Yeah it was mine, and I offered it to you through PM. As a dsmer of 10 dsms, I told him every little problem I could think of before he took it home. Nothing I hate more then is, someone selling these, and then once gone, they are laughing because the car was junk. The big problems to me, were small problems to him. Im stoked to see how it turns out. :hellyeah:

I thought you understood that was my plan? Remember when we were loading it on the trailer...and I was like...dont worry about the kit. Perhaps you thought I only meant the front bumper.


Thanks for the replies guys. I got a bit more work to do before I make a parts list for this car but so far its:

FMIC

Aluminium Radiator

CF Hood/Hatch...(possibly doors not too sure. I have em on my other car.)

Enkei Ev5 Rims

1G Throttle Body

Magnus "Race" Intake Manifold

FP Race exhaust Mani

x1 ARP headstud

Sparktech COP unit (plug-n-play type)

New belts...all except A/C

Guages (Boost, Wideband, Oil Pressure.)

Hallman Pro Boost Controller

Goin with FFWD's Fuel kit also ( I have it on my Gst and love it)

Also need everything thats required in an Auto-Manual swap.

I also currently have a ECM link V3 and 800cc FIC injectors that were meant for my Gst, but I would gladly use for this.

Thats all I can think of off the top of my head.

*Did I mention a Holset HX40 is goin into this?

Definitely gunna be fun!
 
I'm not. When I said CF doors I was just sayin that I already have em on my other car...and I dont know if I want them on my other car too. I plan on a Scoote 2 CF hood and Cf hatch for sure. Just not sure on the doors atm.

Doors are a bi*** to install.
 
excellent work removing that fugly body kit.:rocks::hellyeah: that god forsaken blitz kit is the worst one too.:banghead: i puke in my mouth everytime i see it.:notgood:
 
I love that kit. Tony dont trash it, if you want it gone let me know
 
It's just chillin in one of my rooms atm. Didnt realize you loved it that much. You got it for $150 right?

Obviously it would be a long ass trek to get it tho.
 
I saw that dipstick over on the tranny side, and I realized that could only mean one thing. I dont know how people do it. The turbo cars should have never come in anything but 5 speed. And before someone slams me and tells me there are built autos out there. I know, I bought these cars new off the lot on more than one occasion.
