FL Almost done with the car, check out the pics!

hey guys

its been a long time since i been out to the meets with you guys since i been building my car.

almost done now, should be finishing her up this weekend
and actually even though the motor had 90k miles on it, the turbos were like brand new, no shaft play at all, me and phil were really surprised lol

just need to do the battery relocation and it'll be done

this is what i've done so far:

-street ported motor with 2mm RA seals
-upgraded the stock oil cooler to a fluidyne unit with all stainless lines
-changed all the vacuum lines with the Hose techniques kit
-heat wrapped the bottom of the UIM
-heat wrapped the downpipe and midpipe
-stage 2 SPEC clutch
-HKS twin-power
-Tein coilovers
-new rear brake calipers (mines were lodged on and wouldnt disengage )
-Volk GT-U 18x8, 18x10 with invo tires (THESE ARE FOR SALE!!!!!)
-Custom V-Mount setup
-Greddy elbow
-Blitz BOV

i'm sure theres more but thats what it is so far...and i'm picking up the wheels today so i'll post up more later on

Comments and input guys!!! would love to know if i'm forgetting anything or what you guys think

btw dont mind how large the intercooler piping is...i'm setting everything up for going single really soon, plan on doing the gt3574 kit...so for now this intercooler system is going to be reallyyyyy inefficient but, i dont want to have to go and re-make intercooler piping

Looking good! But by your username...? Curacao! I went there for 2 weeks this time last year. It was AWESOME! Loads of diving and good sights. Went to Klein and scuba dived many good spots. Met a ton of great people and had a blast. All inclusive resort was bitchin' awesome! They have a pretty neat car scene there. Couple of R33 GT-R's and EVO IV's. I'm sure there's more but I could only see so much in such little time.
