Updated pics of the Coupe

[Traxxas2oo2]

new mods are the corners, type r front lip, an Apex'i VAFC(im gonna be doing the hack) and the LS mesh wheels....a temporary slight drop achieved by a set of cut 99' GSR shocks/springs. Yes it has a camber kit, and I plan to lower it more but not till i get some good shocks/springs that are actually adjustable. 16" flat black Rota Slips are in the future anyways. but first I gotta finish my turbo install. Shuld be boosted in 2-3 weeks. just waiting on my front mount and IC pipes. Car still needs much work though, drivers side door has a mild dent and hood is kinda dented too, also rear bumper needs some paint, its scratched up a lil and there are the usual dings from a 10 year old car that a chick had(no offense taken i hope lol) Will be replacing eventually with a OEM style VIS CF hood. Let me know what you guys think so far, i bought the car stock and ive only had it about 4 weeks now.

my manifold and turbo to go on shortly

Tires are too big.

yeah i was trying to figure what was wrong with the car....... it looks off because of the tires.

Is that a Y8 are a Z6 just wondering?

[Doms_EJ2]

OK. Ya you are right just now getting that it was a ex. I just didn't see the sunroof.

thanks for the comments. ya the tires are a lil tall. I bought them from my friend who lives around here and the tires come with them so thats what i have for now. The tires are gone anyways so as soon as i get some tires yea ill be getting something a tad smaller.

yea around here at we call that hood position 'swap mode' lol

and yea its a Z6, sunroof is kinda glared but yea its an ex

I dig your car it is really clean, what kind of turbo are you planning on running on it. I have a 95 EX coupe im gonna be turboing. IM getting my engine done so I dont blow it up. HE HE HE Car looks cool, nice and clean. This car could be a crazt sleeper. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its one of the SS kits, T3....i know i know...i have seen both good and bad results but i figured id take my chances. At least the new manifolds they are making are reinforced and a kid around here has basically the same setup and no problems in 6 months, hes even got stock injectors with just an FMU and hes running 10 psi. so i think ill be ok with RC370's and the afc hack. plus im getting a cometic head gasket and im gonan try to play with the internal wastegate to get it down to about 6-7 psi, i think stock is 10 or 11.

both the turbo and manifold look nice though, and im not gonna beat it too bad so it should last.

heres a pic of the turbo, manifold, and downpipe chillin on my computer desk. just waiting to be put on. I owe my parents $195 for this months insurance on the 18th, and the first $200 i get after that goes for a FMIC and the next $200 goes for some piping, and then it goes on 8)

[f4113n]

damn you whore hella...r u tryin 2 make 50 to sell?

 

[hollywood217]

Change the tires....other than that...good start!

 

[Traxxas2oo2]

yea tires are next right after im boosted which should be less then a month. then once those set of tires are burned off from all the boost, hopefully i should have enough for some rotas...w00t

 

[Traxxas2oo2]

got bored yesterday and painted my valve cover....i was loking for some crinkle paint. i guess you stick it in the oven after painting and it gives it the texture of the OEM ones, but couldnt find any. got stuck with some semi-gloss high temp paint form autozone..bleh it works

just trying to clean up my engine bay a lil. dunno if most people can tell but lots of little brackets, and all kina s**t has been taken off. I like the contrast between black/chrome going on in here. will look good with my manifold

and dont say anything about my quarter panel. ill be getting a new one soon...lol

 

[cheezeonmakneez]

Man, once you get your manifold and turbo put on that shits gonna look sick.
