[QUOTE="KLeech, post: 13050356, member: 132442"] First off thanks everyone for checking this out, hopefully everyone enjoys the content. There's lots and lots of stuff to cover in this, Tork Tech, Corbeau, XXR, Toyo Proxes drag radials, LFP, trunk mounted intercooler reservoir, and way more! A little back story on the car, it's a 2001 GT, bought it bone stock a little over 2 years ago, the kid never cleaned it and knew nothing about it. Last winter I put the blower on the car and ran it all last year on 8psi with Tork Techs starter tune. It was tons of fun, but this winter I decided I was going to take everything that I'd done, and refine it to what I hope will be worthy of showcar status someday. I've been collecting parts since last October for it and about 2 weeks ago I finally drug it out of storage to bring home and start working on it! So on to the pictures, feel free to post up your feelings and comments! [B]UPDATE ON THE END OF PAGE 4 WITH NEW T45SOURCE TRANSMISSION INSTALL.[/B] [B]ANOTHER SHORT UPDATE ON PAGE 5 WITH SOME INFO SINCE THE TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN.[/B] Here's the car literally the first day I bought it, nice and all but ugly wheels and in a dire need of a cleaning!
