Default My car is almost done!

http://forums.projectam.com/index.ph...pic=7982&st=50




I been modding my car for two years now, it's been slow progress but it's getting there...

My mods are

Tein FLEX Coil Overs with EDFC
TE37 in Black 19in
(Tires 245/35 and 275/35)
Greddy Turbo Kit with Intercooler
Defi Boost Gauge
Defi Control Link
Defi EGT Gauge
Greddy Turbo Timer
Greddy Boost Controller
Helix Test Pipe
Greddy Type-R BOV
Greddy Evo II Exhaust
ARC Oil Catch Can
ARC Titanium Radiator Panel
Nismo Sway Bars
Stillen Camber Arms
Stillen Toe Arms
Performance Nissan Upper Control Arms
Nismo Radiator Cap
Walbro Puel Pump 255lph
Nismo Thermostat

What do you think? I still need to upgrade the clutch, add bodykit, etc. but I like the results so far.

very nice!

(BTW...until you get your body kit, i would remove the mud guards...they take away from the sporty look of the car.)

Ditto what Zenvy said. What Bodykit are you gonna go with? I think Greddy front lip, sides and rear end. But thats just my opinion.

AGREE on no body kit!!!

If you do get one, please get a tasteful one! Like a small lip and small side skirts, etc. I hate huge body kits!!! lol

Akira I have one question, how in the world did you get your car that high on jackstands? Just curious I didn't think it was possible.

You lift the front a little, put two jack stands. You lift the back little, put two jack stands. Then you go back to the front and lift little more, etc. You just have to life little at a time until you get the hight you want.

Oh, and I am getting really simple kit. I am trying to go for that sleeper look.

Turbo kit was $5500 with intercooler. Add another $400 for boost controller, turbo timer, and BOV. And for the install? $1000. So over all $6900.

I agree...Black wheels on a White Car looks totally WHACK!

Hope they didn't cost you much...LOL!

Beautiful car man, I think the wheels look great! I agree with the small lip spoiler suggestions, don't mess up your tasteful car with a ricey kit!

Well, I wouldn't get flashy kits anyway. That's not my style. I like the subtle, understated look. I think I am just going to get Nismo kit or just add a carbon lip. Anyways, thanks for the comments.
