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.

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.

 

is this the one that had the fake intercooler in it cause u were building a turbo kit for it but didnt install it yet...??

ok lets see if this works.
