thanks, but i wanna try the mk4 now if somebody wants to make a trade or good price
Just happened to find these...
Before, taken the day I got the car actually...
I'd rather not talk about this...
Replaced all the body parts myself and had it painted by a friend of my then boss. Looked a lot worse than it was, but it's still not perfect.
After the body work, got rid of the sawblades and lowered the car....
The 7M lasted about 6 months after that, before becoming another victim of BHG, it actually popped racing a 1JZ'd Supra...that was my sign....
The swap...
Sorry for big pic there, guess photobucket decided not to resize that one...
In...
Now with the 12b's, soon to be singled...

^Looking good, man! How are those CT12Bs?
Here's my laters before afters mostly from my build thread. Nothing special.
Before
Then turbo kit. Pretty dirty but ran.
Then, rebuilt turbos, ceramic coated parts.
Now. Replaced bad and ripped couplers. A little more general clean up.

Thanks Duane.
It's getting there. There's still a few things to do. Finish replacing the rest of the blue couplers with black. Replace blue vacuum hoses with normal black ones. Get custom intake done. A few other odds and ends.
I'm trying to put an end to the madness by the end of the year and finish most of this car up... ::hang::
I wanna buy a new car/daily driver in 08.

Thanks man it's no wheres near as nice as your car/setup but I'm slowly working my way towards it. You've been a motivation to keep sticking with it, and see it through.
I wish I could tell you how much fun the 12b's are but I haven't really gotten to enjoy them. I'm planning on buying another laptop this weekend, and tuning the car myself. I'm tired of waiting on buddies to help me, and even more fed up with driving a car around that isn't running 100%, it sucks to floor it, feel it pull and then just fall on it's face because it's so rich. I guess I should have stuck with stock injectors from the get go, then upgraded to the MKIV purple top 550's/440's whatever they are.
I've all but promised the turbo's to a friend of mine, but am tossing around keeping them as I'm wanting to do a 1JZ'd Cressida. And, since the turbo's have upgraded compressors wheels, I think it'd make it a killer DD, as long as I never get the urge to push the turbos past roughly 28psi they'd live too.
Enough rambling I guess, thanks for the compliment and best of luck with the twins.
this thread has inspired me in so many ways its not even funny...
