Veilside Wheels

I believe thats his account name on here. Last I heard Brian hasn't sold his car yet. The price is awesome for what he has done to it imo. Parting out the car is not even on his mind.

Yep, I remember that. He was going to part it but someone just picked it up as whole. Not a fan of the body kit, but the paint jobs is really nice.

Basically the whole article is an error... Everytime Brian said "SP" the author of the article took it as "SP Engineering" when in fact it is all Sound Performance parts.

As far as the 11" wide rims... They fit because he has the HKS Drag Coilovers which are a bit smaller diameter spring than the stock springs. It allows some extra width on the rear rim.

Yeah, saw that too Eth, bothered me that the author didn't know the difference between Speed Pride and Sound, but Modified is still one of the best mags out there. Did you notice Tommy Bahn's in that issue also?



Here's a pic of Brian's whip a couple years ago with the HRE's...

would u happen to know how the HKS drag coilovers ride? i mean is it stiff and bumpy because it's made for drag racing?

Anyone been in an SC with some Tein Flex's? thats another choice im going with...

I definitly like the original look better than what it is now. I am usually opposed to big spoilers but that one actually fits the car nicely.

Unhappy Stereo and gauges

Got to love the care he took in mounting those gauges beneath the stereo... Classy.
Oh, and I don't like the seats... Tacky in my opinion. I won't be trading in my leather, electric, heated seats any time soon for rice... sorry, I mean race seats.

Otherwise, the car looks great!

yeah the wheels look out of place.

Isn't the car called "the Blue Whale"? Thought I saw that on his homepage 2 years ago.....
I was gonna buy his 1st turbo kit when he upgraded


Very very nice car, too bad it's an automatic....only thing I would chnage aside from going back the HRE's would be a 6 spd manual
