Purchased the car about a year ago from Pinellas Park. Some of you may know this car.

Future Mods:

thanks dude, glad you do. I love the e30 m tech kit.. but I been thinking about leaving the diving boards, maybe tucking them in and getting the chrome out on them while leaving it stock looking. We'll see how money is like once i finish the motor and get it running.

bumper tucks are easy and take like 20 minutes lol great "mod" for the investment

euro bumpers would be really hot on her too.

Thanks man, i can't wait my self to get her out of the shop. Its been a good 6months.

I am currently working on my website so everyone can see the whole shabang on one place rather then have tons of threads and info all over. It will be a blog site so people can subscribe, comment and ask questions.

Awesome. Thats going to be alot of fun!

[HI-BOOST]

UPDATE!

Well, alot has happened in the last few days.
I called Haltech today and they said there was nothing wrong with the ECU. The problem is that the pc needs to be loaded in DOS in order to connect with the ECU.

Tony got the FMIC and piping done and put the turbo on. The Radiator,fans and exhaust should be done this upcoming week.

The Bad: The Intake manifold's flange is not straight all the way so he will have to hack this thing and make it work. This is why i love Tony he checks everything before just putting shit on.

Mods:
Precision PT66 Turbo
Cast Single Turbo Manifold
APC Seats (cheap shit but they do the job)
Custom Intake Manifold in which we have to fix
Rear black vinyl seats

*will order a wastegate today*
Here are a few teasers. hope you guys like it
