not really a race car with all that sound deadening and audio equipment. but this mod will make it easier to accelerate and have a few more horses there when i need them not to mention the hks bov i've got.

Still planning out the turbo build right now. Had a few financial hiccups along the way. Life happens, but now we are back on track. Can't wait to get it boosted!

Wow, love the shots by the dilapidated building, lots of rich detail and character contrasting with your shiny GS, and love the last shot of the Vossens and the Supra brakes.

Looking good as always bro. I thought this update was going to be the Aristo swap but I guess we all have to wait just a little longer .

as for the changes coming in 2012-2013 they are performance driven. it is coming along slowly but surely. a few other priorities and goals to reach this year so the car isn't on the top of the list of things to complete. you know how it is though, it'll never be "done" lol. always changing, always evolving...

as of right now I have an offer on the head/turbo assemblies that might be too good to pass up and it is opening doors to another direction for the motor. decisions, decisions we are still going to turbo this car. it is just a matter of deciding what is best for the budget and how to make it perform well/reliably as well as pretty things up under the hood.
