Discount on bent parts! The one on the passenger side should have made it though.

At least the wheels didn't crack or shatter. They held up like they should. The car? Not so much.

They may have been yanked off, as were the ECU, Injectors, Fuel rail and shift **** and shifter. I am not sure why they didn't grab the exhaust while they were at it.

These guys also carry APS parts in the Atlanta area.

http://www.carterrace.com/

I'm trying to find some info about that intake manifold, but I can't seem to find anything on google. The car was probably turbo'd if it has APS parts on it though. Doubt if the bottom end was built, as it's pretty easy to make power with these cars without building them.

Edit: Isn't that a turbo in this pic?

Yes car had a single turbo kit, fuel system, some sort of tune on the ECU, plenum polish and spacer, powder coated timing covers and a few other goodies. From what I have heard so far the motor was a built low compression motor but I do not know exactly what is into it.

I will ask around the area and see if anyone can think of the pervious owner. I haven't heard of anything like that recently, but then again events do die when its cold.

I would call Z1, Battlground, Forged, and maybe even Lethal Injection. One of the shops more than likely touched this car.

I have contacted forged and Z1 I will have to try to contact the other shops as well.

4SHIZZIL If you don't know us or my boss Jim everything has a price lol even his built 350z roadster twin turbo that he hasn't even broken in yet. We do not want to break up the turbo kit though. We will sell it as a complete swap or as just the turbo kit.

let me double check it will fit on my G with my Richie Strut Bar. I cant remember if I had a strut bar on my car already or not.

Im already fully built running about 600rwhp on meth. Tune next week on meth 557 so far on 93 octane.

wont fit!

daum... If I didnt just powder coat my upper and lower plenums and strut bar... Id be over this.

FYI if folks do their homework, NOTHING out performed the APS kit. Even the new Cosworth cant compete with high boost applications. Cosworth leak through the Carbon Fiber after 18 or so PSI.

free disappointed I cant use bump!
