I'm 27 - Software Consultant / Entrepreneur. I got my FD about 4 months ago for 10k. It had blown turbos and the left side of the engine compartment in the back. I've since put a set of Efini twins on it and put it back together. I'm about to have to take them back off and replace the exhaust manifold because some jack-leg decided to put the wrong manifold (non-seq) on the car during a rebuild and I didn't have enough experience to check it before i put the car back together.

It's got:
DP
MP
cat-back
Intakes
New Efini Twins
Greddy Pullys and no air pump
silicone hose job

So far I've got 13k in it total. Looking to put another 3k into it soon.

next mods:
Apexi FC
Walbro 255 fuel pump
100cc secondary injectors
M2 medium SMIC

Hoping to get about 230 to the ground.

Jeremy
