I am getting a new engine from BNR and a stage III turbo... And all the crap to go along with it. This car is going to be awesome when I am done with it... And I'm never getting rid of it. Someone will have to pry the keys out of my cold, dead fingers.

Thanks for the compliments guys! As for me knowing what I'm doing, that is yet to be determined... Right now, I am just stockpiling parts in my closet, then in the spring time, it's going to the mechanic for a couple of weeks. I would do it soon, but it will be totally undrivable in the winter, and I can't have that.
I thought I got a good deal for my TII($1400). Don't get anymore mods until you get some gauges unless you don't care about this engine.

I'm trying to figure out exactly which gauges to get and how I am going to mount them... I will probably put the A/F meter and the new boost gauge on the pillar, but I would like to redo some of the dash, just to make it flow a bit better... I put in a new stereo, and the install kit leaves a lot to be desired, so I am currently at the drawing board... Any ideas?

Well I am putting my oil press and egt gauges on the a-pillar and my boost gauge mounted onto the black part that surrounds the stock gauges. If and when I get anymore gauges I plan to mount them in front of the idiot lights. How's the interior look in your new car?

The interior is in really good shape... I want to get a new stereo surround, because it's kinda faded... I am also going to replace the carpet, simply because it's 15 years old. I saw a VERY cool boost gauge mounting job in a "Turbo" magazine... If you want to see it, I'll scan it and email it to you... The guy mounted it on his steering column. It's really trick. I want to put some gauges where the idiot lights are, and maybe relocate the idiot lights down under the radio, or somewhere else??? I think my fuel gauge needs to be calibrated, or replaced... I wouldn't mind getting all new gauges, because quite frankly, I don't like the orange... That's just me though. I'm planning on getting a Profec-B, an S-AFC, all the gauges to monitor all the crazy stuff I'm gonna do... I just don't want to slap it all together. I'm pretty decent at fabricating stuff, so we'll see how it all looks. I'm also designing a new front bumper for it, and I'll see if I can get someone to fabricate it for me.

The wheels look better that way... I've had them on both ways, I like them this way... Besides, I am going to get some 17's soon. Probably some Konig Villains.

Thanks for all the compliments guys... She is pretty much my favorite thing in the whole world, aside from my two pups... Who totally dig the ride, by the way... I knew labs were smart. My yellow lab goes apeshit to ride in it, including jumping through the window uninvited.

I didn't even see this thread until now!
Gad Domnit. As soon as I find my time machine I'm gonna go sweettalk your boss!
Great find, enjoy the car, and seems like you saved tons of money for getting it so cheap so you can afford plenty of well needed mods.
If you wreck her I will be forced to gnaw on your throat.
Great find!@$!@
I'm not as jealous because I have an FC, and am selling mine, to get a better FC
Gotta love em!
P.S. As your next mod, consider a radar/laser detector to keep it out of impound
