Just out of curiosity how much is the GTM turn key with brakes/clutch and gauges? Also do you have anything done to the interior yet? I say FI. There's no better feeling than boost but no worse feeling than boom.

Does seem fishy. 19's TA's also he sounds like a ricer fan boy and it just doesn't add up to have a set of crappy used advans, (jdm tyte) baller wheels that look like chit and a set of G35 stockers and then a random set of expensive a very rare TA Volks. You better check it out man! Good luck!
emailed the guy about the wheels, if someone else would like to email him as well, find out what type of tires are on the wheels. If they happen to be 255x35 and 305x30 bridgestones then we have our culprit.
Not sure how you feel about the GTM kit but what about other kits that are a bit less pricy? Eirther way, FI is always more expensive because of guages [good gauge setup = $800-$1000] and then there is always the maintenance cost, transportation cost to GTM. If you can get around 330-350 going NA then I highly suggest that. The power will be more geared towards around town driving. With 500whp you definitely shouldn't be driving it daily 
Oh Happy Birthday buddy!

the GTM kit is the cheapest way to go fi on an HR. also, he don't have to ship your car down to GTM, he can buy the kit and have it installed locally (drift office or world one or whatever)
not really, it hasn't been proven yet. there was a mid 500 whp hr that blew up already. if i were doing this, then i'd just go to 400-450 to stay on the safe side till i get a built engine...

I was interested in your Volk's FS on craigs but don't want to fork out for new tires. What are the specs on the existing tires? What kind and what size? Thanks -Chris-
I'll let you know what he says.

07Magnetic Black Pearl Enthusiast CE28N Time Attacks*****wheels were stolen 10/1/07***** plz pm me if found mounted on bridgestone potenzas 255x35x19 & 305x30x19
Would be amazing if he got them back after this long though.
Update: Looks like the wheels are not them. Or at least the tires arn't. 235s up front and 255s out back, plus the tires themselves are a different brand. All good though. Thanks for the support fellas!
