"Project Psycho" is moving along smoothly.

Havnt been by here in a while. Been too busy working on the car, that has been dubbed project psycho if you didnt notice. Got some prgress pics to see what everyone thinks so far. This is after modding stage 1. Should be getting my new rims and tires along with headers, exhaust and fuel injectors.

After I get all my incomming stuff done and on my next few steps are going to be RKSport pro wing, RKSport carbon fiber bezel (so I can get that damn full trunk light crap off of there) altezza carbon fiber tail lights, tint (I always forget the tint :lol: ) going to swap out the fiber glass front bumper for the Pure urathane bumper, and I was thinking of some kind of subtle side graphic to catch the eye but not burn them :lol2:

I think that will do it for my exterior. As for inside, I still havnt figured out what all Im going to do in there but I know its going to end up a butt load of red and carbon fiber. :naughty:

why are you putting bigger injectors on it? Unless your making a good 20+ more HP than stock they wont do anything for you. Prolly just make you run very rich.

Holy small wheels batman.. we are 4X4'n it up now.. new wheels and drop = Hawt.. mm 18's would tuck very nice in those wheel wells.

I like that front end.

just my OPINION but those rims need to go

My rims and tires should be here by the end of the week.

rock on

stole the words right outta my mouth

badass front end... it's almost like it's grinning at me.... But I have to agree with the wheels too. Show us pics once you get em in this should be interesting.

I have the carbon altezzas too. They're not too bad. look good with red, not very "loud" per se but gives it a nice clean look.

Thats pretty much the look I want..."clean" I dont want a shopping cart wing and a huge fart cannon sticking out the back with some craptastic graphics that span all around the car.

Im going to keep everything pretty much red, black and carbon fiber. Im not a big fan of chrome or anything shiny on a car really. If it wasnt for the fact that the front bumpers mesh set it off so nicely I would have kept it black but it just look way too bleak durring the mock up so I finalized it in chrome.

I want my car to end up with a look that if you pulled up next to it you would think 'hmm that a sweet looking car' but from a distance it would be just any other car.

Cause when everything is bought installed and tuned I want to make all my statements on the track and not with how my car looks. :thumbsup:

Ill be sure to upload some new pics after tires and wheels.

where is the exhaust. I hope its just the pic and its not under the bumper that could leak into the car or get hot and burn the kit.

nice. I never really was a fan of the new gen front end though. but it looks good.

I wasnt too fond of the front end myself. Its a little too pointy for lack of a better word for my taste but the over all lines and flow of the car is what caught my eye when I bought it.

The one thing I didnt like and am still not all happy about is the way the back doors make up the portion of the wheel well. It might look better to me after I even out the ass end a bit.

nice car still looks like it needs to go lower... jmo..

BTW what are those? 15's 16's 17's? 18's? what's the drop on that?

still looks like you got just a tiny bit of distance between the well and the wheel. but the overall look is nice.

17's on 215/45 tires. Yeah, there is still a big gap from well to wheel. I plan on dropping it either when I do the suspension or after I get my new front bumper in july. Right now though my stock suspension is way too damn bouncy for my front end only being 3 1/2 inches off the ground.

Fiberglass aint cheap. :lol:

damn right it's not cheap. and it's a pain in the ass. I usually have a pro do it. I just am not that good with fiberglass. Anything else you gonna do to the car?

Better question would be what am I not doing to the car. :lol:

Off the top of my head....exhaust, turbo, racing seats, suspension, tint, custom interior, carbon fiber trunk, carbon fiber fenders, new front bumper (going urethane), repainting the whole car, custom (Joker) graphics and pretty much just a butt load of carbon fiber.

Im a sucker for the red/carbon fiber combination.

my gods if I had a money tree like you did I'd prolly be doing some of my own things too. I just put the finishing touches on my IDI project.

painted a junkyarded HIGH OUTPUT 16v QUAD 4 Dohc cover metallic red and put that on with much frustration. but it went on. and it looks pretty good. Engine bay needs more red though. that's my color.

I dont have a money tree. Actually Im just a run of the mill carpanter with a wife and a 6 year old son living pay check to pay check. I just came up with a great idea one day. I took one of those big water jugs used in the office style water coolers and everyday if I have any spare change or a few dollars here and there from side work I put it in the jug. Everything I want or need for the car I get a good balanced price range for each perticular item. When the jug reaches a point that I can either get one part or in some cases multiple parts I empty the jug cash in the change and get the part or parts.

To me its the best way to save up for big buys without your brain saying 'holy crap I cant believe Im going to spend all this money on this part. This way all you are doing brain wise and wallet wise is spending spare change that would just get wasted on crap anyways.

Thats the way I look at it anyways. :lol2:

My problem is I do all my own work. Engine, body work the whole 9 yards. For most people thats a cool thing but not for me. I get frustrated too quickly. I can go from 0 to pissed off in 3.2 seconds. So working with that fiberglass kicked my ass.

yeah considering I had to spray paint onto a paintbrush and gently paint over the scars and chips which I incurred because of my damn brake line... >.> boy I was pissed but it was well worth it. I should take a picture.

just let me dress up the engine a little more. Heading to reno maybe next week to look for a TB and a better Intake manifold.
