GTUsT getting a small FMIC for now......
Once I have more cash I will upgrade to a better core but until then this will do.......I started 3 days ago....removing the bumper and 1/4 panel (has a dent so I decided to pull it)......today My friend and I fabbed the brackets and welded them in place (not permanently because we have to wait for the corksport front end to make final adjustments) and next week I'll try to get the piping.......I will also be getting a custom TID and I will install my SAFC and AVCR........my friend has his own shop so I have air tools and a TIG welder available for me me.....he's pretty good with cars and does not overcharge like most small shops around town.....

i know...................no turbo upgrade yet.........my goal is 350-400 rwhp.......but right now I'm on the stock turbo.....I haven't found a good deal on a turbo (695 for an S4 BNR Stage 2 with manifold for 690 bux is nice but no cash right now).........I'm doing my upgrades in stages and eventually building up to 350 HP..........next mods: fuel pump and 720cc secondaries.......when? when I have some cash.....lol.

pics were down........here's the car so far......Next weekend We do the piping and I hope to start her up again......I am working with another forum member on the vented hood and I will continue working on a custom underbelly pan to maximize air Flow.
here are the pics that were posted above and some new ones.
I might look into black mesh to hide it better though.....
after I get her running again I will start installing my electronics......followed by some dynotuning when $$ alllows it.

If you have exhaust, 3" TID, and FMIC, you should probably go ahead with the fuel if you wanna be safe... Lookin good though...

when you had the bumper reinforced did it fit on your FC? It's a bit off......I was going to rivet it on anyways so it doesn't matter....
