didn't you have a set of s5 TII rims you sold for dirt cheap not too long ago?
Is that the same car I bought the AFM from?
Kevin, are you into performance at all, as in like drag racing, auto xing, etc?
Oh and, is that your house? Is that where you do your work then too or do you have a seperate place for RR?
Kev, now all you need is the silver wheel lip trim from the parts car and you are golden!
Where did you end up getting it painted?
Anyway Im going to have him do my S-10 as well. HE had this neon he was putting a tribal design on the hood and doors/fenders, and it was freakin awesome, show quality for sure. In Viper blue none the less! It reminded me of what I wanted to do with the lowrider, black with silver ghost flames up front, and he said he could do it no problem.
I like em but not as much as the rest of the package.
You have been busy Kevin!! Nice vert!!!!
Looks good, love the steering wheel.

What do ya say Kevin, 20b
The high compression and heavy GSLSE rotors and counterweights will help with torque/low end for this heavy *** bitch. THE 3mm seals will help hold up against the boost, which I use sparingly. The rearend will help with take off as well, but hurt the road manners/mileage a bit (a vert with an exhaust revved up sucks). However the hicomp rotors should maintain some degree of mileage as well.

wow...I'm pretty surprised by how good it looks. I wasn't sure which 3kgt wing you were talking about. Good choice, I have to get used to it but it's not ugly or anything...just weird seeing on a car that doesn't weigh more than my house. Also I LOVE the wheels on the car...and I don't even like 18's! They look very good, but not big at all...they fit the car. Congrats man, I'm very surprised...the car is gorgeous.

Nice looking vert. I don't like the spoiler or the new wheels personally, but what matters is if you like them, not me. I wish mine was red, I love red, but my interior is blue (Why the F___ did Mazda make blue interiors???) so I am stuck with blue. I would like to find a complete grey or black interior..........

Engine bay?? WTF? lol
Well, lets see. IT is a bone stock 89-91 NA engine. The DPO that had the car thought he was gonna make a freakin racecar out of it, so he painted the engine bay with flat black engine paint. Yes, all of it. Over top of the red, which he later scratched up while installing the jspec. So the bay is flat black with red scratches. Thus, no enginebay pics. Plus, the paint guy did a great job on the outside, but he sprayed a shitload of paint through the turbo scoop, and now I have a pink VDI intake that Ill have to clean up.
So, for now, no engine bay pics. The thing runs great (rebuild, 2k miles, medium SP on 5/6 ports only, pineapple sleeves) but isnt fast or even pretty, right now. As I said, all that will come later. For now it is just a highway cruiser, and a damn good one at that.
