very nice, i love that color man.

hahaha i see a orange in one of ur pics

hah i saw that too! my first thought was that it was a model car in the pic then i saw the orange.

:icon_tup: Looks great dude!! Love everything BUT the giant tach but hey...to each there own. Great job and a project that has come a long way.

thanx everyone... its come along way since ive owned it..... and the tach is definently contravercial, but i need it! my 8k rpm tach is too low, my new redline will be between 8500-9k ... so i need a 10k tach..... ill probubly be placing it in a less "ricer" location.... i was thinking about getting a smaller one, and grafting it into the stock tack location... we'll see

but doesn't your stock tach go to 9K?

cant remember... i thought it went to 8k?!?! oh well, its 2am here..cant think

if its a s5 n/a gauge cluster it does.

So did you decide to take the graphics off? Because it looks a lot better without the graphics and white wheels. The black wheels give it a good look. Good work, that car went through some major changes.

yeah the car is alright..... not my personal style.

he he, just playin Jesse. car looks great, you know I love it! I see you got around to looking at all the pictures I gave you. ;) I cant wait untill it's done. she is gona be a monstor. nie to see you droped off the motor yesterday. make sure you let me know when you get it back.

and just for the record, your friend didnt Just get tired of working on it, he also had no room when he moved, and started another project. I loved that car, I didnt really want to sell it all at the time. (now of course I know that everything worked out for the better) :D

Vipers, I belive your tach is an 8k tach. that was the whole reason for the new tach... that and your OEM one does not work anymore.

Well...if there is a purpose for the tach then right on. If you are running a new turbo motor soon you probably wont need that tach. Factory will do fine.

Wow Jesse your car went through a lot of different looks. I forgot it used to be an NA.

I demand pics with the new wheels!

I second that.

lol.. well ask and you shall recieve...... i literally just had them put on today, so it was a good day to ask:) i also put my roll bar in today too!

note.. i know they are bad pics of the wheels.... i took really quick pics early today... ill get better ones soon, so everyone can get the whole idea:)


also, please dont comment on the front camber...its getting an alignment done very soon...

:yum:
