Wow.... I agree, sweet ride. Again, wheel brand, offsets, and tire sizes please? Thanks!

I know a lot of guys are running V8s in their FDs and although I wouldn't do it myself, I still respect the 'hot rodding' spirit that goes into engineering the change. IMO, there's just something weird about seeing an RX-7 and hearing 'Firebird' or 'Camero' when the car is fired up. But, as I said... to each his own.

And what about Corvette sounds? Don't tell me you don't like how they sound?

Especially one with a blower.

car looks great, but it seems the front half is a completely different shade of silver than the rear? I won't comment on the LS1, but at least you kept it tasteful with the 99 spec parts

Not only that but the sunroof is primered. Car needs paint, I work for a living and save my pennies to buy parts. When the extra money comes in for paint, it will have it but then again it still runs even with bad paint.

Offsets are +35

Thanks man.

It does look like glass. I used Mar-hyde black primer and spent some time wet sanding it with 800 then 1100. Then I can just scuff it up when its time to spray it again. Its needed pant since I got it, but I did get it as a project.

wow amazing ! looks so great.

once again, you all need to start putting the BOV on the correct side. you want to get rid of pressure on the throttle body side, putting it on the turbo side is inefficient.
