Default The ISF blue gs is gone.. new project GS has begun

well, the original owner of this car sold it. then kind of jumped owners after that. the ONLY reason why i traded my car for this was ONLY because of what was under the hood. I was going to do a swap next year but this came about and i was like what the hell. So i traded the blue GS for this one and some cash of course. But as you can see from the pix its quite clear whose car this orginally was. The last owner i got the car from tried to do a one off bumper which completely turned out like CACa...... and then i had to get a friend to help fix it. the vinyl wrap was stripped off and the brown paint under it was completely ruined

Currently the car sits on BC racing coilovers, same motor set up (not changed) from the original owner, and a bunch of other mess....


This bumper is a 2012 BMW 750 M-sport bumper fitted to a GS....I am quite sure NO ONE has done this bumper yet.






car with bumper fixed. Looks 10x better now doesnt it????



Here is a side view of the car




yes yes i know crappy pix. but that is all i have. the fact is i am not doing a VIp build. I want this car to be somewhat fast. im going to say good bye to this GT42R and get me a precision 6466 or 6766. but i am leaning towards the 6466.

I already have a fuel system pieced together, I might have to get more stuff. i am still researching and taking alot of advice into consideration. I want this car to be ideally 600-700HP but realistically maybe 500-600HP and be reliable as possible. Anyways so far this is what i have.

Fuel System:

replica HKS fuel rail
ID1000cc injectors
fuel return
Innovative MTX-L wideband,
Aeromotive FPR
still need to get me a fuel filter
Still need to get a meth injection kit.

Brakes:

Supra TT calipers


Stuff i will be getting : precision 6466 or 6766 dont know yet. I am dumping the FIC and going full standalone. maybe AEM V2 or haltech.i will have the transmission built by Jeff Tsai later next year and i will add a LSD. Most of all this color has to go. it was a nice show car color but i need something lighter. I thought about doing this one in ISF blue or Glacier frost mica, but ill see.

anyways this is going to be fun

Congrats on the new pickup. Please don't paint it IS-f blue. You did that already. Do something different.
