Time To Share My Project...

I've never been too active on the forums but I figure it's time to share my ride with some of you...

I know it's a lot of yellow but its an original yellow 93 R1 with under 30k. I bought it basically as a rolling chassis a few years ago and built it to its current state. Plus the yellow wheels look better then when they were black (which gave it a bumblebee effect).

Enjoy

PS: Dont worry about the numbers... It's quick

Thumbs up

Looks like you put in a lot of work! Very cool! What size turbo and how much boost are you pushing?

Looks gorgeous. Personally, I like the yellow on the wheels... If you're gonna go yellow, might as well go all the way.

Bizarre place for a steering wheel, though.

The car looks great IMO. I think the yellow wheels actually look good. I probably wouldn't do it on my car, but I have a fetish for gunmetal rims. Congrats on building up such a nice FD!

The car is tuned to for driveablity and realiablity (respectively). So the numbers are somewhere around 400 at low boost and somewhere over 400 on high boost....

Very nice! Get a bumper guard so you don't burn up your bumper. Hey, I see you have a Porsche too (silver one in the back), possibly a 944 on the side? Kinda hard to tell from just looking at the mirror.

Thought about a bumper guard but a little simple green and it wipes right off. Add some wax to protect and do it all over again.

Also for you... the observent one it's a 996 GT3 one of my fathers toys... I'm lucky enough to be able to store my car with such prestine company. One day I too will have a garge like his at my house...

Looks real good! I like that people do what they want with these car, nice to see something different for a change.

BUT, what are the numbers? I too am running a Greddy T-88 34D, so I would be curious to know your dyno numbers so that I could compare.....
