Page one is all about the car, my motto, and my philosophy about cars. If you don't want to read all the way through, there's a compiled mod list at the bottom.
Page two is more general information that we all need to know, feel free to message me if you see any mistakes. There is a lot of good information here.
Page three is basically random pics of all my toys.
Page four will be random photos and completely random stuff found online. And the puppies.
My motto, "Keep it clean. No Rice, Just Nice." Just to clear it up, rice= braking the "Tuner Ten Commandments". Breaking these commandments makes us all look bad.
The commandments are as follows:
1. Thou shalt not place an overly large rear downforce wing on a front wheel drive car. i.e. triple decker aluminum wings are always a no no.
2. Thou shalt not ever buy walmart seat covers, even if you think the flames are cool (they're not), and they don't give you the right to race every vehicle on the road. Especially the soccer mom in the minivan, that's not bragging rights.
3. Thou shalt not put more than one color of neon lighting on the same car at the same time. And don't start thinking it's ok to put red plug wires, yellow wire loom, and a blue valve cover in the same engine compartment.
4. Thou shalt not put vinyl graphics on a stock car. And under no circumstances are Wal-Mart or Autozone "off the shelf" graphics ok.
5. Thou shalt not drive around for two years with an unpainted body kit. Prime the whole car if you have too.
6. Thou shalt not drive with more than one style wheel on the car (unless you're at the drag strip or happened to get a flat tire)
7. Thou shalt not place stickers on a car of products not installed on that car, and stickers, no matter how cool you think they are, do not add horsepower.
8. Thou shalt not strip the interior out of a street car in an attempt to go faster, your 16 second car won't notice if you lose the 50 pounds of passenger and rear seats.
9. Thou shalt not make crazy horsepower claims from an un-built car. Your intake and exhaust didn't take your single cam to 200 horsepower. And nitrous is for built engines, don't spray your single cam with a 100 shot, besides, it still won't put you over 200 hp!
10. Thou shalt not ever claim to be the fastest around, remember, there's always somebody faster; whether you know/like it or not.
Bye Bye single cam. After building and turbo-ing (think that's a word) a single cam, just couldn't get enough out of it to satisfy me, so out it goes. By the way, look at my buddy Pete's hoody, the front says "Feeling a little slow?", and the back says "Get your GED." His shop was named GED (Georgetown Engine Dynamics). BTW, put down 150 fwhp on a mean dyno when turboed, no nitrous, so let's not claim to but down 150 hp from an all motor, non-built single-cam, refer to the commandments.
here's a front top view. Yeah, yeah, fronts not painted yet. Can't decide if I want to repaint the whole car, or just paint the front to match the rest. Aerogear hood by the way. "Type M" bumper, for those that don't know, that means knock off.
Love the factory leathers with harnesses. It's the only way to go. Unless you don't want leather. . . . Or if you prefer racing seats. Any way, I like it. Notice the interior is all black and white. Keep the flash outside the car, that way maybe i'll get to keep my subs, and all my electronics for myself. Damn thieves.
view down the side. rear has been flared out, and yeah, it's all molded in. the taillights and rear garnish are getting molded in too, just haven't gotten there yet, oh yeah, and the antenna was shaved.
through windshield view. Notice the pillar pods (driver and passenger side)and the rear lca's, still need to install the rear lower tie bar. btw, also has upper strut bars front and rear, front and rear lower tie bars, and an h-brace in the front. gotta love it.
Decided on the F1 fenders. they're alright. I managed to crack the passenger side fender, something about hitting it with a hammer. That was a good day!
rear view, just need to tighty it up. custom made taillights, j's design rear garnish, still need to mold in the lights and the garnish, but it's gettin there.
here's the exhaust tip, Tanabe exhaust, i just love the way it sounds. Not too loud, just a good sound, sounds almost stock at idle, just a little rumble while cruising, but once you get into it, she screams.hasport mounts, ofcourse.
A couple random pictures. Love that bumper though.F1 fenders, 17" Motegi wheels, amber corners. crap tires that need replaced. you know how we roll.
I don't know, figured i'd throw these in there. Triple pod full pillar replacement with all digital guages by cyberdyne (air/fuel, oil pressure, and voltage), and pass. side triple pod (yet to be filled) btw the ecu is a p28 rechipped with an IAB modular chip with a gsr performance program.still need the guages for the passenger side, but it's there. driver's vent has a boost guage(autometer carbon fiber)and the center vents have an EQ all fiberglassed in.
Here's my amps, that eventually will end up back in the trunk again. the top one is 2400 watts for the subs. and the bottom one is a 4 channel for my components. They're currently screwed to the wall in my living room, girlfriend is really understanding.
ohhh, yeah, this goes in too. Unless you want to buy it first. Zex wet kit, 75 shot, remote bottle opener, purge kit. Hopefully it won't go up in smoke. We'll see.
and a color sample. Color didn't really turn out right in the picture, but there's like 15 or so different pearls in it. Including orange, bronze, copper, green, purple, red, maroon, brown, etc.
Look at that sexy beast. Doesn't she look like she just wants to be drove hard. Anyway, I'll try to get the bumper painted and put on within about a week. Also has cross-drilled rotors front and rear.
Not sure why it looks like the front doesn't match. . . oh yeah. . . it doesn't. I tried a new color paint on the front end to see if I like it. Not sure, can't decide whether to paint the front to match the back, or paint the back to match the front. . . Or do something completely different. BTW, it's NOT chameleon paint, with chameleon you get 3-5 colors, mine is just a whole metric shit ton of pearl. Walk around it in the sun light and you can count about 15 or so colors including, orange, copper, bronze, maroon, purple, light green, dark green, black, red, brown, lime green, dark purple, etc, etc.
By the way, the rear garnish is painted the same color as the front of the car, but since the car changes colors in different light, it looks like it matches.
Well, ready for the new motor setup. Put a fresh coat of satin black paint in the engine compartment to keep everything looking clean.

So there you have. dropped in a turbo ready b16. Tubular stainless manifold. T3/T4 turbo, front mount, etc, etc. Currently leving the boost down at about 8 psi, hopefully get in on the dyno within a week or so. I plan on turning the boost up to around 15 psi for daily driving once i get it tuned and make sure it not leaning out.

and I mounted the manual boost controller in place of the lighter in the console. , and a stage 2 excedy clutch kit. Has ARP head studs, Painted the strut bar satin black, along with the tow hooks, rear strut bar, lower tie bars, and H-brace. Has tanabe super hyper medallion exhaust, high flow cat, 2.5 inch down-pipe, etc, etc, etc.
