first mods i did were ruff racing rims (biggest waste of money ever!), 20% tints, 8k hids, apt fogs, paint driverside calipers blue (never got to do the passenger side lmao) pedastal spoiler, and a crappy headunit.

then figured well i need an exhaust and found a great deal on a used draxas exhaust, so on that went. Found a guy who traded my stock headers for his raceland header/s pipe....
At about 45k i got serious with this thing, decided to to an auto to manual swap.
did all the work in my garage and threw in a cheap exedy oem clutch (thing suxxx) and got a megan short throw.
Bent a rim to the point where it was losing air everyday, so i decided to powder coat the stock rims, upgraded tires to 225/45/17 contiprocontacts got a rs1 lipkit, and lowered it on eibach sportlines. :D

haha thanks eignub, thats my second favorite one. i love the one of me sitting in the passenger seat. just wish it was full shot and well.....i wasn't sitting in it lmao

WHOA WAIT... where do you live? I saw a flint mica with those exact colored rims the other day make a uturn on rt10 right off of rt 80 in ledgewood, was that you?

lol yup thats me i live in ledgewood man

thats awesome dude, great to find another member that lives around my area lol

Yea man we should organize some meets this areas beat

supercharger long gone. n/a suckssss.
got the turbo in the mail too. waiting to sell my 440 injectors and buy me some 550's then putting the turbo in/getting it tuned.
intercooler pipes were all banged up so i painted them and the intercooler flat black and my turbo blanket lime green in the mean time re sealed connections replaced a odd ends and teflon taped everythinggggg lol now i need a vac block!
will take pics soon =D

bump got vac block waiting on quick connect fittings and my high temp polypropylene vac lines then all i need is the injectors and to put in my clutch/mounts.
then on goes the turbo and on to the tuner. =]

nice progress man

What vacuum block/hose/fittings did you get? Link? Sorry thats one of the few things i need to get


Sent from Somewhere using Something.

i got a vibrant vacuum block thing looks solid as hell.
vaccum block.
fittings.
hose.

the fittings and hose are kinda more "overkill" but are quick connect and can hold 100 psi and are used for air suspension and other pneumatic applications.
you could easily get by with barbed fittings/silcone/hose clamps but they might pop off id rather just have peace of mind.
hope that help man.

Nice! I'm going with the ptuning one I believe. I'll look into those fittings too

yea my local shop had them and kept pushing them on me and i gave in lol i really like them though already hooked them up to the compressor housing, wastegate, and bov now all i need is the injectors and drop this thing in!

So you mean to tell me that you didn't send me the 440cc with s/c kit??? sweet thanks man! Should of never canceled that dispute...:no:

are you for real? i got 440's with my turbo kit. i sent you the 440's from my supercharger kit. what did you think you got? or did your neighbor tell you they were stock bahah. also if you trolled my FS thread (which im sure you did) you'd see im selling siemen pigtails not the pnp ones found in the kit.
