Well, it's been an interesting 1 and half years since I started tinkering with my G35 Coupe I have dubbed "Kasumi". It has been an adventure to say the very least. There were times when in what seemed a simple install turned into a major freaking project. But it was all worth it and I am happy to say Kasumi is officially finished! Why? Well, it has come time to shift financial recources to house, maybe marriage, etc, etc, etc. Plus, I already did alot: I have a very easy breathing VQ35, a great suspension set-up, awesome brakes and my car is sharp looking (which was made easier since the twilight blue color be rare). Anyway, enough of me yapping here's the final products pics...

FINAL WHP NUMBERS: 249.49 RWHP

 

Wow!

Very nice.

Just out of curiosity, how much HP and TQ do those mods give you at the wheels?

 

249.49 RWHP. Mine's a '04 5AT BTW.

 

Outstanding job !!

 

Nice job, adding stillen headers shouldnt hurt

 

OH6 - thanks!

skater - actaully, if I WOULD get headers, they would probably be the Crawfords.

 

Looks great!

 

Wow...job well done.

 

Sweet NA setup. I think you have wisely played out your mods evenly to come up with a very flexible and well balanced ride. Not to mention I too have a TB and love the exclusivity! Although, I got the even rarer graphite interior. Almost all the TB coupes I was looking at had willow interior until I found my gem almost 300 miles away..... ^_^ V

 

engine bay is intense

 

Very clean. Good job. Now you NEED some wheels to go with all that.

 

Looks good. I like the engine bay

 

Thanks everyone!

Regarding the wheels:
I would really like to get a set of Gunmetal Volk SF Winning on some BFG KDW's. There was actaully a barely used set on sale at one of the shops by me for 3K. But I decided against it since I'm trying to set aside cash for other things... BUT if I did have the money SF Winning and Crawford headers would be on the top of the list.

 

very well done...........love the engine bay more then anything......very clean, the v1 install looks good too

 

Nice G. Keep the stock rims on it. It has sleeper status IMO. Just curious, why would you choose the crawford headers over the stillen headers?
