Well my car is almost back on the road again and Ive been promising to post pics of the car for quite some time now. I am comfortable posting pics of how it sits at the moment but there is a few more things I need to do before I get it back on the road.

-I need to finish wiring the guages.
-Fill all fluids.
-Upload the initial tune from Joey @ Nautilus.
-Have Adam Shogofast tap my intercooler for IAC so I can then connect my VCVs.
-Reinstall Front bumper w/ mirko

Enjoy!

nice, as expected!

now i don't mean to beat a dead horse, or bring you down.... but that intercooler is the bottle neck. you better put meth injection on that thing for the track, or a HUGE ice box. :)

you better show up to SZ!

Tyler to be honest with you the turbo is too small for the 3L. I am only going to run 7-8lbs if the turbo doesnt max out by then. Im not looking to be the fastest thing out there I just wanted something to keep up with all these high horsepower cars coming out today. And to be even more honest I dont even race my car at all. So its basically for the feeling of the drive and for show.

I will be at SZ but this car wont be. Im driving my 00 Tred/tan to drop it off to its new owner.

Side note: do you still want those brand new fms wires I have?
 
The parking spot will have a permanent sun spot from your car sitting there for so long. Ill be there as soon as its running.

yup. i can pay you for them next week is that soon enough? i'll just pick em up at SZ. i just NEED an extra set for when mine go bad. i can't run stock wires with a MSD, it burns up the box (gotta use spiral core wires, ford ones are my fave lol)
