yea, i had a supra guy ask me to do an 80 roll because he cant get his launch control working. I refused due to the fact he has 670whp at 18 lb of boost with a t76 turbo! He can easily boost 30lb. Your cars super clean bro, i cant wait to do all the exterior mods. Im droping my ride going with the dust black 5 spoke 17in motegi rims and blacking out my tails (even more) with 5% tint. Simple and sexy. A guy wants to sell me a 50 trim turbonetics turbo for like 200 bucks so i might be selling the 16g.

how do you like the evo front mount? im looking at getting a new fmic with as short route as possible. thats what you have right? i might be going with the evo ic, it looks pretty cool.

its kind of a pain in the ass honestly. I picked it up for 80 bucks from my good friend so i cant really complain. turbo side its not a problem because i have a custom pipe from my j pipe to intercooler. Intake side i have a 45* coupler then strait pipe going down about 2 + feet then another 45*angle coupler, small 4" section of pipe then a 90* coupler and that matches up pretty well. Its just a little hard because of the angle of the in and out on the intercooler. I would say if you get a good deal go for it otherwise ebay is the way. A positive with the evo fmic is you get to keep your fogs.

well keeping the foglights sounds nice. when i got my car there was already an fmic in it, and the foglights were taken out because the piping would get in the way. so i bought foglights and now i need better piping or a new fmic. i have the greddy 18r, and the outlet comes out of the front of the i/c, runs behind the bumper and under the passenger headlight, and then up through the stock uic hole and to the t/b. not very good flow.

my engine is always super hot after driving or a hard run, and the ic pipes are usually very hot. but i cant really feel any difference in power from the 1st pull to the last.

I can beat an evo, Most evos walk sti's so do you really think its not possible?

ill run your bike from a dig or the car whichever youd like
