Talking It has begun.....New Project Teaser

Hey err'body, I had a few people pm'ing me wondering what ive been up to with my newest purchase, so here is the deal. I sold my prior Garnet SC to Dave from Headgames, and picked up Workaholics SC. He was selling his 93SC with the CCW's, FLEX, and all STOCK other than that. I saw this car for sale, went and looked at it, fell in love, and snatched it off of Greg for a very fair price. It was in near flawless condition, but was waaay to low for what I was going to be doing. So I made a few changes here and there, but kept the cars overall aesthetic.

The mods are simple, and I have been working on the car every morning and evening, even in this nasty heat we are having in the NE My main goal with the car is for it to be a serious street car; all options, drag radials, 700+ whp, and mid 10sec passes. Heres the basics of what the car has, and some pics:


Body/Exterior
OEM Alpine Silver Paint
97 Sides and Front
AC Rear
97 Tails
Shaved Antenna and Emblems

Interior(kept it real simple)
Pristine Black Leather
Wideband
Supra 6spd ****
Custom Shift Boot
Eclipse Headunit

Wheels/Suspension
18x11, 18x10 CCW Classics
295/35/18 BFG Raidals

Engine+ Power Adder(s)
Headgasket/Headstud Stock Longblock(for now)
FULL-RACE Prototype T4 Exhaust Manifold
(2) Tial 44mm Gates
FR Spec H/O 67mm
Precision Intercooler
Tial BOV
Nitrous Express Single Fogger
AEM EMS w/ IAT & 5 bar Map
(2) Walbros, 780cc Injectors
Our Custom Intake Manifold w/ 5in plenum
90mm Accufab tbody
PWR Radiator w/ Fal Fans
FSM 4in Downpipe
FSM 4in Midpipe/Exhaust
HKS Camgears
97-98 Supra Motor Mounts
Everthing Powder Coated, painted, or blasted.

Driveline
14k mile 6spd Getrag

Brakes

----We are finsihing the Intake up, and then will be bolting up both manifolds and getting it on the road. The engine bay is going to be looking serious, so stay tuned!---

Nah, I just raised it up, lol. Greg was all about having it rocked to the ground and some stretch on the tires. Im on the opposite kick, having that kind of power is worthless with a cambered out car and stretched tires. Dangerous is what it is.

I would however, trade my FLEX for SUPER STREETS. I like em better, car feels more like a lexus
