I saw your car over at Z Fever a while back. It certainly has come a LONG way since then. I'm interested in seeing what kind of power you can pull out of it.

Oh, and I guess the wife knows about it now?

Who knows... It's been gone over 13 weeks at this point but right now we are waiting on APS to send a solenoid replacement for the check valve issue. What can I say, when it rains it pours!

You don't like it? I think it's a nice contrast. I would have preferred a chrome look but hey hindsight is 20/20.

BTW, I need a subbox and some speaker spacers. PM me.

Yeah, we are still hoping for over 500 whp! If we get it, I think this will be the most HP out of an APS ST to date.

OH btw, the wife still doesn't know about the turbo.

That's so funny! I knew someone would say that!

I am putting a new body kit on soon, so the bra wil go bye bye.

But I still like the looks even if you (and many others) don't.
