I swear, I'm keeping this one. It's not an FD though.
« on: November 28, 2011, 08:17:29 PM »
I am picking up the car in Chicago on Wednesday and will start to get her tore apart ASAP. I also picked up a Heads-Cam LS3 today. Tomorrow I'm picking up a built T-56 that should handle the power. Should put down at least 480hp to the wheels with the FAST 102 and Nick Williams TB.  Here are a few pics. I really want to keep this one as a daily driver for a while anyway but we all know my track record.

Car looks great, I have also always wanted one of these. Good luck with the build, if you need a hand just give me a call.

That's the same color combo my 3'er had.   :)



Hopefully yours is less annoying with little details than mine was (always some little electronic thing being a dick, haha).

I think there should be some bets on this, other then a slap.

There's no way you are keeping this.
