update 1/20/09.

my car was down since 8/2008 - 9/3/08.. getting GTE swapped. the 1st mechanic fuxed up.

then took it to Kaizen Motorsports from 9/4/08 - 1/06/09.
they completed the swap + custom FMIC + downpipe + hks T04z.
i didn't have a car for over 5 months, really ridiculous, but I finally have it back.

heres a pic with my other set of wheels, work meister s1's.






lo-pro intercooler.


HID low beams and fogs.


the GS crew. my homies on the street, my girls on the driveway, mine to the right.

Your car looks amazing. How much power is the thing putting down? I like the low-profile intercooler. They won't know what hit them!

Thanks! I don't know how much power its putting down exactly, but it pulls @ 12psi. I will eventually dyno it. I'm going to keep it auto for now, but in the future I want to do a MKIV 6speed/rear end conversion. btw, i'm running a tranny cooler also.

Thanks! its Mercedes Obsidian Black Metallic. It'll be more sleeper when I throw my AME's back on.

thanks! It runs really good! The front clip had only 50k miles (81000km), went ahead and did all the main seals, gaskets, timing belt, etc. It runs awesome!

This is my exhaust set up. They RS*R Invidia mufflers for a LS400.

boosted86, are your headlights wired so the amber corner bulb only acts as the turn signal? Or does it stay on with your headlights? I cant tell if it's a glare in the HID low/fogs picture. Car looks amazing

Looks great, 2600 is good for a quality job, i'll be positing pics of my G/Fs 93 interior i'm currently working on so stay tuned.
