Thanks everyone, The painting isn't finished yet, Bumpers/sides need to be painted still.

I thought that people looked before, But now being lowered/lime green, I get looks,laughs,pictures taken, questions, EVERYTIME I drive it! Its awesome...

^I got to get piping,intercooler,turbo,fmu(12:1),inline fuel pump, and my manifold flange welded. Im gonna keep up low (6-10lbs)

As for the coilovers, Im thinking about removing the stiff springs, and cutting some front festy springs for the rear, and front, and keeping the adjusters on it,.

Or, Buying limit straps/damping straps to give it a smoother ride for longer trips, but still giving me the abilty to have stiffer rears for the track.

[tls_zx3]

let me know when you need it welded. we can do the manifold/collector, and downpipe both in my garage in no time. and no flux core lmao...

i was thinking about getting an fmu for mine to. i have never been a fan of them but my engine management is the only thing that would really keep me from turboing my car. i can do the rest of it cheap. i would still get a wideband AFR gauge b/c a turbo car w/o one is just not smart. i wonder how much the stock injectors are good for with just the pressure cranked up to them

[cycle252]

Just a tid bit of info for you, you can make a non adjustable fmu adjustable by using a cheap manual boost control in conjunction with the fmu. ie. you can make a 12:1 into a 1-12:1 unit. Keeps things cheap if you dont want to buy an adjustable one. And like Tim said i would get a WB.. you can get a LC1 complete for about 170 shipped. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Innov...Q5fAccessories
