Right now there is a ram air intake, I don't know what brand. There are no markings on it anywhere.


Short throw shifter... again no idea what brand


Hid lights this I actually installed from HIDnation.com


For the future I'm looking at pistons, rods, crank, cams... basically do the internals then comfortably put a turbo kit on it

That's crazy low mileage. Probably a swapped out cluster.

You don't need a new crank for boost.

I like the white, but read my signature.

It was from a Chevy dealership... there would be a lawsuit if it was.


Ps sometime in the near future that gap will shrink so you'll be able to smile a little bit more lol

Naw, not an excuse. No excuses. I'm slammed, and I live in a neighborhood where we don't have sidewalks, so the driveways themselves are like curbs. You have to know how to drive. I don't use ramps or anything, just straight up angle, and I back in, which is more legit. As long as you hit tire first and not body, anything can get over anything without a single scrape.

Very true, fun and not to mention if your anything like me, you sit and ponder too much and then before you know it a year has passed and you havent done anything (understood that research has to be done) but thats what i did w/my second car, took me yr and a half to start.
