Pentaxis · 12-04-2006, 10:16 PM

Thanks guys. =) The intercooler, stock ecu, and stock injectors are going to vacate the engine bay very shortly after break in.

Nice ride man! Let us know when you go to the dyno.

Just Wong It · 12-05-2006, 02:52 PM

EvanB756 · 12-05-2006, 03:19 PM

MR2TuRbZ · 12-05-2006, 03:39 PM

very well done!

5FistsoftheNorthStar · 12-05-2006, 04:24 PM

the 3rd pic is the money shot. You should definitely try to get this in the MR2only mag!

turbomr2 · 12-05-2006, 04:30 PM

That looks awesome!!!!

boostd4 · 12-05-2006, 11:44 PM

God I love SMG... can't wait till I can pony up and turn my black one SMG.

Paint looks awesome, very clean!

IMO, 18's look too big in the front without a Border/Bomex front.. they look good on the front of cars that actually have an engine up there

, just my 2 cents.

Pentaxis · 12-08-2006, 12:04 PM

Thanks again guys.

I am planning on a Border front, toms sides, toms rear combo, with wider front fenders if I can get them, and subtle flares in the back. Gonna top it off with a bomex drift deck wing, and shaved mouldings, plus revision 6 headlamps. I bought the wheels a little large at first so I wouldn't have to buy them again. =)

My only concern is color. Sometimes I absolutely love SMG, and sometimes not so much. (at night in particular) I can't decide if I want to do a full respray in Porsche Carrera GT Silver Metallic (super lustrious) or re-do the SMG. Overall I think i would be more happy with the high quality silver. It would contrast with my wheels better, and make the taillamps pop more. I also plan on installed a set of red Status seats, and I think the neutral color of silver would go better with this as well.

Thoughts?

Mekkahfire · 12-09-2006, 03:58 PM

Sigh... One day ;[

Sang · 12-09-2006, 04:37 PM

Looks awesome. It seems you've put a great deal of thought into your build.

Any chance you can get some pics of the Wolfkatz SS lines installed later? I'm sure garrett/julie wont mind some either to use for their website
