I bought her the 21st of September 2007, with 86,785KM on her. This is basically the intent of what I want Red to look like.

I have made several upgrades already, including a custom Cold Air Intake system, as well as light-weight pulleys on the Crankm, the Idler and the Alternator. NGK Platinum stock replacement plugs; Taylor ThunderVolt 8.5mm wires; and Accel Coil Packs.

Dyno'd result is 252.7whp and 296.3lbs/ft. torque. (As soon as I can, I will upload the dyno sheet). This is before the Supercharger...see page 3 for the new (to me) Eaton Generation V M90!!!

A couple of other upgrades made today. I went down to Princess Auto and picked up a set of RedLine Xenon Hyper White 9007 Headlight bulbs rated at 80/100W; and a twin pack of GE SuperBlue 893 fog lamp bulbs. At a total cost of $17.34CDN. Can't wait to see what they will look like tonight.

I will take some pics tonight of the car and post ASAP.

oh, i forgot to mention- get rid of those accel coil packs! i used to have those, i actually had two sets in a row, the first time one side on two packs went bad, screwed up my ignition module too. then i bought another set, and about 5000 miles later another side of one of the backs went bad on one of those. they suck! if you ever have your service engine light go on and car starts chuggin, your missing on cyl. most likely from one of those packs goin bad.
I think the red MSD packs like i had to go get would look hot on your red color!

wow man! you must have the perfect mods to get almost 260 out of bolt ons! or is that with nos too? either way, makes me want to get a dyno too! i think ill dothe crank pulley, and tips on installing that?

for the gauges, trace out the old ring on your old vents on a peice of 1/4 plywood or louan (sp) cut a hole in the center witha 2" holesaw, and wrap in naugahide fake leather, (its stetchy, can find it in big fabric stores) and staple it back, the leather will make it a pressure fit into the dash hole. then drill a hole into the black plastic tube that the heat runs through to run your lines down behind the dash and out the grommet under the drivers side dash!
