Default Keeping the wallet empty! Winter Modding Started.

Sorry, i've been quiet and emo lately so I thought i sohuld give a reason why.


It's because I went from this... to this dealy-o.





To this...







and I picked up this for a winter and daily and i've been working on it.





Put a system in it and cleaned it.

The turbo is a Borg Warner s372, from what I can tell, this turbo has been modified in some sort and the model has been grinded off. So I am not sure if this is the upgraded wheel or what.
