Default HKS Twin Turbo pics + photoshoot pics

Hey guys.. Some of you might already know but for those who don't I recently relocated from Florida to North Jersey. The car was left behind to finally install the turbo kit. Due to work I was unable to pick up the car in person so I haven't seen it yet(I'm flying down next week to finally see her) I was waiting on pictures from a recent photoshoot that was conducted at Grip Industries to all come in so I could share them with you. I'm dying to see her in person.

I want to really thank Rob and Pete at Grip Industries in Melbourne for taking such good care of my car. I cut back on the build a little cuz I am just tired of dumping so much money into a car I drive so little so I basically just swapped the twins and a few other small things for this portion of the build so I could just get her back quickly and enjoy her. Grip as always took really good care of me and made her look exactly how I dreamed it up when I 1st bought this HKS tt kit almost a year ago to date. I hope to go back down in Mid to late April so I can tune her before I bring her up. Right now I'm expecting roughly between 450-500 rwhp, 500rwhp is the short term goal. Long term 600rwhp will be my goal but I honestly think I'll be more than happy with 500rwhp from a weekend car...


Mods added..

HKS 2835 Ball Bearing Twin Turbo Kit.
Tial Q series BOV
TurboSmart super racing series FPR
Blitz Access ECU

Chrome and Paint done as you could always expect from me plus we cleaned up the wiring..




I also added some of the pics from the shoot since I have never had anyone shoot the car since its intial makeover in July of 2007.

Everything is really blue, but not overdone at all. There seems to be nothing stock on this car. Nice work!
