bondo can be found on a racecar just not in large amounts)

Thanks for the positvie feed back ilike2eatricers, node, and andrew.

All you haters please keep given me feedback as well cause I know things can be done better or in different ways and would like to hear what you have to say. One car cant please everyone.

From what it sounds like (and how long it takes to decel), it sounds like the pretty easy method of just revving the thing in the 7500-8500rpm range in ignition break-up and just pumping the throttle off and on, occasionally letting it drop a bit more, then repeating. It's pretty easy to do it on any stock ecu setup with some nice flame results, the only problem is it's so excessively beating the **** out of the engine.

Looks like a nice budget racer tho!
