thxs, im goin to throw up a pic of both the bra on and off. I think my car looks way better with the bra though. Damn still waiting for someone to host that pic for me..........
lol i will never sell my car. I put too much $$$ in it. and i couldn't get any of it back. Besides what could possibly be better? for a 17 yr old male? keep in mind insurance etc etc. In my opion the FC is the best car possible for anyone. Best rounded car, afforadable, cheap insurance LOOKS FAT, fast, everything u need...

Clean ride man. I like the blue under the hood. Functional and looks tight.
I notice you have the engine brace. You put that on yourself or was it on when you got the car? I'm seriously considering one for my FC.

ah, i made the cold air box myself and i used aluminum sheething, i think its called, just goto homedepot and look for thin aluminum pieces like half the size of a sheet of paper, ask for some help. they are cheep too, i just worked with the stuff to make it and bought some insulation also along with some alumium heat tape stuff looks like shiny duct tape. It works very well alos.

i put that racing beat torque brace on, it was one of the best cheapest mods ive done. I recommend it. it tightens up the engine alot. makes the car feel stiffer too. I origially bought it get to get rid of my cars shaking when going into first gear or reverse or going very slow, it felt like driving a bobcat very slow, back and forth back and forth. it also cured that too! thanks for all the compliments.

That looks like an exceptionally clean car. Newer style tailights and and threatning exhaust system... nice touch. Some may or may not care for the blue hose dressing in the engine bay but I'm sure everyone can agree it is very clean in there.
Although (I think) I do see one problem... aren't the wheels you have pictured on the left side suppose to be for the right side and I'm guessing the wheels that are on your passenger side should be on the driver side ??? They should be marked as to what side they belong to on the back of the wheel...

They are on there correctly. The bologna slicers point forward, the TII rims are the ones that point backwards.

1revvin7, I thought you did a turbo conversion. What car is that? Daily driver? Personally, I hate bras on any car. But it looks worse if the bra's been on there for 15 years, then you take it off and see all of the scratch and stain marks.

That was my old setup, like a year ago. Now SonicRat has that motor. I am ditching the bra because I am going with the gp sports front bumper, oh i forgot to mention that bumper under the bra was smashed thats why i had the bra....
