    Convenient for what? Those times that the hood might fly open? Oh wait, they can't with our reverse hoods.

        you asked for opinions, so I gave an honest one. I'm not going to hang off your sack just because it has a turbo ;)

            Those wheels aren't as ghetto as they look. They're ATS, a pretty classic German manufacturer, and they are SUPER lightweight.

            Overall, I do like your old car a little better, but that turbo should be nice! :)

              we talked about putting 24# injectors and running 9psi...what do you think?
              does the m30 afm really even give that much of a gain?
              What turbo manifold are you using?

              Of course the M30 AFM will give you some gains, with a turbo car it's all about air flow.

                yes they are VERY lightweight....12-13 pounds. I think Josh bought them from todd at TCD.

                  I like it with the dark grey and the black wheel. I know nothing about turbos, so I'll leave that to others - but it looks really cool.

                  I have a pair of used H&R sport coupe rear springs #50406 that I pulled off my 'vert and replaced with the proper 'vert H&R sports. I was going to eBay them for around $50. If you want them you can have them at that price. I would think they would drop your car more than the Eibachs. I'm in Columbus so we could meet somewhere and you wouldn't have to pay for any shipping.

                      Wheels look like they have a perfect offset!

                          tuck them bumper then the car would look real good.
                          but overall..i like it...
                          is the car stroked and turbo'ed? or did he just slap a turbo?

                            Hoodpins are so you can lock the hood shut. My dad's Charger had them because he actually had stuff from his engine stolen.
                            Ma che cazzo state dicendo? :|

                              What is stopping anybody from unhooking them?

                                Was going to say the same thing.



                                Is the hood actually composite and removable? Hood pins on a factory hood are a bit ghetto, but hood pins on certain lightweight hoods are a necessity.


                                Keep it slideways!!
