First off, I will post pics up when I am back in town from Utah. I'll do a progression type picture thread if I can lol. I was bad at taking pics as I went along


Figured I would throw this down. Didn't really know if I should put it here or not. I have plans for the car and hopefully it falls through.

Anyways,

I bought the car in July of 2011 with 75k miles for 10k. It has a salvaged title from being in a front end accident. The car was repaired before I bought it. The repairs were decent, just needs to be more refined in lining the body panels up. I am slowly fixing this up. I don't know much about these cars other than what I have learned here and by tinkering with it.


So Far what has been done to the car is

Uni stage 2 w/HPFP w 91oct file-installed
Rev'D' DV-installed
BSH pcv Revamp stg1-installed
HPFP stg2- HPFPupgrade.com-installed

There is more but, this is all I can remember while I am out of town lol

I'll be heading back to colorado next monday(4/23), or tuesday(4/24)

And the dyno graph is way to hurtful to show lol.

The damn car never boosted over 15psi cause of tune software issues.

Ya quartz grey metallic. I love the color, but the cars needs a refresh on the paint, a new front bumper( its sitting in garage), and some small body work and panel alignment

I vote GTX2863 if you don't mind the look under the hood, and well you know what I like if you want to retain the stock look.
