What a nice build. Paid so much attention to detail and spent the money where it needed to be spent. I wish I could make that kind of power from my 1JZ. Nah, I am happy where I am at. Car looks good, and the new rims and brakes just sit it off even more.

OK, can't stand it anymore. My **** retentiveness is driving me crazy. Is it me or is the intercooler crooked.

Truf,

Tell Ed to fix the damn thing.
Can't have a 800hp car with a crooked intercooler. Ha HA

It drives me crazy when my clamps on the silicone couplers are crooked. I got problems.
