      I like the chrome kidneys. Black trim just blends together with everything else and kinda looks blaahhh.


      I cant afford the $$$ it is going to cost to prep the car for the salt flats this summer, so I probably wont be able to run it this year.... The fireproof safety suit is $600 alone lol.

      I will probably be looking to hit up a few 1/4 mile strips and see what the best I can do is.

          Yes, but your M is just plain awesome, and if I could afford one, I would.. End of story!

              What kind of fire-suit do you need for the flats? I'm assuming at least a two layer SFI rated suit? If so you can get a one of Sparco's new 'Jade' suits for $265...

                Understandable, looking at the pictures of the car on my computer rather than my phone I understand. Maybe it was just the semi-hazed headlights that was throwing me off. Either way Black Kidneys or Chrome Kidneys the car is still bad ass. Ever get it on the dyno after the new turbo and 18-ish PSI?

                    Thanks man, I havent gotten back to the dyno yet, but I am hoping to do that here in the next month or so when the weather clears a bit.
