Some sweeettt pics man! I pitty the fool that pulls up next to you and starts reving.

 

Nice rims man. Are you able to drive it hard and feel confindent in your brakes and suspension. I guess the brakes are fine if you only use them once in a while (ie not the track)....?

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I appreciate it. I'm not going to add up all the money I've spent on this--but I can say that I'm making up for lost time. Most of you guys are in your early twenties and already have a really nice car. I'm 35 and this is my very first non-beater. I've got some catching up to do

To answer some of the questions... The suspension is Eibach springs. The combination of the Stillen and the high flow cats is a little loud. I might need to have a muffler shop look at reducing some of the drone--but when I'm alone the sound is enjoyable.

I have a solution to the brakes problem

How many pounds of boost are your running to get 375 at the wheels? Sweet ride!!!!!!! You make me want to consider getting a FI setup. Please get to the track and do a couple of runs, and let us know the details.

The Vortech supercharger boosts up to 8psi. I should point out that I'm taking out quite a bit of timing at upper RPMs so although the 375 rwhp is nice, it's still a conservative tune to prevent (hopefully) blowing up the engine.

I've been to the track one time. My first time ever. Wheel spin was a HUGE problem--partly bad technique, partly track conditions, partly tires. My best 60ft time was 2.3 just to give you and idea of how bad I was. Even so, the 1/4 mile time was 13.6 with a trap speed of 107.5. So, I'm very optimistic that with better tires and better technique I can easily break into the 12s.

I'm liking the shots of the wheels for some reason. They just... work. =]

Zimbo what gauges are you running make size model and how do you like them? Do they block line of sight any? Very nice ride!!

 

Just one word: Phattt!!

 

Gauges are the AEM Wideband O2, the Autometer electronic Vacuum/Boost, and Autometer Pyrometer. They don't obstruct the view at all--but I'm waiting on a custom A-pillar that will hide them a bit more.

Very sweet ride, very sweet!

Very cool ride, but yes, wheel spin would be real bad. Im assuming you have already investigated the LSD option or have installed already. Also, does the Vortech kit work with 5AT sedans? Im ready to go FI, but need to get the LSD first. Kinda silly to let the traction control clamp down the power, or smoke your right tire down to a slick.

 

The 2004 6mt sedan comes with a limited slip differential--are you saying it's insufficient?

--Steve

 

If he doesn't I will and I paid $900 to add mine on, I run into it's limitation's all to frequently and with a lot less power then you've got. Be thankfull your's was free. Sigh,.........
