I heard the balance is about the same. I personally don't care about the balance. I wanted a V8 and the reliablity it will give me. James

Mine started out as a stock 93 red touring. I then put some wheels on it and a Apex Single turbo etc. etc.

I then totalled it when I hit a tree in PA. I then bought a completely stock 93 red R1. I ripped it apart and completely changed it with a new bodykit, color change, work wheels and a Greddy T88 Turbo Kit etc. etc.

It then looked like this.

I got tired of the way it looked so I changed it again.

And now it looks like this

I started off buying mine in oct 03 from hinson, before he could tear it apart and bastardize it. It was blown and completely stock, halfway taken apart with some light body damage/attempted repair. First thing I did was put the car back together in stock form and be sure I had a solid platform to build from, electrically and drivetrain. Here it is January 04.





Then I set to work with the body repair and engine modification. After running 4 different engine/turbo setups between now and then (stockport, nonsequential twins; streetport, 60-1; streetport, t04E; and now halfbridgeport, t78) and making a couple small changes to the body and interior, here are today's pictures of what I consider the "final" incarnation. Counting the cost of the car and all the mods, and of course me doing all my own labor, I have about $30k in it as it sits, and I dont think anyone here could build a car this modded for that much.
