Tell me what you think of it, and what I should do next, and I'll do the same to you. Thanks. Nate

AND SIGN THE GUEST BOOK!!

This is just a showing the steering wheel, neon pedals, and seat covers. I'm hoping to luck out sooner or later and find an all black interior so I can start my custom job I have in mind. I know it's a little dirty.. and I'm definately getting rid of those stupid gray floor mats.

As of (10-31) I bought a new "CD" player..

A normal CD player... right?

I don't think so..

It's a CD, CD-R, DVD player, with a TV tuner.. so I can watch regular tv channels if I want. It also has 2 input & output cables so if I ever want to I can hook up my PS2 or XBox inside the car. I have a video of it opening and closing, but evidently you can't upload videos on here.

Just a shot of the rear of my car before the Borla was installed. It's just to bad that the GT lends has a piece missing in it.. oh well what do you expect for a used car.

This is inside the hatch-back of the speakers that I have yet to hook up. The two in the top corners are Rockford Fosgate Punch 6x9's and in the Ultimate box is.. well, I have no clue.. my dad picked it up from one of his routes that he has working for BFI a while ago and I put them in my old truck and they hit pretty good. I just can't wait to get an amp and hook them all up. Oh yeah thats right.. my dad also found a Jensen 1000w amp that was still in the box with all the instructions and wiring.. so I guess all I have to do is build two small boxes for the 6x9's and start hooking all that "junk" up together. As far as the front and rear 6x8's they all are Pioneer Type S's that came with the car.

A front shot of the PGT.. you can barely see the NX Racing seat covers through the windows. I'll eventually get some more exterior shots when the car isn't dirty. Just like the rest of the car I have a lot in store.. A high gloss black paint job w/ blue metal flake, body kit, 5 spoke 18' wheels w/ tires, you get the idea.. I want to get some Sensei sides, and rear but I don't know what kind of front I want, I'm not to fond of the Sensei front so I'm not to sure of what kind I want to get. When I get a chance I'll take some pics of my Gold Series undercar & underseat neons.

New vs. Old

Well this is an updated pic. of the engine bay, it's pretty dark so everything looks dingy and dirty. The mods. so far are the, NGK wires with the NGK Uridium IX plugs, and the custom 3" K&N style short ram-air intake, OBX Racing Headers, 2.5" JJ Resonated testpipe and the Borla Cat-back exhaust. I also have a Rawpower Stage 3 Intake Manifold (pics below) that has been bored/ported, knife edged and all that good stuff waiting to get put on, I hope I can get that put on soon, so this engine can really breathe. Then after thats done, all that's left to get for now is a 65-67mm Throttle body.
I would like to polish the IM to a chrome like finish, and have the valve covers the same way as well. With a couple blue accents mixed in.

Here's a pic. of the stock PGT IM on the left that I'm currently running, compaired to the Rawpower Stage 3 IM on the right, that is waiting to be put on. As you can see, it's definately bigger for increased air-flow.

A close up pic. of the difference between the two. Stage 3 is on the left, stock to the right.
Well now I finally got around to getting the information about some of the other stuff that's done internally to the IM.
1. VRIS #1 is removed.
2. Heavy porting to the elbow and the inner castings are removed.
3. Heavy porting around VRIS #2, with the inner castings knife edged.
4. All intake runners are heavily ported. (As you can see)
5. The fuel rail is modified, the banjo bolt has been removed in favor of a straight in barbed fitting

OBX Racing.. yeah baby
They look sweet, polised finish, the welds look great. A+ in my opinion


OBX Headers attached to the JJ Test Pipe

A look inside the Resonated JJ TP, from this view it is where the Borla Cat-back will bolt on. Pretty sweet lookin huh?

Well I finished installing the headers, and TP.. and wow, what a difference. At idle the car is no louder than it was before with just the Borla Cat-back, but once she's in the throttle.. mmmmmhmmm.. It's really cool once the #2 VRIS kicks in, the headers/tp/borla combo make a slight hiss, almost just like a turbo charger spooling up.. and trust me there are no leaks.. checked, checked, and re-checked. The exhaust tones are nice, and smooth it sounds great at any rpm.. not un-godly loud like some of the modded. 4 cylinders, nore is it really quiet, just loud enough to know it's modified.. just not to what extent.

For the future plans, I want to get a 255 Walbro fuel pump, some 400+cc injectors or somewhere around that size, and of course make it into a.. Intercooled, Turbocharged 2.5L V6 with the Garret T3/T4 hybrid turbo, or a Supercharged GT with either the M45,62, or 90.. All have their up's and downs. For starters, I'd just want to get my feet wet with about 6psi which puts out around 260hp at the wheels, after tuning according to the dyno's of some of the other probe owners who have already done these set-ups. Eventually putting out 12+psi of boost aided by a stand alone FMU (fuel management unit)probably 12:1 ratio, getting upwards of 350+hp at the wheels, and after thats all done get a polished radiator shroud with a color printed dyno result of it imbeded into it.. and probably some more loose ends that I forgot to add in.

Just a side shot of the engine bay, I hope to get the outside of the IM polished soon to add a little bling to the engine.
