Just an update.. Roommate is moving out, so I get the garage at the end of the month!!!! YAY!!!!

But here's what I've got for it already:
50 trim
HKS BOV
Fidanza flywheel/ Act2600 clutch
Steel radiator
Black leather
FMIC
3"Stainless steal Exhaust
Gm maft or Evo Maf
Aeromotive FPR
Walbro 255
Turbo timer
Boost controller
Gauges

I've got some Hks 272/272 cams ordered

Then all I need for her to get running is some injectors (most likely 950 to run E85) and to go through the engine (get some maintenence)

Eventually get a tubular manifold for it.

These are the wheels I've been considering:

I think you'll be happy with the 3065 once you finally get it. My buddy has it on his GS-T. We raced from about a 30mph roll, and at only 13psi on the 3065, he still pulled away from me at 21psi on the E316G.

^Yuh, my friend has one too. Hits hard and fast.

Got a MBC for it. Now just need some time to start ripping everything apart. I forgot about the ABS. So going to have to swap that out and get a 4 bolt in there too

Well.. the cams fell through.

I found a DNP manifold used for a good price, just worried about the condition if there's any cracks/ re-welds

I figured if I can get some lowering springs, I can get the 5zigens to fit

They're 17x9 :P lol w/ 255 wides

Holy shit, 255s will make that beast look like a monster.

kittay · 01-15-2008, 07:53 PM

lol.. stick out just a bit

15 more days til I get the garage!!!
Here's what the car looks like right now:

Yeah I'd go with that DNP manifold. They're supposed to be pretty damn hardcore. I talked to a guy on tuners that said that hes been running his for 5 years straight now with no problems.

Oh yuh, they're great manifolds.. Just my worry is with any tubular, having cracks or crappy re-welds. That's the main issue.
The guy is selling it for a good price and claims there is only 800 miles on it. But he ignored answering my question about cracks/ re-welds. He's supposedly sending me some upclose/ detail pics though.

Arg.. I want to spend all this money and I'm getting close to quitting and not working for a year to finish school.

When they're dirty.. but driving in them, it's just so perfect and comfy!

You're crazy. I am going to send my current love interest to you for a week, show her the ways ok?

Nah, I'm just kidding. She can drive manual though, which I think is pretty hot.
