new rims, newly repainted Valve cover and strut bar. Car is sick, I have no words to describe the power and the torgue. Drove it today for the first time and all I can say - OMG.... the acceleration is out of this world, 380HP is no joke...

this is today:




next step - smoked headlights go back in, Mcoupe rear diff cover, new wheel bearings, new rear bushings and... Digital Motec dash cluster

Mother of freaking god. Looks a billion times better with the BBS rims. Not to mention that engine bay looks amazing.

You need some white rims, like in ur sig.

The BBS are nice, I just think the white rims are better. Preserves the DTM look more.

truly amazing car, I'd love to come see it, I"m around Morristown!

Valve cover looks alot better now.

Check book modding isn't much fun tho.

We need videos now. If he wanted to go white rims route again he could just get the centers of his new wheels powdercoated white. You need to take off that plate though Vlad... or get a new one.

Damn. I fuckin love that car. Always have. I wish I was fortunate enough to be able to have something like that and keep it in shape. VERY nice car Vlad.

How much did you pay Rui to install it for ya?

How much did you pay Rui to install it for ya?

$2500, he had to cut all the wiring since this was right hand drive engine harness

his work is awesome, conversion looks factory like, he cleans the engine bay nicely, tucking away anything that you don't need to see, we didn't paint my engine bay 'cause it was ok, but on Mike's car it looks even better and cleaner, check it out

[OOMPH!]

Car looks F'ing sick Vlad!
