Update on the 7

Well, 10 months after I got my her, the 7 is finally approaching completion. Even though I only got to drive her for less than a month, it's still worth the wait.

Anyway, just thought I share some pics and get some feedbacks. All comments and suggestions are welcome.

So far the car's got:

Veilside D1 GT full kit w/ Type II CF GT Wing
18" Gramlight 57 Pro
Rotora 6 pistons big brake kit
Rotora 4 pistons big brake kit
HKS Carbon Titanium catback exhaust
Wisesports HID kit
Tein Flex coilover w/ EDFC
Custom smoked LED tail lamp
Bride bucket seats
Blitz gauges
Custom painted black interior
Sparco steering wheel w/ NRG quick release hub
B&M short shifter

The car will head to an engin shop next week and have the following done:

ASPEC GT3574 turbo kit w/ ceremic coating
ASPEC 450R fuel system w/ 850cc primaries and 1600cc secondaries
ARC front mount intercooler
Stage II rebuild w/ street porting
Greddy Elbow
Greddy Pulley
Aluminum AST
Oil Catch can
Gotham Racing twin oil cooler
HKS SSOV BOV
HKS Super firing plugs
Racing beat clutch and flywheel

I can't wait 'til she's done!





I'll try to post more updates and better quality photos later.

Although the body is not my first choice, you have a very nice car and you seem to know what to do mod-wise. Good luck with the project.

That's quite a project. Can't go wrong with gramlights.

yeah, the kit might be a little over the edge for most of you, and I was actually a little surprised on how much the front sticks out, but then it's veilside, so i guess it was expected. I like it over all though.

I was really inspired by this





and here's a front shot of the car, bodykit still needs to be buffed



Thanks for all the comments so far

thats one thing i hate most about aftermaket kits, is how much they stick out, they are allmost long enough to be a slide. (not bagging your car, just bodykits)

yea i almost forgot love your wheels, pro 57 is what i want, love them.

I like it. As long as it's done right and it's clean i can't hate too hard because of my "tastes".

I actually like that wing. If it didn't have the funky wing plates (things on the side) i'd prolly rock it.

Yah I know, i'm actually concern about this. i'm thinking about raising the car about 1/2" all around.
