Update on the ride!

Been working on the car here and there and got a few things done. Also got some new shoes! All I need now is a nice drop and do a little detailing on the body.

The wheels are Riverside Zivell Sports 18 x 7.5 with a +41 Offset. Good enough for now until I save up for another set of 18's that are wider with an aggressive offset.

Nope... but if you saw them on there, I was the one selling them before. Decided to keep them for now.

Wow,, I never called anyone out and was not necessarily talking about you. I truthfully never paid attention to where your gauges were mounted. Have seen them but never paid attention to them. I was simply saying that I have seen plenty of boosted/soon to be boosted SC's who have really poor gaure placement (particularly in the SC forum, in which it is one of many that I visit often). Where his gauges are sitting,, almost looks as if they belonged there from the very start.

Dude,, dont underestimate this guy. I mean he took the time to boost a 94 Toyota Camry, just for the fun of it,, and then took it back apart and sold it. Just check the little gauge on the far left side of his pic., not to mention that emanage in the glove box. If it aint boosted yet,,, it soon will be. I look forward to seeing the progress on this one. As I stated before Curry,,, nice work!!!

Boosted luxury car with 400 to the wheels

or

Half boosted Camry struggling to make 250 to the wheels that desperately needed a paint job.

I'll admit as crazy as I went on the camry I left a lot of crap half assed and unfinished... My reason for this was it was more my experimentation car than anything. I learned to do nearly everything on it.

Thats not my plan for this car though... I can tell you 100% it WILL get boosted. Maybe not right now but by spring/summer... PSSSSSSSSSSSHTTTTT (btw all the parts for the turbo are sitting on my desk. just need some pipe to make the manifold and the hot/cold pipes.)
