Oh and can all the jealous mother ******* that are dissin on my car PLEASE post pics of your bucket...Thanks
Sorry if you saw that as hacking on your car. I at first thought you cut away a perfectly good bumper or something. IMO the taillight idea is sorta ricey, i like the stock lights myself, maybe try the S5 lights. I love the rims, but being that high up has it affected your handling? Why the black hood, going for the carbon fiber look?

I'm not jealous, cause I got the same car

I'm saving for Mariah wide fenders and corksport type II front.

Accually the hood is just temporary. I got it to make a mold out of to make a carbon hood. I now have a sparco mugello steering wheel and sparco fighter seats (not in the car yet). I am also working on making carbon door cards that will replace the leather incert as well as the lower pocket.

The car is still sitting about an inch lower than stock. So I don't think the handling has suffered much I just want it to sit lower....without rubbing!

I'm not sure yet, I tore it down for the winter and it's getting ALOT of new stuff. I have a new 62-1 turbo and a hks GT waistgate. I an building a stainless manifold for it. It's also getting a new fuel system wich includes all Aeromotive components capible of supporting 700hp's. The system will be plumbed with -10an line from the new fuel cell to the new fuel rails. I am running 720cc primary injectors and 1600cc secondarys, This will all be controled by the new Haltech. And like I said before the IC and piping are to be redone. It's also getting a 10 point roll cage, I have taken over 170 lbs. out of the car, some of this weight will be replaced with the cage but it will still be quite a bit lighter than stock.

When all the body work is done I am going to paint it (you guy's might want to sit down for this one) Bronze to match the wheels. If you think this is ricey, you are entitled to your own opinion. But in my defence I dont think this car will be rice becouse performance has ALWAYS been first on my list, and I'm hoping that this car will end up being one of the nicest in the country. I have been building it with the top tuning company's of Japan in mind and my future mods will show this (I can't tell what these are) but rest assured, this car is quality and will continue to be.

Check it out! I like the car, **** its a FC! personally though I think 18's are a little much on a FC for performance wise. My car had Blitz 17's and they were too much but they looked clean. What kind of radiator is that? I like the engine bay but the interior is cheesy. Sorry. This is just my opinion but I like the natural one color scheme.

Not crazy about the white highlights in the interior, but the molded in s-afc looks sweet.

Bad2ndgen - check out the Apple Blosson Festival sticky post in the NW Section if you already haven't. Come on out to it in early May if you can. It's going to be a heck of a 7 gathering. It's not about 7's either. If you don't know about ABF then here's a word of caution: leave the signifiacant other at home.

I will check it out. I hope my car is done by then.

Yeah those are N1's, but just to warn you they are very loud if you have strait through exhaust.
