ok so at one point in time. i wanted to get the Vertex look. except i didnt have like 3 grand to get the proper kit.

so i went to EBAYYYYYYY!

got this from AIT. the V speed body kit. it was a front bumper and skirt kit. it fit like crap. and i regret buying it.

came in this huge box

moving a long. i tried to see how it looked on the front. since i already had the original 92 bumper off. i'd just slip it on and have a look see.

anyway i sold it. lost money on it. but oh well. u live and learn. someone from this board bought it. they made it look good on their car. but it just wasnt for me. i went 97 oem look. that was expensive to say the least.

The only thing that sucks is its very hard to change the wastegate spring without taking a bunch of Crap off. I will post pics. Because I had a 13lb spring in it and i kept hitting factory boost cut so i swapped in a 10 lb spring.

Nothing like finding some 97 parts in a time of need. I hate the others didnt like right and fit correctly, but the 97 OEM looked way mo better imo. The build is coming along quite nicely. I am also subscribed.

i been slackin on this. i'll try to make a few more posts. here are some vids i made.

here is it running. i was tryin to get the temp gauge to work with the 330ohm mod.
i also got it back from the exhaust shop after they did the 3 inch pipe to 2.5inch Y-pipe splitter.

this one is the first start with the single turbo. its pretty loud. the microphone was breaking up. and there was no muffler. open downpipe. it sounds like its missing, but its not.
