:eek: wow me like...tho not sure about the painted lip...but damn

Awesome car, Nick. The wing looks amazing!

when are you selling? ;)

that is one big ass turbo

Very nice!

nice man

so thats what you were doing to your FD all this time ;)

beautiful. i don't mind the pinted lip so much now that i see it.

sweet nick :)

What color is that? I'm thinking about painting my car Viper red that has a slight hint of orange to it. It looks a lot like your color. BTW, it looks really nice, specially with those CCWs, good God that's hott!

Very clean car, and thats one good sized turbo

wow that looks so nice

whered you get the efini parts

Do you still have your A/C compressor?

sweet car, that looks like rotoboy's v-mount set up....guess you need to change your plates since you have a single now...

very nice...

Nick, it looks like crap. Lemme save you from it... esp that horrid V-mount IC :D VERY nice man. Love the look :boink:

haha funny u say that

I thought a V mount was worthless without a vented hood to let the hot air out?

A vented hood is added cooling, but V-mounts work fine without them.

Looks great Nick! I just picked up the seats from Ramy yesterday! I wish I could of seen your car.

PHIL

damn thats sweet... not a fan of that front licsense plate though

Sweet car! :bigthumb: What kind of wheels are they?

haah yeah would have been nice to meet up...i just couldnt get hte time to come up and tune this weekend...i will be on friday though:)...see ya next time your in the area!

I have it yes...is it in...no :)

CCW 18x10's all the way around


thanks guys for all the compliments...

That is tight. Beautiful FD!

What the hell kind of turbo is that?

love the car ,but dont like them rims painted black ,it makes the car look like a 80's american sportscar like a firebird or camaro kinda reminds me of night rider,jeje but the car is really nice

very nice ride dude!!

i imagine the spool up time with a v mount is less than a front mount bc its less distance for the air to travel. Has anyone ran both and noticed a significant difference?

^^well i tune on friday so we shall see...i had an apexi fmic before...

The car looks awesome man, and i'm loving the 99 conversion. Good choice. :)

Nick,

Great looking car. How did the bodyshop prep the lip to get the paint to adher to it, or should I say adher to it better so rock and such don't leave you with a red/black lip in 6 months?

Tim

Yeah, what color is that?

Looks awesome Nick. I know we've spent a lot of hard work getting that car up, running and looking good. Congrats.

Tim, you can always 3M clearcoat that lip...

Darkness, you're in McLean? My God...where do you guys hide?! lol. I'm in Vienna, and my boy lives in McLean. I know I've never seen you, and neither has he!

Hey FDNewbie!! I usually only take the car out a few times per week depending on the weather. I haven't been driving it a lot lately (bad thermostat and OMP). Should be up and running by next weekend *crosses fingers*. Do you know where Lewinsville park is? I'm in that immediate area.

Lewinsville Park? You GOTTA be kidding me. You know how I told you my friend lives in McLean? The star is where he lives LOL!

I'm at his place ALL THE TIME, and I roll up w/ my FD a lot, and still have never seen you! That's crazy...

Ha, small world. LOL. I live inside Lewinsville park. It's owned by Fairfax County Park Authority and there's a county house in the rear of the park next to the tennis courts that I live in. I work for the Park Authority so I rent out the house. You should roll by some time.

Sweet ride.

darkness, I'll def drop by sometime! :)

Hey Nick, hope ya don't mind the side convo Mr V-mount :D (I'll have your $$ for you soon btw) Yea...some loser (who I'll leave unnamed, but I know who he is) felt so strongly about my short side convo that he just HAD to give me bad feedback for it. He couldn't even spell correctly in his feedback :rlaugh: But yea...funny, I didn't know you could hijack a thread from a friend, esp. when you're talking to his other friend :rolleyes:

BTW, I talked to my boy Mike re: what we talked about the other nite, and he's gonna hit you up (more thread hijacking from yours truly ;) )

haha...no problem ramy...i just recieved his pm and sent one back :) I was going to post thanks for hijacking my thread as a joke but i guess someone took it seriously...lol...talk to you soon bud...

thank you

Not sure how really to decribe it...but its basically a red thats a few shades lighter than the stock vr paint code and has a hint more orangy hue to it....

So who is going to tune it?

ray at pfs ;)

good choice, good luck! I just noticed ccw is now offering its one peice line in 18 inch sizes. Hopefully they have 18x10 50mm ones. They have great prices for some good looking quaility wheels. BTW car looks great. Mike

still would like to know what turbo you are running... :) inquiring minds have been dying for a response

are you going to put an air filter on the turbo when driving on the streets?

Nice job, Nick. Let us know how it comes out after tuning! My baby is almost back from the paint shop, too, ready to get suspension done, v-mount (smaller than yours), etc. Thanks for your contribution toward getting it back on the road (Nick sold me a door, Scoot-type hood and upper rear suspension arm). That hood needed a lot of prep-work: it was not very smooth and I had to make it an inch wider, but it works now. I'll post pics as soon as she's rolling again. Mark
