I've seen this spedo in your car and man it's SWEEEET, Jeff wouldn't look away long enough for me to switch it out with the old one real quick. Let's not forget the absolutely stunning exhaust system your car has got that Jeff's brother at epic welding made for ya. That's a one off of truely rare and amazing quality! Never mind your shadow grey interior, your Recaro MKIII stock seats, etc.....bastard. Kidding! but very jealous!

How did that new snail work out for ya? Better?

Thanks Gord!

I suppose I do have a few more unique things than i initially stated. However I figured i would omit the exhaust from my list as it is being replaced right now with something new.

The new turbo went in last week, although I am still waiting on my transmission rebuild to test it out. Hopefully I can drop off the old one to you this week after I fly home from work. Thank you again for the CT-26 and bearing retainer plate. Both were very much appreciated!

The faded/peeling clear coat and big dents in both fenders are pretty unique to my car.

Fuck previous owners. :(

Cold Air intake (I.e one near the ground) I wouldn't think to do to much out here as the asphalt temps are pretty hot.
Could suck up monsoon water pretty good, which is definitely NOT good...

to my list twin throttle bodies.
Very unique there... Kinda curious now, as to why? Change the sound at all? Neat regardless...

18" RP01 spare (to fit the front 14" brake) utilized as a sub enclosure to save space. Put the floor down = looks stock :D

Well done sir... can't even tell there is a sub in the spare area. Well done indeed...

Add another 700rpm to that chart, our cars could hit 200 given enough power and a long enough salt flat. ;)


Another unique thing I have in my car (only seen a few others) is the JZA70 rear hatch carpet. Lets you lay more stuff in the hatch, and there's a little hump in the carpet shaped for your spare tire. Also gets rid of that board thing. So, you lose a flat floor (and the ability to hide stuff under it, like KevinM), but you get more usable space, IMO. :)

My Intake being in its stock location can still get water in there lol.

Hmmm use a AEM EMS to raise the RPMS a little :)
