Here are some pics I took when I was on vacation last week, drove the rx from Frederick Co. MD to SmithMountain Lake in Roanoke VA, only stopping once for gas and cool down. After a week being there drove to Lake Anna, Louisa VA near Culpepper I believe, once again only stopping once for the same reasons. I'll have to say that I was worried but she did well. I was very comfortable the whole time and had a blast driven it. I didn't pay too much attention to gas mileage but it seemed to be pretty good, I would guess around 17-20 driving as normal as you can in one of these machines. I'm pretty much just a lurker around here but figured I would chime in and say thanks to all that post info on this site. I have gained so much knowledge from this forum and look forward to going to some of the meets in my area in the near future.

Thanks everyone, I'm not sure what IMB is, the car is painted HOK Blurple. Still running stock block and stock turbos non sequential.
Performance mods are....
PFS Catback exhaust
Greddy FMIC
Apexi PFC
Petti Down & Mid Pipe
ACT Clutch
Racing Beat Fly Wheel
Greddy Power Pulley
1300cc Secondary Injectors
Apexi Intake
Koyo Rad
Brembo rotors
Ummm, thats all I can think of right now, except the power steering and AC have been removed and battery relocated to behind the passenger seat.
Style mods are...
Euro marker lights
99 Spec Tail lights
Work Emotion CR wheels, 18 by 8.5 front, 18 by 9.5 rear, currently on 225/40 & 245/40 rear
Interior mods are slim...got an eclipse cd player, double din with monitor. Interior is currently under construction, the previous owner had switch from tan to black and I'm only missing one thing now and that is the sun visors. This area is next on the list and the car gets final tuning done next week.
For the future, I plan on running this engine and turbos till she lets go or gets close to it and as of now I plan on still running a twin setup, just bigger. This is a street car for me, I don't race or plan on racing it, it's just a fun and gun car that I wanted since back in my senior year of high school when one of rich buddies parents bought him on for his birthday. I just added myself to the group buy on the sleek headlights seeing that last night I was out f'n around and when I hit around 90mph the driver's side headlight cover flew off. I turned around and got it and it didn't crack, it's just all scratched up. The lighting has been an issue with this car, motors bad etc. So F' it, I'm going to give these after markets a chance. As for tires, I plan on putting 235/40 on the front and 265/35 on the rear after these wear out. Here are some older pics...

Thanks again for all the compliaments. I've only been around since May of this year when I got the car, most of the modifications were already on the vehicle. I took a chance with thinking that it may need work and had the savings to handle that. PFS has said that it looks good, no leaks etc but all will show when the tuning is complete. The previous owner managed a 11.9 run with the car as it is now except for the change in exhaust from loud as hell HKS Drager to a PFS catback, I'm getting old and need to save my hearing. I'll post my tuning results when done and let you all know what I run once I get a friday night off. I have the vid of the 11.9 run but it's too large to post, can anyone resize it?
