Sickest GS400 ever? (Pics) Did I miss anything?
The roll cage, engine and transmission are complete. (Minus the turbo and nitrous unfortunately.)
The tuner would rather work around the stereo than have the stero guy work around him.http://www.YourRxBiz.com/GS/index.htm
Thus I'm ordering the following equipment monday-tuesday unless anyone has any better ideas (Go crazy!) (The turbo and nitrous are already bought, the items below I can still change around and or add to.) Let me know what I missed!
Turbo (already bought)
Nitrous (already bought)
Lowenhart 20" LD1's on Pirelli P Zero Nero's. 245 35 (I love these rims)
Engine, Tranny (already installed)
Apexi AVC-r
Apexi RSM with g force sensor.
Escort Passport ZR3 with SR7. (Laser jammer and radar detector)
Tein EDFC
8 Bulb 180 watt strobe kit.
Sparkplugs or propane for the flames out the back. (could use advice here.)
2 under car kits: Blue neon for sitting, white leds for cruising. (Streetglow unless you know of better.)
Tire pressure and temperature monitoring system with alarm at 18psi.
Clifford Alarm, Lojack, Separate tracking system with max 6 minute update to watch from home (Advice on the one from home would be nice.)
Company logo in front grill made out of billet
Embroider logo in headrests.
Change harnesses to octopus type and reinstall factory belts for convenience.
Add tv to the nav system (if tturbopimp tells points me in the right direction)
Turbo Timer (apexi)
3 JL 10w7's in the back on 3 class D matts or other digital amps
Rebuild alternator.
Mb quart Q, or focal, or diamond, or dynaudio highs all the way around.
Extra speaker and leds for the radar detector so that it REALLY yells and blinds me when its slowdown time.
I think the hummer self inflating and deflating would take a very long time to get on the car, and I'd like it to be actually complete sometime soon.
PA system with sirens.
All the regular gauges (oil pressure, temp....EL from apexi most likely)
Other than Tv's in the rear headrests and a train horn under the car, is there anything else amazing that I need to be buying in the next few days?
Oh, Brakes are already done by someone you will all come to love after this one of a kind SICK brembo killing brake kit is complete. Right now only the rears are on, because when we changed the fronts out, the master cylinder couldn't push them all (Thus it looks like I am going to need an upgraded master cylinder also.)
When I get this soon to be 1000hp (crank) beast out of the shop, what would you guys suggest for rims to hold the slicks?

1)Junction Produce Tail lights
2)Haltek Stand alone ECU for turbo (instead of apexi piggy backs)
3)17" LCD monitors in the backs fot the seats + headrest monitors
4)cusco sway bars and member brace + control arms
5)3 sets of HID's (high beam/low beam/fogs)
6)Diamond d7 amps (they look sooo good)
7)For ur custom trunk enclosure....i've always wanted to do this....build a amprack for amps in the spare tire wheel well.....and then use plexi-glass for the top piece so u can see down into the amprack....here is the part that i always wanted to try....instead of using 1 piece of plexi-glass use 2 pieces of plexi-glass and make like a thin box out of plexi-glass and fill it with water and then seal it with silicone etc. etc. and use that as the top piece of ur amp rack.....so when the bass hits...the water inbetween the 2 pieces of plexi-glass would ripple....does that make any sense?

haltech i think is just a timer thingamabobber like the G-Force, i might be wrong i dunno.
very nice project, though i dont see why you need a rollcage since this will be a showcar?
neons.......neons..................even the name sounds cheesey to me but hey thats just my opinion. i think youre doing a pretty good job though. very optimistic project. sounds to me like youre going to build a 2F2F type car. very beautiful for its purpose, though i wouldnt have such a vehicle suit my taste.
Good Luck!
BTW, i hope youre not planning decals too. oh and one more thing, how do you get into the car? all the way up and over the bars?

This is what you need! 42" Plasma TV in the backseat! This is inside a Honda Odyssey at a local motor show last month!
Just kidding, I don't think it's even possible to fit 1/2 of this screen into the backseat of your GS, especially with all that rollcage. This guy won "The Most Innovative Idea" award though at the show!

Haha, that guy won the "Don't have to listen to the kids now!" award. I'd hate to be in an accident in the back, it'd be face through the glass time.
When I first got the cage installed, I had the option to do pins (which allow you to hinge the bar and have it swing out like the door does. The engineer said it would be the weak point of the cage, so I declined them, now I am having them put in, and changing out the harnesses (they are a nightmare to train new passengers at.) That means that I can swing out the bar with the door if I wish.
If I want to be a real stickler, I can get actuators to operate the bin on the cage the same time as the door locks, so that when I unlock or lock the doors, it also unlocks and locks the cagepin (so that it can swing with the door.
What a good idea! See, thats why I love this forum. Inspiration baby!
