Thumbs up That's tight!

I'm confused though? ...looks like single turbo but there's 2 intakes?

Change the shift boot to blue! Hey, your in San Diego, how are you passing smog?

Thanks GoRacer-No, it's still twin (no single yet ) The shift boot will be black. I'll figure out the Smog thing when the time comes . I'll be making a simple false floor in the trunk to house the audio. Didn't want anything too crazy, just simple and clean audio. The false floor will be laminated in carbon fiber. Audio compliments of MA Audio.

disblone-Big brakes would have been great, but I love the Powerslots, especially for the price.

rx7_lover-The paint was done at Goldcrest Autobody in San Diego. 619-229-8802. The blue is a custom mix and the silver is a PPG silver. Not sure the exact color code, but I'll check it.

zayrx7-All the polishing was done at La Jolla polishing. The owner, Jose, is a cool guy to deal with and has great prices. His # is 619-562-3491.

JoeD-The LEs don't have much of a lip on them. Maybe 1-1 1/2in. For a fat lip, go with a multipiece wheel.

Venom858-I'm always down for car shopping(even if it's not mine! LOL), and would be happy to help you out when you get one. PM me and we'll go spend some money.

dimaguila1-Thanks....I think?

Thanks for all the compliments guys!

Very nice!

Haven't spoken w/ you in awhile and was wondering what you were up to since I haven't seen you post here. Finally got your PowerSlots! Did you find a place to do the audio installation yet?

Great look'n car!

I was wondering how hard it was to remove the front bumper? I have a C-west to put on mine, and I havn't had time to sit down with it yet, but do you have any tricks/tips to remove the factory one? I don't want to bust anything of course!
Or if you could point me to a website with instructions or something that would be wonderful!!
Thanks, and could you post a pic of where you mount the Nitros Oxide in your car...with the car audio in the back I wasn't sure where you were planning on putting the bottle.
Also, what type of ECU (EMS) do you have in there?
-Dave

Crushunit-I wish I could, but the end-tanks won't allow it. I'll leave this one in until I go single turbo, then go with a Apex GTR core and mount it up front.

Dom-I'll be installing the audio myself (running out of cash!! LOL)

Coop-Honestly, I don't remember the removal of the stock bumper in detail, just don't forget the bolts attaching it to the inside of the fender. The Nitrous Express kit will be integrated with the false floor in the trunk. I should have a few pics by the end of next week. I've got a Power FC and a AVC-R.

FavBandDMB-Thanks. Dom is correct, they are C-West. Steering wheel is MOMO
