Project boost is now being set aside at least for this year. Some other priorities have come into my life so it is time to re-prioritize.

However on a good note, the car has been sponsored by BagYard Air Ride out of Austria, and Accu Air out of California. So the car will be undergoing a custom air bag and management installation in the months to come. I will keep everyone posted on that as the parts come in.
I am also going with another turbo as well. GT35R is out.

Ok, so here are some updated pictures I took this weekend. The car will be undergoing some R&R here in the next month or two. Need to fix a crack in the bumper as well as get a sideskirt resprayed. I should also be doing the air ride install as soon as all the parts come in. I am super excited. Last look at what she looks like now.

Andy Stacy was doing some photoshoots at the Import Alliance Meet this past weekend and I was chosen to be one of those cars. Pretty cool. The pictures came out flawless and definitely gave me some motivation for my picture taking skills!

By far my all time favorite pictures of my car hands down! Just wish I was already bagged!
