There not great drag cars though, so if your looking for only straight line speed you might want to reconsider. I love my car but I'v spent close to 10K on mine to make it a fun and reliable car.
holy crap! how is my baby doing? I still look at old pics and remenisce (sp?) about that car. What did you change on it? got any recent pictures? God i miss that car...

Well there were things that I had to replace like the engine wire harness and PCV system was pretty clogged so some seals are getting replaced. Right know im putting on a FFIM and bigger intercooler, Brembo BBK, and changing the oil cooler and PCV setup. I already put on a T04B, Megan racing coilovers (track series), Maft Pro (speed density+boost control), FJO wide band, Defi gauge setup, one piece aluminum drive shaft, and a lot of smaller stuff.

From the outside the the car looks exactly the same just lower. Someday I might get it painted black or dark blue but first I want to do a complete engine build on the side and have 500-600HP reliable DD. For know this turbo will easily do 400 hp. With good handling and brakes I have a pretty well rounded setup for now. I should have a camera in a week and ill e-mail you some pics.

Sorry Buugiewuugie for the highjack .
