Talking Custom Turbo'ed GS300, 3 years in the making

Hey guys,
I was gonna wait till it was done, but since I got my digital camera, I cant anymore. This thing is bad-***. The car has been in the works for about 3 years now. I know the owner of it, but I wont disclose any names, but the reason it has taken so long is that, he has been "cut off" and he hasnt been able to afford to get this thing done quick. It could have got done like 2 years ago, if not due to the money problem.
3 years ago their wasnt any turbo kits for the GS, that i know of. But this one is totally custom. Everything. I will post later of to what exactly everything down to the spec it has. I know it has a t-66 turbo with nitrous. This car is turbo charged with nitrous and a blitz body kit. It is also rolling on Blitz 19" wheels. It will be running later this week hopefully. Here are some pics of it. I will post some more as soon as I can.
They guy working on the guy is a DSM expert, I wont release his name, but, he really knows his ****. Awesome mechanic and even better guy. One thing I am worried about, is that this car hasnt been cranked in 2 years. So there is no telling what it will do. Prob. blow the **** up. But, it is controlled by a AFC as you can see. I dont know when it will be tuned properly on a dyno. Lets just hope it runs first. Here are some pics of it. I love this car!!

So your friend just let the car sat like that for 3 years? :eek: First thing he needs is some new battery and 4 new tires, it's so worn out it's down to the rims. hehe

All kidding aside, the turbo looks nice and clean. I hope he can get it going soon.

Cool. Very clean setup. Hope you post some dyno figures soon. I am pretty surprised the guy let the car sit for 3 years though!

P.S. Be nice ladies.
