snapped this yesterday while setting up for a local show

 

Are you in the same club as the guy with the white M5 with the similar presidential style seal on his car?

 

^ nah, different team. if that M5 was at SEMA, my guess is that john from heavy hitters asked the owner if he could have the decal put on.

 

Lookin good playa!

Beautiful man.

 

Thanks man!

 

Sweet, super super clean!

 

cars is amazing!

 

Truly an inspiration. I can never get tired looking at this car. Congrats again on the feature Chris!

 

I'm so late but if I still had my old IP G, it would look like your car now. Congrats man. You've done a phenomenal job with the mods. Excellent taste

How do you like the GTM turbo kit vs the Greddy one?

 

thanks guys, Lucy appreciates your kind words

 

Thanks man. I don't have any experience with the Greddy kit, but initially looked at it (and the JWT kit) due to easier options for mounting my coolers. I also didn't want to move around all of the reservoirs, etc. I had in my engine bay. The pricing on the GTM kit was compelling enough, however, that I went that route anyway. The only minor gripe I have thus far is that I still haven't found a suitable place to put my coolers - the transmission and oil coolers are now mounted between the intercooler and radiator. I want to put them back behind the vents in my kuruma so I may end up standing them up long ways so they clear the GTM I/C and intake piping.

 

I love what you did to your car. Great job!

 

I've finally got around to posting the pix from the turbo build

Dropped the car off 1 mile under 83k



Old engine bay...so long Vortech. It has a very nice home now



Engine is out



Rob & Josh having fun



A few pix of the engine with the transmission, momentun headers, and ART pipes installed.









Tear down begins...











Lucy's guts just sitting there on a rack



Time for paint, polish, & chrome!

Front timing cover professionally polished this time...doing it by hand with it in the car was no fun



Alternator, crank pulley, and power steering pump







Finally...everything arrives from GTM



strip tease...



Stage 4 transmission



Snails





On with the motor build!



...and installing all the shiny new stuff







Not much room for the turbos





Almost ready



Up she goes





The bigger intercooler meant I needed to move my coolers...still need to find a better location...
