Really nice! I de-badged my 2004 Coupe, now thinking of adding back the Mt. Fuji after seeing yours (my has spoiler, too). Good looking car.

 

Thanks! Yeah, I hear that about the engine bay, I dunno I just thought red, black and carbon fiber would look cool and to me it does. I'm just weird LOL :P

About the tints, stupid IL have dumb laws about tints. You cna have your back ones as dark as night, but you gotta leave the front ones tint-free, go fig.

STL-G Thanks for the compliment! Next time we have a Chicago Z meet you should drive up I-55 and come hang out with us.

 

Yeah, its the same here in jersey. You cant have any tint on the front 2 windows but I still do. On my old eclipse, I had 35% tint all around and only got pulled over once. Soon I am putting 20% tint on all of my windows. I am going a little darker because I will have some TVs.

What I would do to make the engine bay match a little better is to paint your brake caliper's red. Just my opinion.

 

very well done ..... are u tuned?

 

Actually thats not a bad idea, thanks!

Nope. When I ran the car on the dynojet last month, they said I was a little lean, but I was okay.

 

Turns out I did have some $$$ to spare to pick up some rims a buddy was selling... check it out:

Racing Hart R5's kids.

 

Good lookin car.!!
Like the engine bay.!!

 

love the rims! big difference. so clean

 

Nice car!
Is that the lowest you can go with Tein Basics?
Cusco camber plates had enough to bring alignment back to specs?

 

looks good .

Thanks everyone!

No, the TB's can go lower and yes the Cusco's will get the car back into alignment.

 

S.E.... Thanks for the compliments.

"wow ... with the money you spent on all those material items .. i bet you could have gone FI .. if not close to it ... and to make 249 ... i would kill myself ... sorry brother !"

Now I respect any negative feedback, but wow man...

I did some research on the FI route and to make it fast and reliable it would cost close to 12K! Sorry, don't have that kind of money lying around. Oh, did you see my other mods??? The suspension, the brakes (granted they are not BBK, but since I use 17's in the winter that might be a clearence problem), etc??? I upgraded all aspects of my car, not just concentrate on one thing.

90% have rims, huh? Yeah, well there are different types of rims. Sure, there are other folks with RH 5 Pro's, but not 90% of them.

 

What does the equal to at the crank??

 

i give him props for achieving 249 on n/a mods with a 5at

sure, with enough money anyone can go f/i and easily obtain 300+ whp

but to strive and get 300whp n/a..now thats something you gotta respect

but 249 is impressive as well

car looks good jc79g35

 

doesnt really matter

here, people only focus on whp because that is what matters
