Looks good...I was wondering though, I see in your sig that you have two gauges above your HU...did you make the panel or did you buy it? I wanted to do the same thing. Let me know! Thanks

All panels and gauge pods are custom made.
This cars has being under works since it came out of the dealership in april 2001, and some of the parts you see had to be made for this car as at the time there was no one making shish for our cars


the interior seats and roof is all OEM done in carbon fiber look vinyl with suede.

Sweet car.. you should be getting into the magazines sometime soon I'd imagine.. with that much work...

Or heck, maybe even a spot in one of the car movies.. Fast n Furious 3 perhaps?? I know everyone bashes those FNF movies, but they do need fancy, worked over cars to participate. Somthing like yours would probably make the cut. Lots of work!

nice car interior and engine bay are sick. Was your interior alot of money? AHOw much money is in the motor? I was gonna go turbo on my d17a2 but think I'm gonna do a kswap come spring. Also I noticed an intake with filter-there's room for one how come dezod says there isn't room for one(thats why his kit doesn't have one). Don't get me wrong dezod( if you read this) your kits are nice I just don't know about having a turbo with just wiremesh in it stopping dirt and other particles going into my motor-no disrespect meant.

Nice setup. 1 Bar is a great start but with those pistons I think you can try a bit more. Since you have your head PNP'd I would defeinalty try our Crower Turbo Cam. Should give you a nice flow with your setup and a good amount of power. We are still looking to semi sponsor somone who has hit a 300whp goal on that block.

id luv to hit that goal ed but I just think its alot easier and cheaper to do it with a kseries. Anyone know How much money you think it would cost to reach that with a d17a2? Thats origanly what I wanted to do but it just seems alot cheaper in the end for the swap then turbo or n20. I'm glad someone is getting rep for our em2s in the tuner mags. It seems alot of people be hating on us 7thgens.
