Default Post-Paint Progress (Moar Pics on Pg2)

A Post by Kohinoor made me realize I only posted these pics before. . .Woops.
Added more pics to Page 2

A couple people have found pics of my car, guessing under garage, and seem to like it, despite it still needing some changes.
Among these Changes: Fogs, Canards, Camber Correction Kit(passenger side is not negative enough and the rear quarter is altered atm), and an exhaust extension.

Anyways, here's some pics that hopefully hide some of the negatives. The gaps on the rear quarters will decrease once I get the negative camber kit.




It's still a work in progess...I was gonna wait till I had it closer to done, and a video of it on the dyno or doing a pull, but that might not be for a while.

It is a GT4067 with "680cc" injectors, that don't seem to be quite that, but they still are fine on duty, so no worries atm. Just running 15lbs, trying to get a laptop to get a decent base tune, then plan on hitting a dyno and doing 18-19 while adjusting the Power FC's cell range.

Plz go a LITTLE easy on me.

The most recent I have is from a test fitting:

but it doesn't really show anything.
I'll get some eventually. . .

Biggu, Jon had mentioned you to me as well. I haven't seen Tyler in forever. Can't wait for his project to get done...sooo sik.

Gspec, this whole car has been built on a budget. The "chinamanifold" is what i'm using.

Masagsxr, I bought the wheels from jdmjzz30 from here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/whe...ngsta-lip.html
The rears are 285/30s and the fronts are 245/40 iirc. The rears are cambered to about 5degrees.

ThX for the comments guys. I'm suprised that so far most people are liking it. Maybe it's because I didn't post the interior, lol.

OMG...you keep me inspired. I wanted to sell my car and do other things but after seeing your car last month I have decided to keep it and finish it. Good Job!
