akeizm Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 This z your getting sounds interesting, you got any pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b__sosick Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 of course i have pictures. :] thanks for your show of interest... for some reason it's been accused of being "ricey" around here, but I think it's beautiful (minus a few spots in the paint). the body is basically one in a million, and i've never seen one like it. leather recaro racing seats with harnesses, and the driver's seat is like...6 way adjustable or something. it has plenty of buttons to play with. it's on the stock turbo right now (that won't last long), with few engine upgrades. I plan on adding a front mount of course, upgrading the turbo (haven't decided on what type/trim yet), adding an SDS engine management system (in the distant, distant future $$$) and maybe a few stereo upgrades (it has none currently) http://photobucket.com/albums/y39/jaxcarshow05/mycars/ for the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b__sosick Posted September 26, 2005 Author Share Posted September 26, 2005 oh yeah, the previous owner also added a digi boost gauge (to compliment the digi tach/speedo etc) and a turbo xs type 1 blow off valve. he also added ground control 4 way adjustables in the rear! they are brand new, and let me tell you, the car handles like it's on RAILS. new brake rotors, pads, and new tires in the rear. I'm thinking about upgrading to a power steering system, but not sure if I care enough for it... suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Yep, saw the car Friday up in Jax. It has a lot of potential. I like the Ferrari look. It is definately different. Good luck w/ the project!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akeizm Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Not a great fan of the rear lights but overall it looks nice. And look at it this way, who cares what other people say its your car and you build it like you want it (prolly herd it a million times heh).

80LS1T Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I've never seen that kit before? Is it custom kit or did the previous owner build it? That body work could deffinetly use some attention. Are you sure you want to get into a car that needs that much body work? Worst part is that it probably wasnt done right so you'll have to do it all over again. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b__sosick Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 to tell the absolute truth, I'm not that concerned with how it looks. I'm realy into performance, and would much rather dump money into brakes, engine, and suspension than making her look pretty. :] and thanks akeizm for your comment :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
