We'll see, not sure if I'm free that day, but if so I might tag along.
IF the car is tuned.

Car is back together and so far I've had ZERO issues with exhaust leaks, coolent/oil leaks and rubbing. *knocks on wood* it really has run perfect from the first turn of the key.

I put a few miles on the car today, the car sounds like a total beast, I took a little sound clip from my digital camera but it really doesn't do the car justice. It's the kind of car you see on the road and say to yourself, wow that car has got to have massive power. SUPER DEEP

here's some pictures of the car back together.








I had car toys cut the bumper to fit the I/C however with the I/C installed, it must have stuck out a bit farther then when we had it hung on the car test fitting it. I spent 2-3 good hours test fitting and using my dremel trying to get the damn thing right. I had to cut the main hole up front, both charge pipes had to have A LOT cut and also the little air inlet, I didn't even bother with the dremel at first, so much had to come out I took out the hacksaw and took a big chunk out, then went back to using the dremel.

in the end it turned out pretty good, it looks pretty nice having a big 3" pipe behind that inlet.

=)

Looks awsome man! Grats. I'm going to be looking into this kit myself. Hopefully when it's tuned you get some nice numbers out of it!

Wasn't able to get tuned this weekend, however I have an appointment with Dave for next Saturday.

Car should make up to 650hp the limiting factor is the motor, trying to aim for as close to 400 torque as I can get on a safe tune.

I have a feeling it will be an all day thing. getting there around 9am

=(

still need to do a few more things other then tuning. like the return fuel line and rear end plus I'm sure something will have to be adjusted on the turbo kit, what are the chances everything is perfect?
