Looks great. Not a fan of the headlight conversions myself, but yours looks good.

Could you tell me where you got your accellerator pedal? Looks like it would work much better for heel-toe work than the stock pedal.

jeez, thanks everyone! I'm suprised to see 30 comments overnight

Let me say that I am not one of the guys with a bunch of money. I just spend all of the money I do make on my car. I did all the assembly and polishing myself to save money too.

I picked the body components to my taste, so I appreciate the good combo comments

Section 8, I got the pedal cover from someone on the forums. You should be able to find it.

ROTORhead93 & diyman25: I agree, I do need a nice set of seats and a steering wheel. I ran out of fundage before I got to those

TwinTurbo'D: I do make it up to NWA on a regular basis, I was just up there yesterday. However, it will be a long while before my se7en goes anywhere but the garage.

7racer: lol on fresh coats of paint. The bodyshop decided that since they were painting a good portion of the car already, that they should just do a whole respray to make sure everything matches up

I wish they would have done some blending instead, it hit the wallett pretty good.

thanks again everyone, for the kind words

Change the lights and it would look great. The open roughness of no light covers doesn't go with the smooth lines of the car at all.

Not a huge fan of the front bumper, a '99 stock front end would look better in my idiotic opinion.

Looks good though. Congrats on a nice clean 7!

Very nice. clean look. Leme ask you...What FMIC are you running? I am running the greddy FMIC and GT35/40 single and a shop did a chop job on my IC to Turbo pip with some mad welding skillz....I want something clean like yours.

Here's a photo of what mine looks like now...really want to get rid of that pipe.

One more thing...I see right behind you UIM you have some of your vac lines running into something like a vacuum line rail...that's new to me...what is it?

Edit: damn, our bays are very similar...Except at this point yours is more refined than mine

ENGINE BAY

My question is where do you get the source and why(where) do you have so many lines coming in the cabin??

edit *Oh, real nicely done! front is a little to aggressive for my taste, but my car looks stock...so, GOOD JOB!!!

Very nice looking FD. Its obvious that you took a great deal of time and money to get things the way you wanted them. I really like the body kit, and headlights

I don't care too much for the white gauges.

Very nice

bodyshop:

had my Pettit rear flares molded, deleted rear quarter lights
changed to FEED front fenders
added FEED carbon fiber sideskirts
had the engine bay color matched
fresh coat of Porsche Arctic Silver

outside:

had the centers of my CCW's stripped, shot-peened, and clear anodized (for a light grey/gunmetal look)

inside:

Defi egt, FP, boost, and controller.

under the hood:

custom GT35/40 setup. fab work done by local friend/shop owner
Keith's rails w/ 756cc/1680cc
MicroTech LTX w/wideband
I polished pretty much everything I could
Apexi Dual N1
Koyo radiator

All this, and the damn thing has a blown motor now We blew it on the dyno, I'm pretty sure it was from timing. It laid down 325whp @ 10psi and 367whp @ 13psi on the run before it blew.

I'm pretty sure that I will be going 3-Rotor for the next setup. But for now, it's just a garage queen

I'll link a few photos, sorry they are so large. You can view all 66 pics that I took

nice car looks clean!

how do you like the GT35/40? what kind of rwhp do you see out of it?

*edit* Source from PCV nipple (big one on front of UIM)?

then...

I'm guessing:

1 - MAP (maybe...shouldn't you grab from right after TB???)
1 - Boost Controller (maybe two???
1 - Boost sensor
1 - Wastegate
1 - BOV

That's five...

Route to fender wall, to sensors. Good location, clean
