I think thats it.

Last dyno was 194 RWHP/137 Torque.

Thats right bill, I said it 194 N/A horsepower BTW... thanks for the pics and you forgot to include your uninstalled clutch in the mod list

My old car looks good MC......I knew it went to a good home.

Thanks Vinnie, its running great I have 2,000 miles or so on the engine and getting ready to take it to Ga. soon.

God who took those pictures?? I almost fell out of my chair looking at the last one!! MC I still need to see that car in person so I can make a good call on my vote this month, maybe even a test drive! I think Bill let me drive his once so its only fair lol.. Good luck to both of you!!

WE3RX7 · 02-14-2011, 07:55 PM

What, you dont like the gangsta lean on the photos? Come on... it makes you focus on the photo and not the contents of the photos, lol..

And MC - damn you. That is all.

Dude, MC is going to own you every chance he can till you make your 8 have more power! But maybe whats more important is to see who's would be faster around the track??

Gangsta lean is cool but first look and focus on the picture, hang on to the arms of the chair or end up on your gangsta ass lol

FcRx8MEL · 02-14-2011, 08:04 PM

Here's a few pictures of my car for now... I'll get some up of the engine bay and interior as well as the mods list soon.

I'm working on sanding and painting the new bumper now so hopefully that'll be done in time and I'll update the pics.

Sorry the pictures are so huge.. can't figure out how to make them any smaller...

WE3RX7 · 02-14-2011, 08:35 PM

I remember you from the gap. With the exhaust tips how can you lose?? Whats the list of mods and what bumper did you go with?

Haha thanks DJ... it's true, my dad is the coolest.
And really, I should get at least a little credit for being a girl who works on my own car

WE3RX7 · 02-14-2011, 09:43 PM

Credit where credit is due.

2gslse · 02-15-2011, 04:15 PM
