it used to have one on it, the first time i owned this car (long story). but it was removed by a snow bank. Now i can't decide on either a carbon lip or a painted Si lip. It will get one, so just hold your horses. O0

looks good, for some reason I've never really cared for those wheels on other cars... but they look pretty good on your car.

Looks nice. Please get us some videos asap. I always ask for videos. LOL. I love seeing videos of boosted setups. They speak for themselves.

Also are those the gt3's? Looks real nice. Again please post up some video if you can.

Props on the setup. Who is going to tune your setup? Are you getting a street tune first or hopping on the dyno?

Congrats.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Yes, those are the GT3's.

I will get some video when the car is running again. I've been known to do a burnout or two in my time.

I will be tuning this one myself. I bought the moates burner, 5 chips, and Zif sockets. I've been trying to wrap my mind around the whole process of editing a rom for my specific application. I have downloaded a few .bins from another user here (thanks scttydb411) that is using a similar setup. I'll start with one of those tunes and see how she runs. There is a dyno about 30 minutes from me and the next big purchase i'm making will be a WBO2 sensor.

I also got the pipes welded up today and they are currently hanging in the basement with paint drying.

more pics...kinda looks like giant macaroni painted silver ;D

Oh, and I think I'll leave this in there, just in case I feel like scattering engine pieces all over the road. >:D

Ok, here's the pics of the car finished. I didn't get any pics of the piping with the bumper off but it looks pretty damn good all painted silver and such. And the under hood still needs a good detailing and the nitrous wiring needs loomed up, but I think it's pretty enough to show off for now.


here's a front view, you just barely notice the intercooler when looking at the car.

This one's kinda tough, but it is a shot of the 1g dsm bov. Mounted in the driver's fender well, this is a shot snapped from between the fender liner and the bumper cover. Sounds pretty cool, not too loud either.

That's it so far, I've been driving it a few days out of the week, and the other night a buddy of mine shot some video of the car. As soon as I get a copy, I'll post it up too.

what sensor is that?

Re: Pics of my progress...slowly getting there..NO 56k
 
Why, that's no sensor Blue...that's a NX nitrous nozzle. :4
