and for the people that haven't seen the interfooler yet... http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/vv179/03zoomzoom/intercooler.jpg

wow, all kinds of input. ha ha ha. yeah, I've heard the ricer thing half a million times. Most of the rice is from old projects, back when I didn't really have the $$ to get worthwhile parts. The Byers stuff is because I worked there when I got the car. I got the car for cheep, brand new and they still take good care of me when I need parts (msrp $18,000 loan=$10,500, I'll give them a little advertisement). Since I work at Germain Cadillac, they give me a hard time (Germain vs Byers). and yes the interfooler, I found a Godspeed intercooler for $50. There was no way I was going to pass on that deal. I wanted to see how it would fit and have just never gotten around to taking it off. Thanks for the welcome though. seems like a fun crowd.

It's a fun little car. The MSP's were nice till they start breaking. I've been working on upgrading all the suspension and next is towards the motor. Not much I can do till I go turbo.

these were the red euro tails. http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/vv179/03zoomzoom/0317090651.jpg

the factory lights sucked balls, and I got tired of the red eruo lights after 4 yrs. I couldn't pass on a set of tails for $50. At least they don't have the chrome background.

yeah, yeah, yeah. i hear ya.

well, that makes me special. you remember me. ha ha ha. yep, the little blue jap car is a work in progress. not to mention my daily driver. My projects normally end up very long and drawn out.

ok lets see if this works. http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/vv179/03zoomzoom/0911091946.jpg http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/vv179/03zoomzoom/0317090651a.jpg http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/vv179/03zoomzoom/1014091513a.jpg http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/vv179/03zoomzoom/1016091655.jpg

ha ha ha. I'll take ya around a corner but, not in a straight line.

Thanks for the "kind" words.

ha ha ha. nice. I don't have access to photobucket here at work. I'll get something set up tonight.
