Wow no sunroof? You know..Ive seen many many SCs and one thing I can say about them is that no two SC (when compared) are the same. I like that. Yours is very nice. Yours looks very sleek. Im way past the 200k mark. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the comments everyone! They sure make me feel like I'm heading in the right track. I've been searching for years for this car, white, non-sunroof and cloth but the cloth was all eastcoast...

Here's a pic from a jTUNED meet, more pics of closeups, suspension and interior soon...

Very slick car! How does it drive with wheels on that offset??!?! I'd imagine it'd tramline like hell?

Looking good bro. Loving the offsets got any close up shots. Ha ha you didn't need to put dhustle like that whoever he is lol.

edit: Did you notice a big difference with the TT swaybars?

Oh hell yeah! The swaybars made the car so quick and nimble! I'd imagine if others drove my car they might oversteer into something. Took a lil while before I can control the turn in smoothly without making the back end wiggle. I custom made heimjoints so they're pretty good.

As for dhustle, he told me to bring my stock seats from SoCal to NOR*CAL so he can buy them. No deposit because everyone deserves to be trusted the first time. When I got up there, the guy would NOT pick up his phone. Numerous emails which were checked but never replied. What a jack...

Can't wait for a better LSD and some aero to finish the package. Then I can start focusing on the other parts of the car.
