Some more pics of my ride, this is the pre turbo stage.
 
I was bored, so I decided to post up pics of my finished ride, Its finally on the road and I'm driving it, the B16 is just like everyone says, a torqueless pile of ----.
Other than the fucked up LMA, the loud engine because of it and the lack of boost, I like it, its really quick once you get past 5K RPM, and between 7-8 it really moves with the GSR tranny, but torque wise its like riding a cammel.

I pulled a stealthmode on my intercooler, actually in the day time it still stands out quite a bit, much less at night though, I like to keep things clean so they dont catch the eye so much, cops are getting worse here by the day, not to mention theft goes up by 5% a year.

Nothing special here, I painted the hubcaps black to keep with my Red and Black Scheme I'm going with. the car is dropped on Intrax Super Sport springs, the rear springs had to be cut by 1/4 coil to get the car to lower a bit more, the front was fine, the rear looked like a Jeep.

This is my interior...oh wait, there is no interior, only mod here so far is the relocation of the battery. when I get some money and some bills paid off, I'll be getting a strut brace in here. after that maybe even a 4pt roll cage.

Let me know what you think, I have come a long way with this car, not bad considering I bought the Shell for $300 with almost nothing in or on it, put the whole car together, did all of the body work, built the engine and assembled everything. in total this project cost me between $3500-4K.

This is the car the day I bought it(I'm pretty sure I posted this before) anyway, it took alot of time and money to get it where it is now, but it was all worth it.

I will update with more pictures and maybe a video once I get my Turbo on and the car tuned.

It didnt buk, thoes pics you found were taken in dark light when it was snowing/raining, that was months ago, the pics I took were in sunlight and the car was dirty, the car is still red. I just dont know how to use a camera properly.

Eventually any bright red will fade and get pinkish, red is one of thoes fucked up colors. go with a darker red and you should be fine.

looks good dude, even if you dont care if i think so, i still like it. i would sell that racing seat to some ricer and get the stock one back in though, other than that even the hubcaps are pimp.

you need to add a before picture martin.

btw, you plan on adding a rear interior? something about a fast car w/ full interior excites me. :y

especially if this is your DD.

Looks straight tho, good work on the body.

Thanks man.
As a wise man once said, "to be fast you need lose weight" Believe it or not, the rear interior, spare tire, rear seatbelts weight a ---- load when you pick them up together all at once, so a fast car with full interior will be even faster if you take it out.

both rear seats, both rear pannels, seatbelts and spare wheel weight much more than 20lbs, and even if it was, thats alot of weight for a torqueless B16 to pull.

Yeah but I also like the look, and its also an excuse if I'm going somewhere and everyone wants to come with me, I can then only take 1 person.
