Hi all,

Wanted to make a new thread for my car since its been repainted and is lookin better then ever!

Few things to list up about the hardware :P

Arp studs
oem HG
poly urathane motor bushings

Cooling:
Huge Ass godspeed 100% aluminum raditor
After market 13 row oilcooler

Turbo setup:
666 adapter
Holset HX35 @ 22psi
Vems
440cc injector
Electronic boost control
FMIC dont remember the specs but 2.75" thick and fits perfectly behind front grill

Driveline:

3.25 LSD
poly urathane gearbox bushings

Wheels:

Loads of other stuff.. If curious just ask :P

Fresh paint, oem brilliant rot(red). Orginal color on the car didnt come with clearcot but I wanted to add clearcoat over it and thats a decision I dont regret :) On the car is orginal AC Schnitzer kit.. came from the factory like this.. must say that I really really love the kit with this color.. seen a few black ones and it doesnt show its potential.

I bought new external oem trim on it $$$$$ and repainted the roof lists and the lists around the windows. Also had the windows tinted @ 35%


Sorry that I couldnt find some hot chick to pose with my car soo only regular pics will have to do for now :)

Hope you like it!

No, the paint is good both on the bonnet and front inner fender, where it is the closest.. only thing that was hurt was some rubber ring that goes around the hole where the ABS sensor goes trough :) its melted and pretty deformed but the paint around it is fine

I see, dont think it would hurt to get some heat insulation from i.e dynamat and put around the area that seems to be most vulnerable to head from the hotside of the turbo and downpipe. It's on the to do list when I repaint the engine bay next winter

nope.. ET 35 and the hub center is larger the orginal, using 8mm spacer @ rear and 23mm spacer at front to clear the brembo calipers and using hub center rings
