After a lot of persuasion, I have decided to add my car to CarDomain. You can see more of my car and others in my car club by visiting www.inlineperformance.org Please tell me what you think... and I thank you in advance for the comments and ratings!
I went to a local car show 09/12/09 and took home a trophy. This is the second award I have won since I have started building this car. I hope it won't be the last, either.
I originally bought this car in very poor shape... It had Almond Refrigerator paint, a pop-riveted core support, the interior was enough to make you throw up, and it needed more work than what I originally paid for it. Here is one of the first photos of after I finished the paint and body work.
I first traded the bent rims for some fat fives to get me by and went for a clean look. I had really no interior and just got the frame straightened at work and had a friend of mine paint it with dump truck enamel.
I got my old carbon fiber hood back for $100 and paid to have it re-cleared at work. Then I got the APC (I know, really cool) Amber corner lenses and TYC (eBay) Reverse Si Tail Lights. After that I got exaust and started working on the motor!
After building the motor and doing the necessary work to boost the swap, I made it just in time to enter Hot Import Nights in Orlando July 2007. It took me 9 months to go from damn near totalled to the pic shown above... then I went into a stand still for a while.
The above pic s the money shot. I have a B18B with a GS-R Tranny. I pieced together the DRAG Turbo Kit and made 301.4 WHP at 14psi. I am currently running a hair over 19 psi and am in the middle of building another motor to put in this car.
I CAN'T WAIT!!! I have decided to build a whole new higher performance setup for my daily driven EG. The following pages, from 4 and on are for the new swap. I have been sacrificing, bartering, and working long hours at work for the past few years and I am so anxious to see the results....
I am on the new motor now. So far as of 11/18/09 I am laying down 420 wheel horsepower and 323 foot pounds of torque on 16 psi. I am adding new things after the swap after page 9.
